62 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
which I erroneously stated (E. M. M. 1908, p. 269) to have been 
hitherto not bred, is said (André, xv. 1897, 80) to have been 
raised by Bignell, in Devon, from Coccyx strobilella, Linn. There 
are specimens of Bracon abscissor, first noted as indigenous by 
me (EK. M. M. 1906, p. 109), from Swanage, Nunton in Wilts, 
Cornworthy, Botusfleming, and Niton, in Isle of Wight; it is 
probably not rare. Of B. piger, Wesm., previously only noted 
from Belgium, there are examples from both Cornworthy, in 
Devonshire, and Nantes, in France. JB. intercessor is not re- 
corded as British; there is a male bred ‘‘ by W. H. B. Fletcher 
from Gelechia obsoletella; Bridgman has three more,” presumably 
contained in his collection, now in the Castle Museum at 
Norwich. <A female Bracon scutellaris, Wesm., also new to 
Britain, is labelled ‘‘ Plumstead, lst June, 1893.” B. subcylin- 
dricus, Wesm., is. represented as indigenous by a single female, 
captured by Marshall in the ‘‘Isle of Wight.” I have just 
examined a female B. fulvipes, Nees, bred by H. M. Edelsten on 
July 15th, 1908, from Cenobta rufa. 
Exothecus incertus, Wesm., must be added to our fauna on 
the strength of a single male in Marshall’s collection, captured 
by him at Botusfleming, in Cornwall. In like manner we must 
include Clinocentrus stigmaticus, Marsh., next to our C. vestigator, 
on the strength of an example (not in the collection), recorded 
by him (André, xv. 181). Allodorus semirugosus, Nees, has not 
been found with us before. There are three examples in the 
collection, two labelled ‘‘ Aviemore, 28, 76,” by Champion, and 
one from ‘‘ Rannoch,” in Marshall’s handwriting; it is one of 
the Sigalphides. It is very remarkable how few of each species 
Marshall possessed in the Areolarii; nearly all are represented 
by one, two, or three specimens only. ‘The most populous is 
Apanteles fulvipes, Hal., of which there are eighteen. Nearly all 
the bred examples are from Bignell’s collection, and one can but 
wonder that, with such a paucity of material, Marshall arrived 
at so full a knowledge of the group; how full it is can only be 
shown by subsequent work upon it, though personally I have 
found but few specimens which could not be assigned to one or 
other of his excellent descriptions. Of Agathis there are but 
two males of A. brevisetis, Nees, and a single female of his 
A. angelice from Britain ; though A. malvacearum is represented 
from Corsica, A. nigra from Nantua, in the Jura Mountains, and 
A. tibialis, ex coll. Konow, from Mecklenberg. Marshall had 
already taken Apanteles tenebrosus, brought forward by me from 
Britain (Entom. May, 1906), at Nunton, in Wilts. Microdus 
pumilus, Ratz., also new to our fauna, is represented by a female 
found by him at Cornworthy, near Totnes.
