Erigorgus\ BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 237 



There are said to be two females in Fitch's collection, one of which 

 emerged from Kuchilia jiuobocac ; I have another from Cluswick, captured 

 by Sich about 1883 and a broken specimen from (kicstling, taken by 

 Bloomfield in 1S80. Elsewhere it is known onlv from (iermanv.

Head broad with temples baccate; face apically constricted and, with 

 palpi, mandibles, the centrally acuminate clypeus and apices of the broad 

 cheeks, flavous; frons rugose, with an acute central carina; temples deep 

 red. Antennae black, with scape tiavidous beneath ; nearly as long as 

 body, and in V but little shorter. Thorax immaculate black ; meso- 

 notum sparsely punctate and nitidulous; mesopleurae distinctly and con- 

 fluently punctate, not rugose and speculum not smooth ; metathorax 

 reticulate-rugose, with strong central sulcus. Scutellum black, deplanate, 

 laterally carinate and centrally subimpressed. Abdomen red with first 

 segment broadly towards its base, disc of second and anus from fifth or 

 sixth segment, black ; terebra black and double length of anal breadth. 

 Legs red with anterior tibiae and tarsi Havidous, coxae and trochanters ()f 

 (^ concolorous and of $ black with trochanters red ; hind legs of 9 

 mainly black, of J with coxae and trochanters black, the latter apically 

 flavidous, their femora discally and tibiae ai)ically nigrescent; tarsi not 

 incrassate. Wings with stigma piceous-flavous; tegulae nigrescent, partly 

 dull flavous; parallel nervure emitted above centre of brachial cell ; niT- 

 vellus subcentrally intercepted. Length, 15-18 mm. 



The mesopleurae of my 9 9 ar^ iiot strongly and rugosely punctate, 

 wherein alone they differ from Dr. Brauns' description. I'he species is 

 distinct in its black scutellum and elongate antennae. 



The male, described from Prussia, is said to have been bred from Arc- 

 iina cacsaica ; Brauns tells us the female was raised from Phalcra bucephala 

 by INIocsary at Budapest. But its Continental distribution is uncertain. 

 It has not hitherto been noted in Britain, possibly mixed with B. insidia- 

 tor; but I possess examples from Shere (Capron), a male bred by Mrs. 

 Holmes from 7'nic/uii pinipcrda dLiSawenodik?, in Kent during ic)o8; and 

 from the New Forest (Miss Chawner), where females occurred to me on 

 heather and rushes near pine woods at Park Hill and Matley Bog on 8th 

 and 13th August, 1901 ; males were taken on loth of the preceding 

 month also flying slowly and low, along with Euthcmoiiia russuhi, L., 

 close over heather in a pine wood at Oxshott. ,
