136 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
description (Hist. Ins. Hym. iv. 81) is accurate as far as it goes. 
The economy of this species is outlined by F. H. Chittenden 
(‘ Insect Life,’ v. (1893), p. 247; cf. iii. p. 461). It is said to be 
ektoparasitic upon larve of the Longicorn beetle, Leiopus varie- 
gatus, Hald. No male has yet been assigned to it; the female, 
as is usual in the genus, is probably much the commoner sex. 
104. punctatus.*+—1 ¢; ‘‘ Habitat in Coromandel.” This is 
quite certainly the Pimpla ceylonica of Peter Cameron (Manch. 
Mém. 1899, p. 165), for I have compared the types inter se and 
find them to agree ad amussim. The latter author is incorrect 
in supposing Krieger’s description of Xanthopimpla punctata (Bey. 
Nat. Ges. Leipzig, 1899, p. 101) to appertain to a distinct species. 
The fault lies entirely in the Fabrician diagnosis. 
74. extensor.—1. Glypta sculpturata, Grav., 2. Fabricius 
refers the species to Linneus and Geoffroy, but it is impossible 
to read any meaning into the old descriptions, such as Fourcroy 
(int. Paris. 1785, p. 423), Schrank (Fauna Boica, 1802, p. 270), 
Walckenaer (Fauna Paris. 1802, p. 60), or Latreille (Hist. Crust. 
et Ins. 1805, p.180; cf. Grav. Ichn. Europ. 1829, iii. pp. 980-1). 
And the name has hitherto been, and still should continue to be, 
applied to Ephialtes extensor, Tasch. (Zeits. Ges. Nat. 1863, 
p- 255), which I have recently been enabled to add to the British 
fauna through the kindness of E. A. Cockayne, Esq., who took 
it in Kensington Gardens in 1908 (cf. also Marsham, Trans. 
Linn. Soc. 1797, p. 23). 
77. strobilell (labelled ‘‘ Ichn. strobionelle ? Fabr. Sp. Ins. 
No. 77”’).—This is a typical Lissonota cylindrator, Vill., 2; by 
no means representing its description, which is simply copied 
from Linneus (Syst. Nat. ii. p. 985). “‘ Habitat in Larva Pha- 
lene Strobilelle & Turionelle.” 
[“‘ Ichn. Fuscator, Sw. MSS. Ex Ins. Sandwich.” — An en- 
tirely black, red-legged Ephialtes, differing in no appreciable way 
from E. extensor, Tasch. I suspect some unfortunate transposi- 
tion has here taken place, for Fabricius describes this species in 
his ‘ Piezata’ of 1804, p. 85, under the name Cryptus fuscator, as 
having only the front pair of legs red, with a black mark before 
the apices of the wings, both of which points diverge from this 
specimen. ] 
65. compunctor.—1. A large female Pimpla (Apechtis) brasst- 
eari@, Poda. 
MS. Generic Laset :—OPHION. 
96. luteus.—2 2 ¢@: (1) Ophion luteus, Linn. 
(2) Paniscus ? testaceus, Grav. ~ 
100. Morio.*—1 ¢. ‘ Habitat in America boreali.” This 
is a rather broken specimen, and was correctly placed in his 
genus T’hyreodon by Brullé in 1846. It is quite common through- 
out Northern and Central America ; specimens in British Museum
