INTRODUCTORY PAPERS ON ICHNEUMONID. 155 
legitimate way of increasing our collections. I know of many 
instances in which a good insect has been exterminated, which 
otherwise (but for the greed of a few) might still be fairly 
plentiful in its old haunts.

By Joun B. Bripeman anp Epwarp A. Frrcu. 
No. I11.—CRYPTID (continued). 
Crciponomus, Bridgm. 
Black, greater part of legs red; aculeus as long as the abdomen (male 
and female). 
* Wings with an areolet. - : : westont, 2—8 lines. 
* Wings without an areolet. - - . - gallicola, 2—8 lines. 
Described at Entom. xiii. 264-5; and for their affinities and 
economy see Hntom. xiii. 254. Dr. Capron has since taken a 
specimen of C. westont at Shere. C.? rufus, Bridgm., is a 
synonymn of Hemiteles inimicus, Gr. 
OrrHOPELMA, Tasch. 
Segments 2nd and 38rd brown-marked, front legs partly red, base of 
hind tibiz testaceous; aculeus half or one-third of abdomen 
(male and female). - - - 1. luteolator, 2—24 lines. 
This species is the common parasite of Rhodites rose, and 
may generally be bred from the rose bedeguar galls in May and 
June of the second year. We have also bred varieties from the 
galls of R. eglanterie and FR. rosarum, but not commonly. 
CaTatytus, Foerst. 
Base of antenne, prothorax, scutellum, middle of abdomen and legs, 
red (male and female). - - 1. fulveolatus, 12—2 lines. 
Recorded by Marshall as doubtfully British. Mr. Bridgman 
has taken a short-winged female and a male with almost fully- 
developed wings near Norwich, and Mr. E. A. Butler captured a 
fine female at Battle last year. See Bridgman’s remarks under 
“ Aptesis Foersteri” (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1882, p. 146; 
1883, p. 161).
