158 Mr. J. B. Bridgman on some additions to 
Head behind the eyes narrow. Metathorax finely 
sculptured, five superior areas, lines fine, supero-medial 
area elongate; closed behind, widest in front. Post- 
petiole with almost straight sides, gently tapering ; 2nd 
segment a quarter longer than wide; 38rd subquadrate ; 
this and the following ones compressed ; aculeus just 
projecting, curved upwards. No areolet ; transverse anal 
nervure not broken. 
Black; scape of antenne beneath and legs reddish 
yellow ; apex of front and intermediate cox and tro- 
chanters yellowish; hind coxe black; apex of tarsi 
piceous. Female. Length 6 mm. 
Bred by Mr. Bignell from Nola albulalis. This species, 
contrary to the general habits of this genus, does not 
spin a cocoon, but emerges from the long-haired, pale- 
coloured larva of its host. 
Limneria moesta, Gr. 
Gray., I. H. ii. 995. 
Head transverse, narrow behind the eyes. Areolet 
irregular, sometimes petiolated, sometimes subsessile ; 
transverse anal nervure sometimes obsoletely divided ; 
back part of metathorax somewhat concave, sculpture 
rough; areas, from the roughness, hardly perceptible ; 
upper part very short, the groove running from the post- 
scutellum to the petiole ; 2nd segment of the abdomen 
nearly a half longer than wide, not much wider at the 
apex than at the base; 3rd a trifle longer than wide, 
much narrower at the base than at the apex. 
Three males from Mr. Bignell, who bred them from 
Hybernia progemmaria and H. defoliaria. 
They seem to vary in the colouring of the abdomen. 
I have added this to Gravenhorst’s description, because I 
cannot find the structure described anywhere. 
Since the above was in type I have received a female 
of this species from Mr. Bignell; it does not differ in 
colour or structure from the male. The aculeus is 
hardly exserted.
