204 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. lAngi/ia 



A. cxairola/a has the mesoplcurae distinctly and coarsely punctate with 

 the mesonotum both punctate and coarsely reticulate, especially in the (J; 

 A. rc/iculaf(7, on the contrary, has the mesopleurae bearing hardly visible 

 indications of punctures and the mesonotum simply reticulate with no 

 punctures. Antennae of J unusually elongate. Length, 6 mm. 



Both sexes were bred by Fletcher of Worthing from Tortrix larvae, 

 found on the flowers of Conius in 1884. I possess a male with impunc- 

 tate mesonotum, flavous legs and black hind coxae, taken by Mr. E. A. 

 J3utler early in August, igoo, at Abinger Hammer in Surrey.

A black species and very dull, with legs stramineous and areolet want- 

 ing. Head with the vertex distinctly narrow; mandibles and pmlpi 

 whitish. Antennae slender and black, with scape fulvous or stramineous 

 beneath. I'horax very dull and gibbulous ; metathorax finely sculptured 

 with carinae fine, areola longer than broad, apically obsoletely complete 

 and widest before its centre, with costulae sub-entire. Abdomen black 

 and in $ compressed from the subquadrate third segment ; postpetiole 

 subparallel-sided, second segment a fourth longer than broad ; terebra 

 reflexed and not extending beyond anus. Legs stramineous, with hind 

 ones of 9 fulvous ; all the trochanters, and apices of anterior coxae 

 whitish ; hind, and base of anterior, coxae black ; hind tibiae and tarsi 

 flavous, with apices of latter hardly infuscate. Stigma luteous, tegulae 

 flavous; areolet w^anting. Length, 6 mm. 9 only. 



This and the two preceding species differ from A. intcrrupta in lacking 

 all trace of areolet and in having the hind tibiae unicolorous; from the re- 

 mainder of this genus in Britain, these three are distinct in their gibbu- 

 lous thorax, with dull or barely shining speculum, and usually wanting 

 metanotal costulae, in the seventh 9 segment not being excised and in 

 their elongate hind calcaria, of which the inner is longer than half the 

 metatarsus. 



It was bred by Bignell from Nola alhiilalis, evidently not in Devon, 

 since it is not included in his county list, though recorded at Entom. 

 1 88 1, p. 140. It has not been yet noticed on the Continent and must 

 be very rare with us, for it has not again been mentioned ; I am fortunate 

 in possessing two co-types in Dr. Ceipron's collection together with the 

 larval skins whence they emerged, both through a subcircular hole in the 

 anal dorsum; Bridgman says "this species, contrary to the general habits 

 of this genus \_Lii}me7-ia\, does not spin a cocoon, but emerges from the 

 long-haired, pale-coloured larva of its host."

A black species with the head but little constricted posteriorly and face 

 narrower than frons ; palpi and centre of mandibles flavidous. JMetanotum 

 with five complete areae, of which the areola is rarely apically incomplete.
