Campoplex] BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 77 



ation by R. C Bradk'V from Birniingham early in 1900, bred from Xaiit/iia 

 ctlrago, upon the strength of which I introduced it as British in my 1901 

 Paper read before the Knt. Soc. in ignorance of the above synonymy. A 

 female has been recently presented tome by K. C. Bedwell, who captured 

 it during )une, 190S, in Sherwood Forest; and there is an indigenous 

 female in the British Collection from Clifton's and a German one from 

 Ruthe's.

Head with the mandibles centrally, and in J i)alpi, flavous ; face 

 punctate and pubescent; frons reticulate and dull with a vertical carina; 

 and posteriorly suboblique. Antennae with basal flagellar joints not 

 discreted. Thoracic mesonotum finely punctate ; mesopleurae punctate, 

 with the interstices subreticulate and not dull; mesosternum with an 

 apical vertical transcarina; metanotum nitudulous and irregularly rugose, 

 with disc much smoother ; dentiparal areae determinate. Scutellum 

 punctate and only basally margined. Abdomen smooth and shining ; 

 postpetiole laterally rounded and broader than petiole ; second segment 

 apically, and the shorter and ventrally straight third fulvidous or castan- 

 eous, tlie base below of the laterally darker fourth concolorous; second 

 and third segments laterally black-lined ; terebra somewhat longer than 

 a third of first segment. Legs black with anterior, except basally and 

 basal half of intermediate femora, red or in ^ fJavidous; hind legs with 

 the knees (or in ^ apical half of femora) and centre of tibiae rufescent 

 or in (^ flavidous. Wings hyaline with areolet distinctly petiolate and 

 emitting recurrent nervure slightly before its centre ; stigma rufescent ; 

 tegulae fulvous, of V rarely black ; nervellus intercepted at its lower 

 fifth ; basal radial abscissa of hind wings half as long again as recurrent 

 nervure. Length, 10-19 mm. 



I possess a pair named by Bridgman, of which the male is a co-type 

 given by him to Dr. Capron, and from it I have been enabled to place 

 this species, the salient features of which in modern classification of the 

 genus are omitted from the long and rambling original description. 



"I have seen several specimens from Mr. Ilarwood.ot Colchester, who 

 could not give the host or the locality; also a female from Mr. Bignell, 

 taken in Devonshire" (Bridg. l.c.)\ the latter specimen was bred from an 

 unknown host on 24th May, but Lyle has raised it in the New Forest 

 from Boannia extersaria. Females in my collection were captured by 

 Pift'ard at Felden in Herts and by Bloomfield in 1889 at (Juestling in 

 Sussex. On 1 8th May, 1901, a male of the minimum size had emerged 

 from its own cylindrical, pale brown and somewhat smooth cocoon, which 

 Wigin took from the pupa of Taeniocampa sp. on 31st October, 1900, at 

 Methley near Leeds.
