In July, 1914. Mr. G. H. Hardy exhibited some speci- 

 mens of an Ichneumon (species not determined), having a 

 colour pattern identical with some very common Bracons 

 (species not determined). Mr. Hardy now exhibited a 

 number of Ichneumons belonging to four definitely dis- 

 tinct species, for each one of which there is a Bracon hav- 

 ing identical, or almost identical, colour patterns. 



The species exhibited were as follow: — 



No. 1 . Four female specimens subfamily Pimplides, 

 having no areolet. The head, the thorax as far back as 

 the posterior wings and intermediate legs, and also the 

 anterior legs, red. The abdomen black, and apex of seg- 

 ments white, all other portions including the wings black. 

 Mr. Littler has two male specimens of this. There is a 

 Bracon with an identical colour pattern. 



No. 2. 1 female specimen subfamily Pimplides, pro- 

 bably of distinct genus to the last, having no areolet. Head 

 only red , anterior and intermediate legs black above, and 

 white, oi partly white, below ; other colours as in the first 

 species. There is a Bracon with identical colours, except 

 that there is no white on the legs, and there is a small 

 patch of red hidden on the under side of the prothorax.

 undetermined. Head and anterior legs red ; the apex of 

 the thorax including the median segment white, also a 

 Vvhite dot at the base of the posterior wings; colour of all
