is perhaps the male of vcrherans. Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher 

 and Mr. G. T. Porritt have bred six females and four 

 males from Cramhns contaminellus ; the males agree 

 exactly with L. lineata, Gr., and the females are exactly 

 coloured as the males, except that all have black coxse, 

 not varied with yellow, and one male also has no yellow 

 on the coxffi, but the other three are variegated with 

 yellow : the yellow marks on the female are less distinct 

 than in the male, and none of the former have any 

 yellow marks on the abdomen ; the whole ten have the 

 sides and apex of the scutellum and a line on the post- 

 scutellum yellow ; this species is the only one of four 

 in which Gravenhorst gives the post-scutellum yellow- 

 marked. The 2nd and 3rd segments of the abdomen 

 are a little longer than wide ; in a male which I take to 

 be insignita the 2nd and 3rd segments are much longer 

 than wide (about one-third). Not one of the ten exhibit 

 any trace of red on the thorax, as in parallela, of which 

 this was considered a variety, and also the coxse are 

 differently coloured. The aculeus is as long as the body. 

 The description of lineata is very like that oijwrspicillator, 

 and whether they are only varieties I am unable to say. 



Lissonota carhonaria, Holm. 



Holm., Mon. Pimp. Suec, 54, 15, ? . 



Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher has bred a female Lissonota, 

 which I believe is this species, from a Tortrix pupa 

 found at Abbott's Wood, Sussex. 



Schizopyga circulator, Panz. 

 Ichneumon circulator, Panz., Faun. Fasc, 79, tab. 12; 

 Schizopyqa tricingulata, var. 2, 3, Gr., I. E., iii., 

 129, 69,^ <? ; S. analis, Gr., I. c, 130, 70, ? ; 

 Ichneumon circulator, Gr., I. c, 10, 59. 

 The Rev. T. A. Marshall sent me the male and female 

 of the above insect, and referred me to Gravenhorst's 

 copy of Panzer's description, from which there is no 

 doubt but that Panzer's /. circulator is the same insect 

 that Gravenhorst described as S. analis, nor is there 

 any doubt but S. tricingulata, vars. 2 and 3, is its male : 

 so S. circulator, Panz., must supersede *S'. analis, Gr.
