262 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 



Plym Bridge in May ; Plymouth in July ; Exeter, Horrabridge and Bick- 

 leigh, in Devon, early in September (fjignell) ; common in Norfolk 

 (Bridgman) ; Maldon in Essex (Fitch) ; found at Hastings (Esam) ; Felden 

 in Herts. (Piffard) ; caught on carrot flowers at Tostock ; and two or 

 three in Finborough Park in Suffolk, probably on flowers o^ Atti^elica syl- 

 veslris, late in September (Tuck). I have taken it among the undergrowth 

 in Bentley Woods, in June ; in a market garden at Aldeburgh towards the 

 end of July ; and in the marshes at Bramford in Suffolk in early October. 



28. coryphaeus, JJ'esm. 



r/iaeoo-e;ies coiyphaeiis, Wesm. Nouv. Mem. Ac. Brux. 1844, p. 183, $, . P. versiitiis, 

 We.sm. hb. cit. p. 186, excl. 6 ; Brisch. Schr. Nat. Ges. Danz. 1878, n. 6, p. 55, 9 ; 

 Thorns. O. E. xv. 1847 ; l^erth. Ann. Soc. Fr. 1896, p. 375, <J ?. 



Head black ; frons strongly nitidulous, very finely and sparsely punctate; 

 palpi and mandibles of ? fulvous, of (^, as well as the clypeus, white. 

 Antennae fuscous ; red, with scape of $ white, beneath ; central band of 

 $ white. Thorax and scutellum black ; c? with white callosity before 

 radix. Abdomen black ; of $ with apical margin of second segment pale, 

 of third to fifth rufescent ; of ? with apex of first, whole of second, third, 

 and sometimes base of fourth, red ; sixth and seventh segments of ? 

 apically pale and post-petiole smooth. Anterior legs fulvous, with $ coxae 

 and trochanters white ; hind ones black, of $ with apex of coxae, tro- 

 chanters, centre of tibiae and base and apex of the tarsal joints, stra- 

 mineous, of ? with coxae in part, base of femora and centre of tibiae red, 

 their coxal tooth elongate. Tegulae and radix white or red ; stigma 

 piceous. Length, 7-8 mm. 



This species differs from the last-described in the head of both sexes 

 being shorter, with conformation of the vertex similar to that of P. plani- 

 frons, and the antennal scrobes large ; the ? has the hind coxal cristulae 

 terminating in a stout and acute tooth, no thoracic pale markings, the 

 fourth segment black or basally red ; the immaculate face and colour of its 

 hind legs will distinguish the male. 



There can be no doubt that this species must be known by its male 

 name. 



A female, which Bridgman (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1887, p. 363) believed to be 

 this species, was taken by Mr. G. C. Champion at xMickleham. It also 

 occurs in Belgium and Germany.
