ICHNEUMONID& OF THE BANKSIAN COLLECTION. 185 
for I cannot see the spiracles), with the terebra longer than the 
abdomen. ‘‘ Habitat in noua Hollandia.” 
44. profligator.—2. Both females of Glyphicnemis profligator, 
Fab., as set forth in my Ichn. Brit. 11. 68-66; both have the 
frons distinctly and not confluently punctate, the antenne cen- 
trally clear white, and the size not large. ‘They are in capital 
preservation. 
75. maculator. —1. A large male Pimpla (Itoplectis) scanica, 
Gray., which has recently been synonymised with Ichnewmon 
maculator (cf. Ichn. Brit. iii.103). Curiously enough, it is of the 
(? more usually Oriental) form, not uncommon in India, having 
the hind tibie with no black markings. 
128. Acarorum.—1. Myrmosa melanocephala, Fab. E. 8.17938. 
‘* Habitat in Europe borealis Curculionum laruis”’! 
MS. Generic Laset :—BASSUS. 
82. prerogator.—2: (1) A Tryphonid, but not Tryphon (Dy- 
spetes) prerogator, Gray. ; the areo- 
let is entirely wanting. 
(2) A black Limnerium.

‘“‘ Habitat in Insula Otaheiti. Mus. Dom. Banks.” This is the 
type of Swederus’s species (Sv. Ak. Handl. 1787, p. 279) ; it has 
not been mentioned in literature since 1790, and is allowed to 
remain in its original genus by Dalla Torre in 1902. In the 
Banksian Collection it is placed in Bassus (as understood by 
Fabricius, nec Fallén) ; but the type differs from Holmgren’s 
Pimplid genus Hchthromorpha solely in lacking the apical alar 
infumescence. It is congeneric with both Pimpla variegata, 
Brullé, and Chrysopimpla ornatipes, Cam. An analogous speci- 
men was captured by Dr. Coppinger in the same island during 
‘“The Voyage of H.M.S. Alert”’ in August, 1880.] 
36. objugator.*—1. ‘ Habitat in Africa equinoctiali.” This 
female is quite certainly synonymous with Osprynchotus heros, 
Schlett. (Ann. Soc. Belg. 1891, p. 33), as set forth by Tosquinet 
(Ichn. d’Afrique, 248). It is recorded from Togoland, the Came- 
roons, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and the Congo ; from the last 
locality Miss E. M. Sharpe presented five Hymenoptera to the 
British Museum in 1890, of which one female belongs to the 
present species, thus fixing its locality. 
MS. Generic Laset :—PIMPLA. 
62. manifestator.—2. Both are Hphialtes mesocentrus, Grav., 
females ; the second has lost its head. Stigma fulvous; hind 
tibiz not shorter than their tarsi. 
66. irritator.—1. This North American female was correctly 
relegated in 1846 to the genus Hphialtes by Brullé, whose short
