212 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. \_Amlasla 



the defunct host-larva, Abinger Hammer in August, 1900 (Butler), 

 Nunton in Wilts (Marshall), Deal in 1907 (Donisthorpc), Felden in June 

 (Piftard), Greenings in July (Saunders), and on Hcraclaim sphondylium 

 flowers in the middle of July, 1899, at Barham Oak Wood (Sparke) ; I 

 have not often met with it at Calbourne in the Isle of Wight and in 

 Suffolk on Angelica sylvcstris in Finborough Park.

IJmncria Barrcffii, Bridg. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 158, pi. viii, fig. 14; 

 Bridg. -Fitch, Entom. 1885, p. 205, c? ¥ . L. (Anilasta) tuccrii, Bridg. Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. 1889, p. 429, <? ? . Anilasta Barretti, Thorns. O.E. xi. 1171, i ? . 



Black with the second and third segments of the dull and pubescent 

 abdomen only laterally red, terebra as long as postpetiole, and seventh 

 9 segment incised; femora fulvous ; anterior trochanters and hind tro- 

 chanterellus and their tibiae white, hind tibiae apically black ; meso- 

 pleurae with the speculum dull ; tegulae and underside of scape white, 

 ventral plica not pale. Length, 5-6 mm. 



Difiers from the last in its more sparsely red-marked abdomen, pale 

 scape and dull speculum. 



Both sexes were originally bred by the late Mr. C. G. Barrett from 

 Oxypiilns tcucrii in Britain, and Thomson found the species rarely at 

 llstorp in Sweden. I possess co-types (and have examined the type at 

 Norwich) of both sexes of Z. teucriixw Dr. Capron's collection and, since 

 I can detect no distinction from the present species, I am led to synony- 

 mise that name, the types of which were raised by Bignell in Devon and 

 Fletcher also from Pterophorus tencrii; "its transformation takes place in 

 the inflated skin of that larva, or it makes but a very slight transparent 

 cocoon within it." Its author subsequently captured it at F^arlham in 

 July and August ; Wainwright has sent it me from West Runton in Nor- 

 folk in August; I have both sexes, bred from the above host-larva when 

 in its penultimate skin by Chapman at Reigate on 3rd and loth July, 

 1899; and on 17th July, 1902, "from the pupa" of a larva of this species, 

 taken at Kinner Edge on the 5th of the preceding month by Carleton 

 Rea of Worcester.

Black with the centre of the abdomen broadly, femora and tibiae red, 

 the hind tibiae ba.sally and apically with their tarsi black ; terebra hardly 

 extending beyond the anus, second segment subquadrate ; tegulae, at 

 least in 9 , black ; mesopleural .speculum dull ; ventral plica and scape 

 not pale. Length, 6-7 mm. 



Our only species with black tegulae and centrally red abdomen. 

 Holmgren considered it very like A. notaia, but more slender with the 

 abdominal and metathoracic sculpture different. 



Widely distributed but not common on the Continent in July and 

 August, and said by Gaulle to have been raised from Larentia lucfuala.
