British Braconidce. 187 



4 longitudinal carinse, of which the two medial form an elongate 

 area, narrowest at the base ; the lateral carinfe are twice inter- 

 sected by transverse carinae. Wings fumato-hyaline ; stigma and 

 nervures fuscous. Hind coxte rufous ; fore femora and 4 anterior 

 tibiae fuscous at the base ; fore tarsi rufous, fuscous at the tips ; the 

 other tarsi white, with the base of the 1st joint and the last joint 

 entirely, fuscous. First abdominal segment longer than the 2d and 

 3d together, scarcely widened posteriorly, with raised lateral mar- 

 gins and 2 parallel dorsal carinse, the space between which is 

 punctulate and rugose ; the 2 exterior channels smooth, as likewise 

 is the rest of the abdomen. Terebra as long as the abdomen and 

 metathorax. ^ much smaller ; antennae without a white ring ; 

 abdomen narrower. Length J 5 ; wings, 9 lines ; (3^ 4 ; wings, 

 7^ lines. 



Taken in Germany by Gravenhorst, in France by 

 Villers, near Lyon. The pair excellently figured in the 

 work of Stephens are from several found, as that author 

 believed, in South Wales ; more were in the collection of 

 the Entomological Club, supposed to have been taken by 

 E. Newman near Leominster. A 2 , the gift of F. 

 Walker, is in my collection, and I presume it was one of 

 the same casual visitors. They might have been im- 

 ported in the larval state to Bristol or Cardiff in foreign 

 timber containing Coleoptera ; it is certain that no more 

 specimens have since appeared in this country. I 

 possess also H. {GijmnosceUs) tardator, Nees, from 

 Walker's collection, but its British origin is altogether 

 doubtful.
