196 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. lAngiiia 



body, with scape entirely black. Thorax cyUndrical ; metathorax with 

 strong costulac and areola, the latter entirely wanting apically. Abdo- 

 men cylindrical and immaculate black ; basal segment hardly as long as 

 hind coxae and trochanters ; postpetiole not short, laterally rounded ; 

 second segment longer than broad, third quadrate ; terebra as long as 

 half abdomen. Legs fulvous, with coxae and base of hind trochanters 

 black ; hind tibiae not paler red, occasionally infuscate or black at their 

 apices and before base. Stigma piceous-stramineous ; radix and tegulae 

 flavous; areolet oblique, irregular and emitting recurrent nervure f'om 

 its apical third ; apical radial abscissa hardly curved ; nervellus entire. 

 Length, 3^-5 mm. 



Agrees only with A. ccrophaga in its slender and filiform flagellum ; it 

 is very similar to A. chrysosticta but is smaller, more slender, with the 

 second segment and postpetiole nearly half as long again as broad, the 

 costulae distinct and scape black. Thomson's statement that the "third" 

 segment is half as long again as broad is a misprint for second ; Mr. 

 Smits van Burgst has been good enough to send me a Dutch female of 

 A. tenuipcs, which agrees in every wav with one of the Freshwater females 

 given by Bridgman to Dr. Capron and labelled by him cylindrica, Brisch.; 

 its length is 4^ mm. 



Sweden, Prussia and one of the commonest species of the genus in 

 Thuringia. It was introduced as British by Bridgman (Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 1884, p. 428) "Bred by Mr. W. H.B. Fletcher from Gelechia inopcUa from 

 Freshwater, Isle of Wight, beginning of October, 1883" (repeated at 

 Entom. 1884, p. 70). Brundall in Norfolk (Bridg.). I have specimens 

 from Chatham in May (de la Garde), Greenings in June (Saunders), 

 Lyndhurst in July (Adams), Tostock (Tuck), Shere (Capron), Bishops 

 Teignton and" Cornworthy (Marshall); Sich bred it in 1907 from the 

 Veronica plume, Sfcnoptilia pterodactyla, at Chiswick ; Banks raised both 

 sexes early in July, igoi, from larvae of Lavcrna coniurbaiella, Hb., at 

 Ashford in Kent; males in the middle of May, 1899, from Aproaerena 

 "u'nclla, Bnks., near Brighton in Sussex ; both sexes on 5th-i4th July, 

 1 90 1 (with HcmHeles monozonins, Gx. — cf. Ichn. Brit. ii. 139) from Acro- 

 Irpia granilella, Tr., at Corfe Castle in Dorset; and Whittle found a 

 female had emerged on 21st May, 1902 (with an Apanicks on 25th July) 

 from cases oi Prontia hefulina, Zell., collected at Iiastwood in Essex. It 

 is a common species on the wing and I have captured it on flowers and 

 by sweeping, more usually during August, at Salisbury, in the New Forest, 

 Norfolk, Cambridge, P^ssex and Suffolk.

Black with the tibiae and somewhat stout femora fulvous ; hind tibiae 

 whitish with their apices and a mark before their base black ; calcaria 

 elongate. Length, 5-6 mm. 



This species is distinct in its short head with the V face slightly and 

 the vertex more strongly constricted, the very short cheeks; in the coarc-
