Catalogue of British Ichneumo aider. 367 



Sagaritis maculipes, Tschek. 



Tschek., Ichn. Frag., 49, 6, «? ? . 



I have taken in this neighbourhood what I believe to 

 be this species ; it lias also been bred by Mr. W. H. B. 

 Fletcher from an unknown host. The cocoon is pearly 

 white, with two indistinct zones of scattered black dots. 



Cymodusa antennator, Holm. 



Holm., Mon. Tryp. Suec, 41, 4, $ ? . 



Dr. Capron has taken the female of this species at 

 Shiere ; he also takes a male Cymodusa, which I identi- 

 fied as C.fiavipes, Brischke. This Dr. Capron thinks is 

 the male of C. antennator, Holm. It may be so, but it 

 differs in many respects from the female ; the head is not 

 so wide, the face is wider, hind femora dark, and there 

 is no trace of red on the abdomen of any I have seen 

 (I have four males). Holmgren gives a variety of the 

 male, " abdomen black, except the subtestaceous or red 

 incision of 2nd segment, and hind femora entirely 

 black"; this agrees exactly with Dr. Capron's males, 

 and also a male which I took at Wimbledon. In a foot- 

 note Holmgren says that this variety is perhaps a 

 distinct species. Dr. Capron remarks that he has taken 

 no male of C. antennator, or female of C. flavipes ; it is 

 possible that these may be the sexes of the same insect. 



Limneria mandibularis, Holm. 



Holm., Mon. Ophion. Suec, 97, 76, $ ? . 



Dr. Capron has taken this very distinct species in the 

 neighbourhood of Shiere. The head and thorax are 

 very coarsely punctate, wings are without areolet, hind 

 legs greater part black, aculeus and antennas short, and 

 transverse anal nervure divided, readily distinguishes it 

 from the other species of this group of Limneria. 



Limneria distincta, n. s. 



Niger, metathorace excavato, pedibus posticis nigris tibiis basi 

 et medio rufis. 



Head transverse, scarcely contracted behind the eyes, rather 

 wider than the. thorax ; antennee not qnite so long as the body ;
