(Continued from p. 87.) 
A 1. Rhogas cruentus, Nees. 
A very broadly distributed species from France, through 
Hungary and Germany to Russia and Sweden. Not before 
noticed in Britain: I owe a single female to the generosity of 
Mr. O. E. Janson, who captured it on August 30th, 1901, at 
Horsey Mere, in the Norfolk Broads. 
2. Rhogas dissector, Nees. 
I possess only the two Scots females recorded by me from 
Angelica flowers at Banchory on July 30th and August 6th 
(Ent. Mo. Mag., 1910, p. 37), when they were captured by 
Ernest A. Elliott, F.Z.S. Champion has taken it at Aviemore. 
It is widespread in Northern Kurope, extending from Hungary 
to Lapland and Sweden. Marshall has entered, in his copy of 
the ‘ Monograph of British Braconide’ which I possess: ‘‘ N.B. 
R. dissector, Ns., is not the sp. bred by Brischke from A. euphor- 
bie, F., but R. rugulosus, Ns., which is not British.” 
3. Rhogas reticulator, Nees. 
One of the two British species I do not possess: Marshall in 
1885 had seen neither this nor the last species. It is said to 
have been captured near Belfast by Haliday, and in Monk's 
Wood, near Cambridge, by Dale. Bignell has, however, con- 
firmed the species as indigenous, for he says (Kntom., 1883, 
p. 69): ‘‘ Rhogas reticulator, Nees, infests the larva of Odonestis 
potatoria before the fourth moult, and emerges in its imago state 
from its victim. The infested larva remains on its food-plant, 
and has the appearance of preparing to moult, but it gradually 
shrinks and appears to dry up; the imago [of the parasite, 
ultimately making its appearance through the back of the 
wretched caterpillar.” I do not know how Marshall overlooked 
this record; and I suspect from Bignell’s remarks upon &. geni- 
culator (Trans. Devon. Assoc., 1901, p. 263) that that species was 
mistaken for the present. 
4. Rhogas irregularis, Wesm. 
By no means a rare species, though I have infrequently met 
with it myself and always in the most marshy situations, such
