NOTES ON DOUBTFULLY BRITISH SPECIES, 



ETC. 



From the New Forest I have received a c? Cratichneumoti with white- 

 banded antennae, which I am strongly of opinion is referable to IcJineumon 

 paIli\di'\tarsiSy'Y\iO'a\'s,. Ann. Soc. Fr. 1887, p. 11; O. E. xviii. 1949. From 

 C. nigritarius it is said to differ in the smaller and sometimes wanting 

 tibial band, pale hind tarsi, finer mesonotal sculpture and shorter areola; 

 the $ has but a narrow antennal band, the thyridii and gastrocaeli smaller, 

 and all the femora and tibiae fulvous, with apices of the hind ones hardly 

 darker ; the $ has the coxal scopulae smaller, all the tarsi and tibiae pale, 

 terebra longer, and the seventh segment with a small, broad, dull tes- 

 taceous mark. It is recorded from Swedish pine woods, and subsequently 

 from Lapland. 



BarichneiDiion ridibundus. — I note that Herr Reissig is said to have 

 bred IcJineumon hassicus from Cryptorhynchus lapatlii at Darmstadt, but a 

 great deal more proof is needed before any reliance can be placed upon 

 the records q[ TCiV^ Ichneumoninae preying upon Cokoptera ; and I certainly 

 incline to the belief that the host mentioned at p. 248 was more probably 

 lepidopterous. Both sexes of Barichnetunon derogator have been bred 

 from Depressaria herachana by Dr. R. T. Cassal. 



The Rev. T. A. Marshall, in the interleaved copy he used of his 1872 

 Catalogue, has inserted Ichneiimon memorator, Wesm. (referred to at p. 121) 

 as having occurred in Britain ; this was probable, since it is found in 

 Belgium, Holstein, Sweden and Lapland. Thomson (Ann. Soc. Fr. 1887, 

 p. 10) says it is very closely allied to /. latrator and /. siilxjuadratiis, but 

 that the $ differs in its immaculate hind tibiae, sub-attenuate flagellum, 

 buccate cheeks, discreted clypeus, shining metathorax, and that the S has 

 the head black with the facial orbits rarely pale-marked, the antennae 

 longer and infuscate beneath, tegulae and hind femora black with base of 

 latter red and the areola well defined. 



In his Catalogus Hym. Europae (1867), Kirchner gives Ichneumon 

 Panzerii as having been described from England by Stephens, I have 

 heard of no such species, though Amblyteles Faftzeri, Wesm., which is 

 correctly iaiserted in the latter genus from Brussels, was recorded hence by 

 Desvignes in 1856. 



Eiirylabus intrepidiis is noted as being a good species in Marshall's 

 MS. ; distinct from E. larvatus and not yet found in Britain. 



Mr, Piffard at Felden and I at Foxhall have taken a Fkaeogenes which 

 is very like F. socius, Holmgr. Mr. Dalglish has sent me from Scotland 

 another species not included in our list ; this appears to be F. niacilentus, 

 Wesm., one of the kinds with mutic coxae, and it has occurred to me at 

 Rushford in Suffolk, and in moss during the winter at Ipswich ; I cannot.
