Campopkx'] BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 71 



intercepted lower, the scutelluni dull and very closely punctate, legs red 

 with all the coxae, hind trochanters and their femora black with only 

 apices of latter usually red, the abdomen with the second segment 

 laterally and apically, as well as the third and fourth entirely and two 

 following- laterally red, of which the third and fourth are discally black. 

 Length, i6 mm. 



A rare species and ai)parentlv noticed only in Northern (lermany. The 

 first British example was bred from Trachea pinipcrda by Norgate (Tr. 

 Ent. Soc. 1886, p. 34+). I possess a single female taken in the Hastings 

 district of Sussex, named by Rridgman, and kindly given me by Rev. E.N. 

 Bloomfield ; and have seen another captured by Tonge, in coll. Lyle, at 

 Tilgate Forest.

Head with the frons centrally carinate, but not imi)ressod, above the 

 antennae ; three apical joints of maxillary palpi fulvous. Thorax with the 

 metanotal impression not very deep ; metapleural areae coarsely punctate, 

 with the interstices alutaceous ; niternal dentii)aral carinae somewhat 

 distinct. Scutellum subdeplanate, coarsely and strongly punctate, a little 

 narrowed towards its apex. Abdomen black with the third and fourth 

 segments entirely, the second apically and laterally, rufescent flavous ; 

 fourth apically subinfuscate, and the third with black lateral line to its 

 centre ; lateral petiolar foveae sulciformly prolonged to postpetiolar apex; 

 terebra apically fulvous. Legs fulvous with coxae, trochanters, base of 

 intermediate and whole of hind femora black ; hind tibiae apically 

 piceous. Wings with tegulae pale; areolet sessile, high and emitting the 

 broadly fenestrate recurrent nervure nearly from its centre. Length, 

 I i-iO mm. 



The female was described from (lermany, and the male from Borgholm 

 in the Baltic Lsle of Oland. It is \ery rarr ox oxtMiookcd ; 1 have 

 specimens of both sexes that 1 am unable to ascribe to any other species, 

 though here they do not entirely coincide with the description since the 

 frons is not " linea media elevata instructa," but somewhat indefinitely 

 carinate. The single male was captured at Felden in Herts b\- the late 

 Mr. Albert Piffard ; three females were found in the New l-'orest by .Miss 

 Chawner; and on 13th June, 1896, 1 took another female in the Bentley 

 Woods near Ipswich.
