0/norga'\ BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 155 



Very similar to the last species in size and colour, but the postpetiole 

 broader with its sides dilated, and the hind femora entirely black. The 

 J has not hitherto been described; it differs from the 9 <^nly sexually. 



Females on umbels durin<,^ May and June in (jermany (Grav.); Palsjo 

 in Sweden (Thoms.), Belgium in July and August (Tosq.), and France 

 ((iaulle). It was bred h\ Wheeler and Bridgman from Glyphipteiyx 

 Haworthana (Entom. iS8i, p. i+o); and respecting this emergence the 

 latter wrote to Fitch in August, 1SS3, "'I'here is little doubt but that 

 Limneriae are very difficult to determine, still this is a striking species: 

 I did breed a male of L. iumidula : 1 Xyaw a dozen specimens at least," 

 which are now in the Norwich Castle Museum. It is said by (}iraud to 

 ha\e been raised from such diverse hosts as Cohophora lancclln by Loew 

 and Olihrus bicolor by Heeger (Ann. Soc. Fr. 1877, p. 405). Bridgman, 

 who later thought it possibly a variety of O. aisaior, took one at Aylesham 

 in Norfolk and Bignell found it early in August at Bickleigh in Devon- 

 shire. It seems very rare on the wing and I have only once taken a 

 female, at Lyndhurst in the New Forest on loth July, 1909; Capron had 

 a dozen Surrey females, and Bankes has given me one male, bred on 

 13th July, 1 90 1, at Corfe Castle in Dorset from a larva of Cohophora 

 fusccdincl/a, Zell., and a dozen of both sexes between the ist and middle 

 of July, 1904, from the larval cases of C. soliiaruila, Zell., collected at 

 Wareham in Dorset on the 28th of the preceding April.

A black species with segmental apices and sides more broadly red, and 

 the legs white and red marked, finely alutaceous and dull, with whitish 

 pubescence. Head posteriorly constricted, with face strongly pubescent, 

 palpi except apically and mandibles stramineous. Antennae slender and 

 longer than head and thorax, with the scape rufescent flavous beneath. 

 Metathorax finely rugose with the areola apically entirely wanting, but 

 lateral areae discreted. Abdomen black with the second to seventh seg- 

 ments, and sometimes postpetiole, apically red ; third to seventh laterally 

 concolorous; often obsolete in (J; ventral plica stramineous ; basal seg- 

 ment as long as coxae and trochanters, with postpetiole convex, laterally 

 rounded and double breadth of petiole ; second segment a third longer 

 than its apical breadth, and the third subquadrate; terebra somewhat 

 longer than half abdomen. Anterior legs rufescent flavous with coxae 

 basally black, tibiae externally and trochanters citrinous ; hind coxae 

 and trochanters black, the red femora usually partly infuscate or nigres- 

 cent, tibiae whitish with a band before their base and their apices 

 nigrescent, as are also their tarsi with white base. Wings with stigma 

 piceous flavous and tegulae stramineous; areolet small and petiolate, 

 emitting recurrent nervure beyond its centre, the radial apically straight 

 and nervellus slightly geniculate below its centre. Length, 5-7 mm. 



The j)edal colouration is similar to that of O. cnsa/or, but the segments 

 are also apically pale on the disc, the areola is distinctly narrower and 

 the (J abdomen has the rufescent colour often obsolete.
