180 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. [Angitia 



3. annulicrus, Thoius. 



Campoplex dispar, Grav. I.E. iii. 484, <? (?). Aiiiiitia annulicrus, Thorns. 

 O.E. xi. 1887,1155, c? ? . 



A black and extremely slender species with the mandibles except 

 apically, palpi, centre and extreme base of hind tibiae, apices of anterior 

 coxae, their trochanters entirely, sometimes in 9 and always in ^ the 

 hind trochanterellus, stramineous ; remainder of legs fulvous with coxae 

 except part of anterior black, and marks at apex and before base of hind 

 tibiae infuscate ; hind tarsi distinctly pale, with only apices of their 

 joints slightly infuscate ; front coxae of S entirely stramineous. Head 

 slightly constricted behind the eyes ; abdomen much longer than head 

 and thorax, with terebra as long as basal segment. Length, 4-5 mm. 



It is like A. parvula in the colouration of the hind tibiae, but differs in 

 its pale anterior coxae, immaculate hind femora and mainly testaceous 

 hind tarsi, in the elongate abdomen, and posteriorly narrower head. It 

 is a much more fragile and slender species than A. coleophomrum, with 

 hind tibiae bicoloured. 



It was originally described from Palsjo in Sweden and has not since 

 been noticed. I took a female in the Bentley Woods on 4th August, 

 1899 ; Mr. Bankes has been so good as to present me with three males and 

 a couple of females (only one of which has the hind trochanterellus pale), 

 bred together, with a female of the Braconid Agathts brevistiis, Nees, from 

 Coleophora albitarsella, Zell., between i8th June and 27th August, IQ04, 

 in the Isle of Portland. He bred a second batch of three males and a 

 female during July, 1Q04, from the same host, the larvae of which were 

 collected on 7th of the preceding May in the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. I 

 place Gravenhorst's compound species as a doubtful synonym here, 

 simply because a pair of A. annulicrus was so named with no query in 

 Dr. Capron's collection ; and because both sexes are doubtfully recorded, 

 under the genus Limmria (Entom. 1884, p. 70), as ria\'ing been bred by 

 Fletcher of Worthing from both Coleophora alhilarstlhi and C. gniislaeco- 

 lella: pretty plainly proving that the present is the species formerly known 

 under that name, at least in England. 



4. coleophorarum, Ratz. 



Campoplex coleophorarum , Ratz. Ichn. d. Forst. iii. 90 (?). Angitia colco- 

 hhorarutn. Thorns. O.E. xi. 1155, <? ? . 



A black species with the antennal scape beneath and legs fulvous; hind 

 coxae alone black ; terebra half length of abdomen and the somewhat 

 broad areolet nearly sessile. It is the only species with elongate thorax 

 and cylindrical, apically strongly excised abdomen that has the terebra 

 half as long as the last, the legs fulvous with hind tibiae in)maculate and 

 their coxae alone black. I'he metathorax is extremely finely shagreened, 

 with no trace of costulae ; the somewhat narrow areolet emits the recur- 

 rent nervure but shortly before its apex ; and the legs are very slender. 

 Length, 5 mm. 



Ratzeburg's species, bred by Reissig from Cohvphora-^^L^c'w^ and /.i/ho- 

 collclis svringt'l/a, seems to be compound, and Lliomson must have been
