170 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. [Bemiieks. 



62. melanopygus, Grav. 



Heniiteles melanopygus, Gr. I. E. ii. 835 ; Tasch. Zeils. Ges. Nat. 1865, p 125 ; 

 Schm. Term. Fiiz. 1897, p. 530, 9. 



Head black, with the palpi red. Antennae red, becoming black towards 

 the incrassate apices. Thorax black, with the pro- and meta-thorax some- 

 times dorsally castaneous ; metathorax somewhat smooth, with the costae 

 and apophyses distinct. Abdomen finely punctate, pale red, with the 

 apex black, base of the first segment and apex of the third often infuscate, 

 fourth mainly black and the last sub-testaceous ; basal segment slender, 

 slightly dilated gradually towards the apex, carinate, tuberculate and 

 feebly aciculate ; terebra about one-third of the length of the abdomen. 

 Legs entirely pale red. Wings not clouded ; radix and tegulae whitish ; 

 areolet regularly pentagonal with the outer nervure sub-obsolete. Length, 

 3-5 mm. 



In outline it is said to be similar to H. dubius. 



That this species ever occurred in Britain is extremely doubtful, since it 

 is only known on the Continent from Silesia ; however it must, at least 

 for the present, be retained for it figures in both our 1870 and 1872 

 catalogues.

 Antennae filiform, slightly attenuate basally, black, with the elongate- 

 globose scape and whole flagellum red beneath ; three basal flagellar 

 joints apically sub-nodulose, the first two sub-equal in length, the third a 

 little shorter. Thorax black, with the pronotum flavidous ; mesonotum 

 anteriorly, scutellum apically, mesopleurae and remainder of the prothorax

 notauli ; metathorax finely scabrous, areola wanting ; basal costa distinct, 

 strongly bisinuate and centrally acuminate at the obsolete basal area ; 

 apical costa also strong ; petiolar area vertical, discreted and smoother ;

 nitidulous, obsoletely punctulate with sparse white pubescence ; black,

 slightly sub-callose ; terebra one-third of the length of the abdomen. 

 Legs clear red, with the front tibiae externally inflated ; base of all the 

 tibiae distinctly white ; apical tarsal joint, centre and apices of the 

 posterior tibiae, apices of the hind femora and of their tarsal joints,
