zigzag brown lines; EH. Teniata, from the Philippines, is reddish 
brown, with a submarginal orange band, and H. Obscura from 
Gilolo, which expands over two inches, and is the largest of the 
genus, is brown above, with one zigzag dark line on the middle 
of the fore wings, and two on the hind wings. The under side of 
the hind wings of most species of Hrgolis is rich brown, with 
more or less distinct darker bands. ; 
Hypanis Ilithyia is a handsome black and orange butterfly, 
common in Africa and the East Indies; it expands about one 
inch and ahalf. A broad orange band runs from the inner margin 
of the hind wings to the costa of the fore wings, but is broadly 
interrupted nearly opposite to the end of the cell, which is partly 
filled up, and bordered below by a broad orange basal stripe, 
deeply indented above and below, and connected with the central 
band; there is also a row of submarginal orange lunules. The 
under side of the hind wings somewhat resembles that of a Mehtea. 
They are banded with different shades of orange, yellow, buff, or 
whitish ; towards the base the bands are edged by rows of black 
spots, but beyond the middle they are edged by black lines, and 
the nervures being also black on the outer half, the pale bands are 
broken into spots. The arrangement and width of the bands of 
the under surface, and the extent of the orange markings on the 
upper surface differ considerably, and it is not at all improbable 
that some of the supposed varieties (several of which have 
received names) may be really distinct species. 
NOTES ON HYMENOPTERA. 
By Epwarp Capron, M.D. 
In the November ‘Entomologist’ for 1878 (Entom. xi. 242), 
I recorded a new Crabro. I now am able from the examination 
of my summer captures in this neighbourhood to announce two 
interesting additions to our native _Ichneumonide, of which I 
append descriptions :— 
Phygadeuon digitatus, Gray. (fem.).—Long. 33 lines; ale 
expans., 6 lines. Black; mandibles red in middle. Antenne 
with joints 8—18, white. Legs red, with coxe and trochanters 
black ; posterior tarsi, and apex of posterior tibiz rather darker. 
Seventh segment of abdomen with a whitish membranous patch.
