Catalogue of British Ichneumonidce. 427 



Bred by Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher from Heydenia auro- 

 macidella from Shetland. 



This comes very near to L. luguhrina, H., but differs 

 from his description in the length of the aculeus, the 

 2nd and 3rd segments of the abdomen, colour of the 

 stigma, and arese of the metathorax. 



Limneria {Angitia, Th.) albonotata, n. s. 



Niger, pedibus anticis flavo-testaceis, coxis et troehanteribus 

 pallide stramineis, posticis coxis nigris, femoribus rufis, tibiis albis, 

 basi apiceque nigris, tarsis nigris, basi albis ; aculeo brevissimo. 



Head transverse, wider than the thorax, narrowed behind the 

 eyes, seen in front, subtriangular ; apex of clypeus rotundate ; 

 mandibles rather stout, teeth equal ; face longer than wide, rather 

 narrower than the forehead ; antennae rather shorter than the 

 body, attenuated at the apex ; eyes sUghtly emarginate against the 

 antennae. Thorax opaque, longer than high; metathorax with 

 three indistinct superior areae ; the lateral areae with hardly an 

 indication of the transverse costa ; supero-medial area elongate, 

 narrow, finely rugose, posterior face rather more coarsely rugose, 

 not depressed in the centre. Abdomen longer and narrower than 

 the head and thorax ; 1st segment almost straight, post-petiole 

 about twice as wide as the petiole, longer than wide, sides almost 

 straight ; 2nd segment about one-third longer than wide ; 3rd 

 subquadrate ; remainder transverse ; aculeus of female very short. 

 Legs slender. Wings with a petiolated areolet ; recurrent ner- 

 vure received almost at the apex ; radial nervure almost straight, 

 curved at the apex ; transverse anal of hind wings not divided. 

 Stigma very narrow. 



Black; mandibles pale stramineous; front and middle legs 

 reddish yellow ; coxae and trochanters pale stramineous ; hind 

 legs : coxae black, trochanters pale, base black, femora red, tibiae 

 white, base and apex black, calcariae white, more than half the 

 length of the metatarsi, tarsi black, base of 1st joint widely white, 

 ventral fold partly pale fuscous. Tegulse pale stramineous ; stigma 

 piceous. Male and female. Length, 8 mm. 



These insects were taken by Dr. Capron in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Shiere, and are very like L. interrupta, H., 

 but are much larger, and the base of the hind tarsi is 

 white. They belong to the genus Limneria of Holm- 

 gren, and Angitia of Thomson.
