Exochus | BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 37 

I do not know this species, which is not mentioned by Thomson and 
appears very like his 77vclistus pallipes, in which case his 7. nitifrons 
might be supposed to be 7. pallipes, Holmgr. Gravenhorst’s description 
contains no distinctive feature except the areolet “irregulari, oblique 
transversa longepetiolata,” which agrees admirably with 7. xz/cfrons, 
though the size is somewhat large. 
Stephens professes to have taken it near London in June, though his 
specimen is referable to Z. pallidipes ; and Bignell captured it at Bick- 
leigh in Devon on the roth of that month; but a female I found in the 
New Forest in May, 1895, determined as belonging to the present species 
by Rev. T. A. Marshall, is very certainly referable to . podagricus and 
has the areolet subsessile. It is said to have been bred from Vofhris 
verbascella by Brischke and TJortrix Rileyana by Grote.

A black species, with the antennae and legs mainly flavous ; hind legs 
black or nigrescent with the trochanters and tibiae, except apically, pale 
stramineous ; areolet petiolate and almost narrower than broad. Length, 
6—7 mm. 
The colouration of the antennae and hind legs is peculiar and at once 
renders this species distinct ; the coxae and usually the femora are black, 
the tibiae are whitish with their apices and calcaria abruptly deep 
black. Marshall regarded this species as 2. sgualidus, but it differs in its 
lack of costulae, etc. 
It has rarely been noticed, but is doubtless common throughout northern 
and central Europe. No doubt can be entertained, I think, respecting 
the previously unnoticed synonymy of Desvignes’ species, which Bridg- 
man (Trans. Norf. Soc. 1893, p. 628) doubtfully records as bred by 
Atmore at Kings Lynn in Norfolk from the Tortricid, Paedisca semi- 
Juscana. 1 have a dozen bred by C. G. Barrett and a good series from 
Botusfleming in Cornwall, Govilon, Manchester, Grovely Wood and 
Cheltenham (Marshall), Felden in Herts (Piffard), Shere in Surrey 
(whence Boheman’s species was introduced as British, Trans. Ent. Soc. 
1887, p. 374, on Thomson’s authority) ; and a large female bred by Big- 
nell in Devon on 15th July, 1897, from the accompanying pupa of Zortrixv 
viridana from which it had emerged by almost entirely removing the 
extreme capital apex in an irregular, jagged manner. ‘This species 
has occurred to me on bracken at Wilverly Inclosure in the New Forest 
in the middle of June, I found several in ‘Tuddenham Fen at the end of 
August, 1905, and on 25th September, 1902, secured two on the flowers 
of Angelica sylvestris at Foxhall, near Ipswich.

Triclistus longicalcar, Thoms. Deut. Ent. Zeit. 1887, p. 205, 2. 
Black with the legs flavous and the coxae basally nigrescent, the 
antennae and calcaria elongate, and the large areolet nearly rhomboidal, 
emitting the recurrent nervure from its centure. Length, 64 mm.
