Black, with pale palj)i ; segment 1 at the sides narrowly, belly at 

 the base, and legs, rufo-testaceons ; hind femora black above towards 

 the apex, hind tibite tipped with fuscous, coxae black. Wings hyaline, 

 squamuliE black, stigma fuscoiis. Mesothorax thickly and finely 

 punctulate, somewhat shining ; scutellum and pleurae suaooth. 

 Metathorax rugulose. Segment 1 longer than its breadth by one 

 half, the sides parallel, truncate at the apex, concave at the base, 

 rugulose ; 2 broader than 1, shorter than 3, with two lateral oblique 

 impressions, rugulose, with a smooth medial obtuse carina ; the rest 

 smooth and shining. Hind coxae pi;nctulate, shining. Inner spur 

 of the hind tibi« shorter than h the metatarsus. Terebra very short. 

 ^ 5 . Length 1^ ; wings, 2^ lin. 



Segments 1 — 2 are shining, and slightly or moderately rugulose. 

 The oblique impressed lines on segment 2, common to many species 

 are here more developed, curved, and approximated at the fore 

 margin, approaching the structure of Sect. III. They termmate in 

 two distinct foveae, which are one of the surest marks by which to 

 recognise the species. The hind femora of the ^ are usually more 

 broadly black towards the apex than those of the $ . Antennae ^ 

 as long as the body. 



Var. Antennae ^ longer than the body ; segment 2 smooth ; 4 

 posterior femora with a black line above ; stigma pale fl^scous. 

 $ . The same, but the 2d segment is rugulose, and the antennae 

 shorter. Length, 1 line. Bred by me formerly from P. brassiccc, 

 L. Specimens are also in Fitch's collection. A fm-ther observation 

 of them, together with then- cocoons, is desu-able. They were 

 returned by Eeinhard mth the name glomeratus. 



A brood similarly named, and bred by Bignell from 

 Phigalia 2><idaria, Fab., is not the present species, but
