Chorinaeus | BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 17 

species. Taken in June, near London, and in Salop (Stephens) ; common 
in Norfolk and bred by Atmore at King’s Lynn from Zorfrix decretana 
(Bridgman) ; Walkham Valley, Devon, in early June (Bignell); Harting 
in Sussex, in August, and three at Blackheath in June, 1899 (Beaumont) ; 
Shirley (Champion) and Shere, in Surrey (Capron); Wimbledon in May 
(Stenton); Guestling, near Hastings (Bloomfield); Felden in Herts 
(Piffard) ; bred from a birch branch, on z1st May, at Bristol (Char- 
bonnier); bred at Timworth in West Suffolk in 1909 (Col. Nurse). It 
has occurred to me upon sallow, the flowers of Heracleum sphondylium, 
etc., from the 6th of June to the middle of September at Burgh Castle, 
Tuddenham Fen, on the coast at Covehithe and Walberswick in Suffolk, 
and at Philips’ Hill at Lyndhurst in the New Forest; but I know nothing 
further respecting its economy. Both this and the next species are said 
by J. T. Schreiner (Trd. b. Ent. 1907, p. 15) to prey upon H/yponomeuta 
malinella in Russia; and I have a female bred from Nofhris Durdhamella 
by C. G. Barrett in Britain.

A black species with the legs flavous-marked, the antennae short and 
clypeus subdiscreted. Length, 5—6 mm. 

Gravenhorst only knew two females, which he regarded as probably 
males, and thought this species hardly more than a variety of the last. 
But Thomson (/oc. c?#.) points out that, although the size, outline and 
antennal structure are the same, the legs are darker, the facial flavescence 
extends only to slightly above the scrobes, the front coxae are black and
