248 BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. [ Luryproctus 

at Knowle, near Birmingham (W. Ellis); from the London District (ex 
coll. J. A. Clark); and from Shere (Capron). It was first bred here by 
Foxcroft from cocoons of 7° ducorum in Wales.

Euryproctus minutus, Bridg. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1886, p. 358. ¢. 
A small black species with abdomen partly red, face and front coxae 
flavous. Head transverse, slightly broader than thorax, not constricted 
posteriorly ; mouth, cheeks, and except a central line, face flavous. 
Antennae as long as body. Thorax punctate with a dot before and line 
beneath radices, with mesopleural sutures, flavous; notauli distinct, 
extending beyond mesonotal centre; metanotum finely rugose, with five 
distinct areae and costulae entire; areola basally convergent, apically in- 
complete and continuous with petiolar area. Abdomen slightly longer 
than head and thorax, red with the first segment black, a discal mark on 
second with more or less of fourth and whole of remainder, except pale 
apex, nigrescent ; basal segment petiolate and not discally sulcate, with 
distinct spiracles a little before its centre; petiole parallel-sided, twice 
and a half longer than broad; postpetiole apically explanate and thrice 
broader apically than basally, with its apical breadth hardly half that of 
its total length. Legs normal and red, with intermediate femora darker 
below; front coxae and most of their trochanters flavous; hind legs 
black with tibiae, except apically, red. Wings with tegulae flavous, 
stigma infuscate; areolet wanting, radius apically nearly straight; 
nervellus intercepted at or but slightly below centre. Length,5 mm. ¢ 
only. 
Evidently very closely allied to £. nofatus, though with the nervellus 
intercepted but slightly below its centre, the basal segment with petiole 
parallel-sided and no discal sulcus, the costulae entire and both face and 
thorax pale-marked. Bridgman’s variety ¢ appears distinct to me. 
Two males were captured by its author in May, 1882, at Brundall near 
Norwich ; they are doubtless preserved in his collection at the Norwich 
Castle Museum.

A shining, punctulate species, with hind tibiae mainly white and 
abdomen more or less broadly red centrally. Head somewhat con- 
stricted posteriorly; mouth, clypeus and, except a black line connecting 
it with clypeus, face whitish; clypeus apically broadly rounded, hardly 
margined and basally subdiscreted; cheeks black and not buccate. 
Antennae filiform, as long as body and more slender in ¢; scape whitish 
beneath ; five or more basal flagellar joints whitish-testaceous, becoming 
apically darker. Thorax white-dotted below radices ; mesonotum convex 
with indistinct notauli, pleurae nitidulous; metathorax subrugulose with 
areola wanting or very incomplete, petiolar area smooth and entire. 
Abdomen nitidulous, apically explanate in g and subcompressed in 9, 
black; g with second segment except two discal dots, third entirely and
