80 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. {Campoplex 



{I.e. 1880, p. 68); Eedle raised it with some doubt from Thccla hehilae 

 {I.e. 1883, p. 65) ; and I have seen a male which I can ascribe to no other 

 species, bred by G. W. Mason from Eupilhccia oblongata at Barton-on- 

 H umber.

 1872, p. 39; Bridg. -Fitch, Entom. 1885, p. 16, <? ? . 



Black with an abdominal cincture and part of legs red, the abdomen 

 nitidulous and a little pubescent. Abdomen with the second segment 

 apically and laterally, the third entirely, and the fourth except discally, 

 red. Legs rufesccnt flavous with the coxae trochanters, intermediate 

 femora to beyond their centre and hind ones entirely, black ; anterior 

 tarsi with base and apex of hind tibiae piceous. Length, 10-12 mm. 



Of the size of C. pugillator but with the mesopleurae shining, less 

 coarsely punctate, and speculum glittering, the stigma flavescent, areolet 

 large and broad, emitting the recurrent nervure far before its centre, 

 abdomen strongly nitidulous with glymmae of basal segment large and 

 deeply impressed, and the metathoracic excavation apically transrugose. 

 Legs of (5 with less red coloration, and the abdomen less shining, 



Stockholm, Gothland, uncommon in Sweden (Holmgr.). Porritt first 

 took it in Britain at Doncaster in May, 1884 {ef. Tr. Ent. Soc. 1886, 

 P- 345) ; but it is not rare with us, and 1 have examples from the New 

 Forest (Miss Chawner), Lynmouth in Sept. (Charbonnier), bred from a 

 Lepidopferous larva in Yorks in May, 1891 (Porritt), Guestling in 1890 

 (Bloomfield), and Sherwood Poorest in the middle of June, 1903 (Tomlin). 

 It has occurred to me in the Queens' Bower and Wilverley Inclosure in 

 the New Forest, where Lyle has bred it from Cahcra pusaria, as well as in 

 Stanstead Wood in Suffolk on 30th May, 1898, by sweeping herbage.

A black species with the mouth, tegulae, centre of abdomen and part

 concolorous ; lateral petiolar foveae small but distinct ; terebra somewhat 

 short, with its valvulae narrow and apically hardly paler. Legs fulvous 

 with the coxae, trochanters, intermediate femora except apically and the 

 hind ones entirely, black ; hind tarsi, with base and apex of their tibiae, 

 piceous ; claws short and a little pectinate. Wings with the stigma
