100 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. [Saganh's 



dots." Not uncommon with us ; the Rev. C. D. Ash has <,aven me a male, 

 bred on ist July, igoo, from Selby Agrotis agathina ; I have swept the 

 same sex in the middle of May, 1902, at (josfield in Essex, and in the 

 middle of August, 1906, at Brandon in Suffolk ; the female flew in to light 

 after dark at Monk Soham House on 24th August, 191 1; and Capron 

 found both sexes in Surrey.

A black species with the abdomen and legs partly pale, the stigma in- 

 fuscate and the abdominal ventral plica dull stramineous. Length, 5 mm. 



Very similar to the preceding species, though at once recognised by 

 the colour of the ventral plica and the darker stigma, slightly shorter tere- 

 bra, elongate calcaria, shorter metanotal areola, slightly reflexed meso- 

 sternal acetabulae, red hind femora, the internally concolorous and ex- 

 ternally black tibiae, with their broad central white band, and the narrow 

 vertex. 



As widely distributed as .S'. annulata ; taken in garden near Breslau in 

 the middle of May, and in Silesia (Grav.) ; not uncommon in Scandinavia 

 in July, becoming rarer in Lapland; Austria, Prussia, Belgium, France. 

 It is said by Bridgman to be common in Norfolk; taken about Shere in 

 Surrey during the summer of 1S79 by Capron (Entom. 1880, p. 88) ; and 

 in the Isle of Man (Walker, I.e. 1872, p. 432). Bred by Bignell from 

 Cheimatolna bnimnfa, and on iith September from Hccatcra senna in 

 South Devon, by Cross from EuhoJia cervinaria, and Fletcher from Coleo- 

 phora therincUa (Entom. 1885, pp. 102-3). Bridg. -Fitch ascribe four 

 forms to the cocoon {I.e.): — i. Cylindrical, 3I x \\ lines, hard, pearly 

 white, semitransparent, without markings except a narrow opaque white 

 central band, surrounded by a few slight silky white hairs ; 2. Pale, 

 flavidous white, subopaque, without tnarkings (figured at Entom. 1884, 

 pi. ii. fig. 2); 3. Opaque white, with faint black zonal markings; 4. Deep 

 brown, rather rough, without markings, resembling the cocoon of S, ineisa, 

 but rather narrower and pah^-. I possess eleven in Capron's collection, 

 though I have not taken it myself; Cockayne sent me two live males on 

 30th June, 1905, and the female a week later, all bred out of Oporahia 

 diliitata at Rannoch.

A black species with the abdomen and legs partly pale; anterior coxae 

 fiavous, with their base black; apical abscissa of the radial nervure nearly 

 double length of the curved basal. Length, 6 mm.
