150 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. [Glj'pla. 



more finely, punctate ; genal costa sinuate ; clypeus of $ sometimes pale 

 marked. Antennae black, with the flagellum ofthe male rufescent beneath. 

 Thorax black with a pale pronotal mark before the tegulae and strongly, 

 with the mesonotum more sparsely and finely, punctate ; metathoracic 

 costae strongly defined. Scutellum immaculate. Abdomen shining, less 

 coarsely punctate, with infuscate pubescence ; basal segment short and 

 convex, Avith the carinae not elongate ; the second to fourth segments 

 transverse ; terebra nearly as long as the abdomen. I-t^gs somewhat 

 stout, red with the coxae and trochanters, apices of the hind tibiae and 

 their tarsi, nigrescent. Wings with the tegulae black, though usually 

 paler in ^ . Length, 6 mm. 



The peculiarly beak-like production of the face will at once distinguish 

 this apparently rare species from all the others of the present genus. 



Bridgman tells us (Trans. Norf. Soc. v, p. 72) that Mr. E. A. Atmore 

 has bred this species from Tortrix viburnajia , T. adjunctana and T. 

 decretana, probably at Kings Lynn, in Norfolk. The only specimen I 

 have seen is a female in Marshall's collection in the British Museum ; it 

 is labelled byBillups "From Taejiiocampa miniosa. Mr. Fenn," and on the 

 same card is its own transparent papyraceous cocoon, which is cylindrical 

 and nearly colourless. 



8. rubicunda, Bvidg. 



Glypta rubicunda, Bridg. E. M. M. 1890, p. 208, S ? : cf. Trans. Norf. Soc. v. 

 p. 70. 



Somewhat shining and black. Head transverse and somewhat obliquely 

 constricted behind the eyes ; clypeus with long and dense pubescence. 

 Antennae about two-thirds the length of the body. Thorax finely punc- 

 tate and immaculate ; metathoracic areae obsolete or wanting. Abdomen 

 elongate and slender, dull, very finely punctate and as broad as the thorax ; 

 of $ with the three basal segments, of ^ with at most the second some- 

 times, dull red ; basal segment nearly twice, second and third about one- 

 fourth, longer than broad; oblique impresions shallow and extending 

 only to about two-thirds the length of the segment, those on the fourth 

 subobsolete ; terebra very little longer than the abdomen. Legs red with 

 the coxae and trochanters black ; hind tarsi and the apices of their tibiae 

 nigrescent, with the base of the former rufescent. Wings with the tegulae 

 flavous ; stigma rufescent, with a narrow infuscate margin ; nervellus 

 nearly straight and intercepted below the centre. Length, 12 — 13 mm. 



This is a very distinct species and may be easily recognised by its 

 pubescent clypeus, the length of its abdominal segments and the colour 

 of both legs and abdomen. 



The only known examples of this species appear to be those of both 

 sexes bred by Mr. G. Elisha from Argyrolepia mariiimana, which are in 

 the Bridgman collection at Norwich. 



9. femorator, De%v. 

 Glypta femorator, Desv. Cat. 73, i ; cf. Bridg. Trans. Norf. Soc. v. 71. 

 Head transverse, but not strongly narrowed behind the eyes ; face 

 clothed with elongate grey pilosity, epistoma prominent ; mandibles 

 entirely black, and not apically flavescent ; clypeus flavescent with elon- 

 gate griseous pubesence, cheeks longer than width of mandibles at base ; 

 palpi testaceous with the base black. Antennae hardly shorter than the
