204 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. {^Pezomachits. 



femora, apex and before base of posterior tibiae with a brownish tinge. 

 Length, 4 mm. 



Very like P. vagatis in general appearance ; and apparently closely 

 allied to P. vulneratis. 



Taken by Dr. Capron in the neighbourhood of Shere, in 1884 ; and 

 subsequently by Bignell at Plympton, towards the end of September. 

 The type of this species, taken in Surrey, is in my collection, and I have 

 seen another specimen taken by Chitty at Doddington in Kent, 31st 

 October, 1904. 



24. distinctus, Fdrst. 



Pezoniachus distinclus, Furst. Wiegm. Arch. 1850, p. 155, ?. 



Flagellum with the two basal joints of equal length ; the fifth some- 

 what longer than broad. Meso- and meta-thorax of equal length with 

 the petiolar area distinct, its basal costa truncate and centrally depressed ; 

 apophyses strong. Abdomen densely punctate and pubescent on the 

 three basal segments, more diffusely towards the anus ; first segment 

 with no prominent spiracles ; petiole slightly, post-petiole more strongly 

 explanate, but not very broad apically ; terebra as long as the basal segment. 



Head black, with the palpi flavous and mandibles black. Antennae 

 piceous, with the three or four basal joints red. Thorax entirely clear red. 

 Abdomen black, with the first segment entirely and the base and sides 

 of the second red ; terebra with the sheaths testaceous, apically piceous. 

 Legs either entirely red-yellow with only the last tarsal joint darker, or 

 with some, or all, of the tibiae infuscate at base and apex. Length, 3 mm. 



Bridgman introduced this species as British (Trans. Ent. See. 1881, 

 p. 155) on the strength of a specimen taken at Mickleham, in October, 

 1880 (E.M.M. 1 88 1, p. 261), and adds that the legs are coloured as in the 

 form last described above. He subsequently found it at Household 

 near Norwich ; and Bignell has captured it at Bickleigh and Exeter early 

 in September. I possess a single specimen found by Rev. T. A. Marshall 

 at Cornworthy. 



25. analis, Forst. 



Pezoinachits analis, Fiirst. Wiegm. Arch. 1850, p. 170, 9 ; Thoms. O. E. loio, i ? ;

$ . Frons alutaceous, dull ; lower face broad ; cheeks smooth ; genal 

 costa almost continuous, sulcus deep ; mandibles scarcely tuberculate at 

 base ; clypeus raised in front, its apex rounded ; vertex broad and deeply 

 emarginate. Antennae rather short ; first joint of flagellum about equal 

 to second and scarcely one and-a-half times as long as the scape ; fifth 

 longer than wide. Meso- about as long as the meta-thorax ; scutellum 

 indicated ; petiolar area almost vertical, its basal costa sharply defined. 

 Abdomen densely pubescent on the first three segments, more diffusely 

 towards the apex ; first segment moderately broad, its spiracles not pro- 

 jecting ; terebra about as long as the first segment. 



Head black. Antennae and thorax red. Abdomen red, with apex of 

 the fourth segment and whole of the following piceous or black. Legs 

 entirely red, last tarsal joint faintly brown.
