90 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. \_Ca7np0plex 



expallidata (Bridg. Tr. Norf. Soc. 1894, p. 6ig). Certainly uncommon ; 

 Beaumont took it at Kilmore in Ireland in the middle of August, 1898 ; 

 Tuck on 25th August, 1900, at Benacre Broad in Suffolk, where I have 

 seen it flying about a whitethorn hedge at Mildenhall in the middle of 

 June, 1899, at South Elmham in September, and beneath oaks at Wilver- 

 ley in the New Forest. Dr. R. T. Cassal has given me a female bred 

 from Eupithccia oblongata during 1901 at Medge Hall, Doncaster.

Head posteriorly constricted ; genal costa sinuately continuous in front ; 

 mandibles obsoletely red-marked, weak and apically narrowed; palpi cas- 

 taneous. Antennae not very long, with their apices not attenuate. Thorax 

 with pronotum shining and striolate below on either side ; mesopleurae 

 densely punctate, alutaceous and quite dull ; mesosternal acetabulae 

 simple, not bilobed ; metathorax not deplanate, with the areae obsolete 

 or entirely wanting, its central impression alutaceous to centre and thence 

 slightly transrugose ; .spiracles somewhat short, suboval. Abdomen black 

 with the second segment apically above, third entirely and part of the 

 fourth red ; ventral plica basal ly infuscate ; basal segment with lateral 

 foveae ; terebra but shortly exserted, its valvulae not apically pale. Legs 

 fulvous with coxae, trochanters, base of front femora, the intermediate 

 except at apices and whole of hind ones, black ; hind tibiae centrally pale, 

 piceous broadly at both extremities. Wings with the tegulae nigrescent ; 

 areolet petiolate and emitting recurrent nervure beyond its centre ; radial 

 nervure emitted before centre of the castaneous stigma. Length, 5-7 mm. 



It is very similar in size and the structure of the whole body to 

 C. ohreptans, but the acetabulae are simple, the antennae a little longer 

 though not apically attenuate, the apical metathoracic sculpture is not 

 rugose and its central impression is broader and more indefinite, the 

 third segment is entirely and the fourth mainly or hardly with only 

 extreme apex of second red, the areolet is oblique but not sessile, the 

 legs more or less red or flavous marked but the hind femora are always 

 black. The short terebra and dark tegulae distinguish it from C. mono- 

 zomis. 



Norway, Sweden and probably all Scandinavia (Holmgr.), and central 

 Europe (Thoms.). Bred at King's Lynn in Norfolk from Eupithccia 

 pidchcllata by Atmore (Bridg.) ; from T/iccta hctuiac by Eedle (Enlom. 

 1885, p. 20) ; and captured on 8th June at Bickleigh in Devon (Bignell). 

 I have found this species only in the New Forest during June and July, at 

 Matley Bog, Wilverley Inclosure and in a Lyndhurst garden. A male in 

 my collection is one of "three bred from larvae of Oecopliora alhimaculclla 

 in Shetland, 1902," by J. A. Clark.
