BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 



in 1720,. plate xxvii., emerging from its 

 own cocoon, bred from Hadciia pisi, in 

 England. 



Note 52 



I'fankuch finds, upon examining Gra- 

 venhorst's types, that Exochiis ciirvator, 

 Fab., is synonymous with Thiclistvs 

 SPiR.vcfLARis, Thorns., which must be 

 sunk. 



Note 53 



Chorinaeus asper, Grav., proves 

 upon examination by the same excellent 

 critic (Deut. Ent. Zeit., 1913, p. 180) to 

 be identical with Orthoccntnis dis- 

 color, Hlgr. ct Thorns. (O.E. 2425) ; 

 this is the specimen captured by Hope 

 in Shropshire before 18'29. Cliorinaciis 

 talpa, Hal., is consequently our only 

 small species of that genus.

Ent. V, Agric. Canada, 1912, p. 26.— 

 This is the species, that I at first 

 thought might be — I was most careful 

 not to state actually was — M. aiilicus, 

 so commonly bred from the sawfly Hol- 

 cocnciiic HricJisoni, Htg., both in 

 Cumberland and Ottawa {cf. Ichn. Brit, 

 iv. 157, footnote). The copy of the 

 description that I sent for the Transac- 

 tions to the Entomological Society was 

 not deemed worthy of publication. 



Note 55 



Only the first five species of Liiii 

 iicriuiii belong to that genus, as now 

 restricted ; the remaining six at present 

 simply stand there, for lack of a more 

 definitely ascertained position.
