British BraconidcB. 2^5 



Eare ; but eleven specimens, five males and six females, 

 have fortunately been bred by Elisba from Eupcecilia 

 roseana, Havs^., August 18th. 



3. Agathis anglica, n, s. 



Ater, femorum anteriorum apice late, tibiisque, testaceis, pos- 

 terioribus apice ftiscis, aute basin obsolete fusco auniilatis, tarsis 

 fuscis. Ake infuscatae, squamiilis, stigmate, nervis, nigi-icantibus. 

 Antennge <? ? 29— 31-articulataB. Rostrum quam A. nigrce multo 

 brevius. Caput, mesothorax, sciitelhim, Isevia, nitida ; metathorax 

 subrugulosus, feminai nonnihil laevior, carinis 2 longitudinalibus 

 approximatis, postice divergentibus. Segmentum Imum ut in sp. 

 prfficedente conformatum, sed basi Iseve, alioquin aciculatum ; 

 Cffitera la^via, nitida ; segmentiim 2 ut in sp. prsecedente. Areola 

 radialis minuta, stigmate minor ; radii abscissa 2da obsoleta, 8tia 

 nonnihil curvata, introrsum concava ; areola cubitalis 2da tenuis- 

 sima, fere obsoleta, subtriangularis. Terebra corpori lougitudine 

 sequalis. 



So like the preceding that it will suffice to point out the differences. 

 Posterior tibife with a dusky ring before the base ; wings less deeply 

 tinted ; antennai with more joints ; rostrum much shorter ; segment 

 1 smooth at the base, aciculated behind ; radial areolet shorter, 3d 

 abscissa of the radius curved ; areolet not petiolated ; terebra not 

 longer than the body. <? ? . Length, If ; wings, 3i lin. 



Commoner than A. nigra ; I have taken several speci- 

 mens, though only one male and two females now remam, 

 captured at Milford Haven. W. H. B. Fletcher has bred 

 a ? from Coleophora alhitarsella, ZelL, or discordella, 

 ZelL, and a <? from Deprcssaria nervosa, Haw.

Black; anterior femora at the apex broadly, andtibiiE, testaceous, 



posterior tipped with black and with a black ring before the base ; 



tarsi black, testaceous at the base. Wings infuscated, squamula?, 



stigma, and nervures blackish. Antennee ^ ? 27— 32-jointed. 



Head, mesothorax, and scutellum smooth and shining ; metathorax 



subrugulose, with 2 smooth discal spaces, sometimes obsolete, 



between which are 2 faint carinas, somewhat divergmg hindwards. 



Segment 1 with a smooth basal excavation, the rest aciculated ; the 



other segments smooth and shining. Eadial areolet broader and
