202 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. [Angiha 



1880, p. 164), which has not been yet relegated to the present genus and 

 is not known to be British. 



It was described from examples of both sexes, bred by C. J. Boden and 

 W. Fletcher from Choreutcs sciniilluhma in Britain ; elsewhere Thomson 

 alone has found it at Borringe in Sweden. I have a pair, probably co- 

 types, in Capron's collection from Surrey; but the species is rare with us 

 and I possess only two males, captured by Miss Chawner in the New 

 Forest and by Bignell at Bickleigh in August, 1883 ; with a single male, 

 taken by W. H. Tuck on the 3rd of October, 1900, at Bungay in Suffolk, 

 probably upon the flowers of wild carrot.

A black species with the anterior legs red, their coxae apically and 

 trochanters whitish ; hind legs black with the femora entirely red, and 

 both the centre of tibiae broadly and whole calcaria white ; terebra 

 exactly as long as basal segment or fully a third of the abdomen, nearly 

 straight ; antennae of both sexes slender, exactly filiform and subelongate. 

 Length, 5 mm. 



This species has precisely the same facies and structure as A. exareolata, 

 though with the petiolate areolet entire and the black hind tibiae broadly 

 stramineous centrally; from the three following species with gibbulous 

 thorax and elongate calcaria, this may be known by its distinct alar 

 areolet, somewhat narrow stigma, elongate apical radial abscissa, the 

 acute lower angle of the discoidal cell, oblique and petiolate areolet, 

 centrally broadly white hind tibiae with long calcaria, somewhat strongly 

 constricted vertex, and slightly narrow face, by the terebral length and 

 wanting metanotal costulae. 



A species of wide distribution, and in Sweden of average frequency 

 during the middle of August; F" ranee, Belgium in June and Holland in 

 July; Brischke bred both sexes from Scapula crafacgella in Prussia. It 

 was introduced as British by Fitch (Entom. 1884, p. 67) on specimens 

 raised by Elisha from Phthcochroa rugosana and Fletcher of Worthing 

 bred it at the same time {I.e. p. 70) from Eupaccilia udana. It is quite 

 common with us ; Lands End (Marquand), common in Norfolk and bred 

 from Pironca viaccana (Bridgman), captured at Exminster on 3rd Septem- 

 ber and bred from Tacnioawipa stahilis on 4th July (Bignell). I have 

 examples from Felden (Piffard), Nunton in Wilts (Marshall), Devonport 

 in June (de la Garde), a full series from Shere (Capron), and Shepton 

 Mallet in Somerset early in August (Charbonnier). Chapman has bred it 

 on 24th April from larvae of Mesophleps CorsiccUus feeding on Cisius at 

 Cannes; Bankes has raised both sexes in June, 1902 — with Pinipla vetitri- 

 cosa and Phytodiactus obscurus {cf. Ichn. Brit. iii. 247) — from larvae of 

 Laverna conturhatcUa, Hb., near Ashford in Kent ; and a dozen emerged 

 during the end of May and June, 1896, from Gclechia Sa7igiella near 

 Hesleden Dene, Co. Durham. The cocoon is dull, cylindrical and black 

 with a central white girdle, 5 mm. in length and ih, mm. in central 

 breadth, the whole covered with fine interwoven white strands, and 

 laterally spun upon the food-plant; the imago emerges through an
