ICHNEUMONID® OF THE BANKSIAN COLLECTION. 133 
third abdominal segment pale. All are from New Zealand. 
Colobacis forticornis, Cam. (Trans. New Zealand Institute, 1901, 
Xxxili. p. 110) is entirely synonymous with the above, and is 
erroneously placed by its author in the Amblypygini on the shape 
—not structure—of the abdomen. Colobacis cannot be difte- 
rentiated from Ichnewmon, Thoms. 
(‘‘ Tinctorius, Sw. MSS.”—A large Ichneumon (s. 8.) or Ambly- 
teles, with the abdomen coated with ?dirt.] 
19. vaginatorius. —1. Banchus sp., 2 (probably B. pictus, 
Fab., with the scutellar spine mutilated). ‘‘ Scutello albo” = 
apical half only ; ‘‘thorace maculato”’ = two round dots on meta- 
notum and the same on front of mesonotum, and linear cal- 
losities beneath radices; third abdominal fascia is not ‘‘ in- 
terrupta.”’ 
21. bidentorius.—1. Amblyteles armatorius, Forst., 3. 
20. annulatorius.*—1. Amblyteles palliatorius, Grav., S. I 
am not quite sure of this determination, since the head and 
front legs are missing, and the four first segments are alone 
basally black, but I have no doubt respecting the genus (cf. Ichn. 
Brit. ii. 45). 
[(‘‘ Punctatorius, Sw. MSS.”—Amblyteles oratorius, Fab., 3 .] 
32. sollicitorius.*—This male ichneumon is not, as I had at 
first sight expected, the male of I. lotatorius (ante, No. 16), but of 
the somewhat closely allied J. invectus, Smith (Trans. Ent. 
Soc. 1876, p. 475), as the sculpture of the metanotum at once 
proclaims. Consequently both Fabrician titles stand, with, as 
its author originally suspected, and I have little doubt is the 
case, I. insidiator, Smith (l.c. p. 476, nec Tischb.) as male of 
I. lotatorius. There is a small series of both sexes in the 
General Collection in British Museum. Hutton (Cat. New Zeal. 
Dipt. 1881, p. 120) is the only author who has mentioned 
I. sollicitorius since 1824. 
[(‘‘Ferrugator, Act. Holm. 1787, p. 280.” — Two females, 
marked with a type-label, as though they had passed from 
Swederus, who first described the species (loc. cit. vill. pl. iv. 
fig. 2), through the hands of Fabricius to the Banksian cabinet. 
Both sexes of this species, which I am inclined to regard asa 
Melanichneumon on account of its hexagonal areola, were re- 
described by Cresson (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 208). It 
is entirely distinct from Ichnewmon ferrugator, Kirby, Fauna 
Bor.-Amer. iv. (1887), p. 258, the type of which does not appear 
to be in the British Museum.+t] 
+ I am not aware that Oryptocentrum lineolatum, Kirby, has been 
mentioned in literature since the erection of both genus and species in the 
above work in 1887 (pl. vi. fig. 1). Ihave discovered the type of this species 
in the General Collection of the British Museum, where are three others of 
which two are labelled ‘‘ Georgia,’ and the third, received in 1844, from 
Albany River, Hudson’s Bay, bears the MS. name ‘“ Pimpla Annulata.” 
That they are typical representatives of the genus Rhyssa there can be no
