Angitia] BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 197 



transverse and costulae stout ; in the dull pubescent abdomen, which 

 sometimes has the third or also the second and fourth segments red- 

 marked ; in the apically straight radial nervure and somewhat narrow 

 stigma. It shares with A. macu/a/a-^ the excised seventh segment, elon- 

 gate flagellum, with tlavous coxae and underside of scape. It differs 

 from A. aiophaga in its elongate, stout and attenuate flagellum, though 

 agreeing in the excised seventh 9 segment and irregular areolet. 



Apparently uncommon in Britain, where I have seen only some dozen 

 examples, though on the Continent it is widely distributed and said to be 

 common; Silesia, (jennany, Sweden, France, Belgium in July and August, 

 and Holland in June. Hartig reared it from Giomcira fulva and both 

 Ratzeburg and Brischke record it from such Hyponomeiitae as H. malindla 

 and H. variabilis; Holmgren also gives Tineid hosts and Giraud species 

 of Deprcssaria, to which (iauUe adds PhiicUa maculipiunis and Tcphro- 

 dysiia linariata. It has not hitherto been bred in England, where Bridg- 

 man thought it not uncommon in Norfolk, and Bignell captured it at 

 Laira in Devon on i6th July. I have specimens taken by Piflard at 

 Felden and ?tlarshall at Botusfleming, Nunton and Bishop Teignton ; in 

 June, 1899, Chapman sent me a female which had emerged from a small 

 macrolepidopteron, found feeding on Aster tripoliiim at Leigh in Essex, 

 and on i9lh February, 1904, another emerged from Thcra jiinipcrata, sent 

 me by Cross. My own captures are distinctly meagre and extend from 

 14th June through July and August to 5th September, when the only 

 red-marked example 1 have seen occurred in Henstead marsh near 

 Lowestoft ; the others are from Tuddenham Fen, Wherstead on Hcra- 

 cleum, and Alderton on fennel flowers in Suflblk ; Wroxham Broad in 

 Norfolk, Burwell Fen in Cambs. on whitethorn blossom, and Wilverley 

 Inclosure in the New Forest.

A black species with the legs red-marked; the- hind tibiae^ \n\vc while 

 with a band before their base, and their apices more broadl), black ; 

 abdomen with the seventh V segment subexcised. Length, 4 nun. 



It is very similar to A. fnustralis in its pedal colouration, l)Ul llu- pale 

 markings are purer white, the terebra is nearly twice the length of post- 

 petiole and the anterior coxae are nearly totally pale. This and the next 

 two species difler from the last five in having the flagellum slender though 

 not filiform, the abdomen black with its ventral plica flavous or wliitish, 

 the terebra short, the seventh segment entire or at most subemarginate ;

Black, shining and subglabrous with the abdomen a liltle longer than terebra, petiole centrally 

 whitish, the following segments apically flavous, and the sixth emarginatc ; legs mainly flavous; 

 thorax with pleurae sn)ooth and costulae distinct. Length, 5 mm. cf unknown. 



I here mention this species because it figured as British in both Marshall's 1870 and 1872 cata- 

 logues. There are, of course, no subse(]ueTit indigenous records, for only two females appear to be 

 known, recorded by (iravenhorst in 1829 " I-'eminani unicam, circa I-'lorentiam captam, a Sanvitalc 

 ad me transinissit " and Thomson in 1887 " Professor Gasperini liar funnit denna art vid Spalato i 

 Dalmatien."
