NOTES ON HYMENOPTERA. 53 
fourth joints of the hind tarsi are white, and one of them has the 
first segment entirely black. Amongst some Ichneumons, which 
Mr. Fitch kindly sent me to look over, I detected two of 
Holmgren’s species of Limneria, whilst in my collection I found 
athird. The three together leave no doubt in my mind as to their 
identity: they are very similar in shape and colour, but differ 
from each other as follows :—all have the hinder femora black, and 
are about from one and a half to two lines long, and have a black 
abdomen. . 
A. Hind tibiz whitish, base and apex blackish. 
1. Aculeus about as long as the first segment of the abdomen. 
L. lugubrina, Holm. Bred by Mr. Bignell. 
2. Aculeus about half the length of the abdomen. 
L. cursitans, Holm. 
B. Hind tibiz whitish, apex and before the base blackish. 
Aculeus as long as J.. cwrsitans, and antennie shorter. 
L. volubilis, Holm. Bred by Mr. Weston. 
These are all new to the British list. I have also taken 
Phygadewon aberrans, Tasch., which is like P. abdominator, with a 
punctured abdomen; also a small species of the same genus, 
which I believe to be P. nanus, Grav. 
The two following species of Phygadewon I cannot find 
described in Taschenberg or Gravenhorst :— 
P. Black; 2-5 joints of antenne, abdomen from the Ist 
segment, femora, tibize, and tarsi red; extreme base and apex of 
hind tibiz and hind tarsi dark; mesothorax coarsely punctured 
in the middle ; metathorax shining, coarsely wrinkled ; arez very 
distinct ; supero-medial, hexagonal much narrower in front than 
behind; lst segment of the abdomen elongated; tubercles 
projecting and placed much behind the middle; from them it 
gradually widens, and is coarsely and distinctly long-wrinkled ; 
remaining segments polished, 2nd very indistinctly long-wrinkled; 
abdomen elongate-ovate; transverse anal nervure divided less 
than one-third from the bottom; Ist joint of the flagellum about 
three times as long as thick; aculeus about one-sixth the length 
of the abdomen. Female. Length, 6°5 mill. Taken August 4th. 
Norwich. 
The other species was sent to me by Mr. C. G. Barrett from 
Pembroke. 
P. Black; abdomen from the Ist segment and legs chestnut;
