162 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. {Tramsema 



oblong-quadrate and the second segment not transverse ; mesopleural 

 speculum dull and mctanotal carinae fine or obsolete ; stigma subinfus- 

 cate, face of 9 apically subconstricted, clypeus convex, the peristomium 

 small, thorax apically dull and punctate with no costae. Length, 6 mm. 



Differs from our other species in its straight terebra, dull mesopleurae 

 and more elongate postpetiole. 



Described from Germany, recorded from France, and Thomson says 

 his species ranges through north and central Europe ; there can, I think, 

 be no doubt respecting the synonymy, since the specimens found with us 

 have antecentral spiracles in the second segment. It was brought forward 

 as British by Bridgman (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1884, p. 428) on the strength of 

 five females, now in my collection, taken by Capron in the neighbourhood 

 of Shere and of others found by himself at Earlham in Norfolk. He 

 adds that the colour resembles that of OtJiorga diffor?)iis and, like it, it has 

 the nervellus geniculate ; the metathorax has little more areae than the 

 costulae connected by base of areola, forming a single transverse ridge ; tlie 

 third segment, though not the second, is transverse ; and the terebra 

 about half length of abdomen. Atmore has found it at Lynn in Norfolk 

 (Bridg.) and it has occurred at Bickleigh in Devon on ist July (Bignell). 

 [\\ Suffolk it is found upon the flowers of Heradcum sphondylium in July.

Black with the tegulae, mouth and legs red, trochanters stramineous, 

 coxae black and the anterior apically pale ; metathorax shining, sub- 

 glabrous with areola apically entire ; postpetiole quadrate, second segment 

 transverse and speculum shining. Length, 5-6 mm. 



Not uncommon in Sweden and through north and central Europe; 

 Brischke bred it in Prussia from larvae of Fcnusa piunila and a species of 

 Cryptocanipus. Both sexes of this species were taken by Bignell in 

 Devon (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1886, p. 350) at Longbridge near Plymouth on 

 25th August (Trans. Devon Assoc. 1898, p. 492).

Thorns. O.E. xi, 1887, 1139. 



Head cubical and generally white-jjilusf, with the vertex brOad and 

 not posteriorly constricted; eyes internally entire; cheeks buccate, some- 

 what long with the costa inflexed ; peristomium very broad ; clypeus apic- 

 ally subtruncate with small lateral foveae ; mandibles flavous, elongate 

 and stout, apically not angular, with the lower tooth the longer. Anten- 

 nal scape large and white beneath ; flagellum elongate and, especially in 

 9 , apically pale. Thorax cylindrical and white-pilose, with pronotal 

 epomiae wanting and very rarely striate ; metanotal costulae wanting ; 

 areola elongate, pentagonal and sometimes hardly indicated ; petiolar 

 area short. Abdomen subcylindrical and centrally nearly always more or 

 less broadly red ; basal segment laterally acute, with petiolar sulci nearly 

 always distinct ; postpetiole oblong and not broader than long, with
