154 Mr. J. B. Bridgman on some additions to 
by Desvignes in the ‘Museum Catalogue of British 
Ichneumons,’ p. 57. Mr. Marshall considered it only a 
variety of C. carnifex, and included it in his 1872 ‘ Cata- 
logue,’ p. 41, amongst the synonyms of that insect. 
Later on Thomson, in ‘ Opuscula Entomologica,’ fase 5, 
p- 514, has described it as Hygrocryptus Drewsent, 0. 8. ; 
but, according to the law of priority, this name must 
rank as a synonym to Desvignes’ name of elegans. 
Thomson has named another Cryptid elegans (Hoplo- 
cryptus elegans, l.c. p. 511). I think this ought to be 
altered, and therefore propose that it be changed to 
HH, Thomsont.

I have taken two males of a Cryptus which I believe 
to be this species; it belongs to the same subdivision as 
elegans and carnifex ; they have black coxe, but other- 
wise much like these two species; but as Thomson only 
described. the female (l. c., p. 514), and as I have 
taken males only, there must be some doubt as to their 
identity.

Agrothereutes Batavus, Voll. 
Voll., Tid. v. Ent. xvi., p. 209: Pinac. pl. 37, fig. 2. 
This insect is figured in Vollenhoven’s ‘ Pinacographia,’ 
Plate 37, fig. 2. Brischke says that probably A. Hopei, 
Gr., is a variety of A. abbreviator, Fabr.; if so, this 
may be another variety of the same species. 
A female was taken last September in a sand-pit in 
a wood at Guestling, near Hastings, by the Rev. 
EK. N. Bloomfield.
