7. nutatorius.—1. A representative of the Mesostenini, ?. 
This exactly corresponds with Frederick Smith’s description and 
figure of Mesostenus albopictus (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1876, p. 477, 
pl. iv. fig. 1) from New Zealand, and later recorded thence by 
Cameron ; the latter specimen, though not Smith’s type, is in 
the British Museum. The only distinction—a very strong one— 
is in the terebral length, which is not less than that of the abdo- 
men. I consider it probable that M. albopictus, Smith (Proc. 
Linn. Soe. iii. (1859), p. 172), from Key, is distinct. I cannot 
find Fabricius’s species in either the British Museum Collection 
or in Mr. Roland Turner’s extensive collection of Hymenoptera, 
in which are some twenty distinct species of Mesostenus (sensu 
lato) from Northern Queensland. Not a Cryptus, as placed by 
Dalla Torre. 
9. infractorius.—1. Amblyteles infractorius, Panz. 
10. ambulatorius.*—1. Amblyteles vadatorius, Illig., 2 . 
27. fusorius, var. 3 pisorius.—1. Protichnewmon erythrogaster, 
Steph., ?. 
15. luctatorius.*—1 (only). Ichnewmon extensorius, Linn., 2. 
16. lotatorius.*—1. A typical-looking black female Ichnewmon 
(sensu Thoms., though it has more the facies and obtuse anus of 
Amblyteles) ; respecting colour, it is only necessary to add that 
the “‘thorace maculato”’ consists of a single callosity beneath 
the radices, that the apical angles of the third abdominal seg- 
ment are also red, with the whole legs, except coxe, trochanters, 
and extreme apices of hind femora, concolorous. It is a stout 
insect of 12 mm. in length. Undoubtedly Fitch is correct 
(Proc. Ent. Soc. 1883, p. xxxvi.) in synonymising Priocnemis 
pascoei, Kirby (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1883, p. 200, not p. 20, as given 
in ‘ Zoological Record’ et D. T.), with this species. I, like him, 
have compared the types, and find the variability he refers to 
mainly in the immaculate scutellum and radical callosities of 
I. pascoet, which also has the flagellum pale beneath; but its 
sculpture throughout is entirely identical. The seven other 
specimens referred to by him include a couple of the under- 
mentioned male, which differs little, except in also having the
