162 Mr. J. B. Bridgman on some additions to

brown, paler in the middle. These were bred from 
Hybernia progemmaria.

Facie, abdomine macula media, piceis; pedibus fulvis, 
tibiis posticis, tarsisque maxima ex parte fuscis; stigma 
nigro-picea ; abdomine primo segmento aciculato. 
Post-petiole aciculate, somewhat like complanatus, but 
the stigma is dark, and the insect half as large again. 
Head not buecated, rather narrow behind the eyes; 
antenne longer than the body; internal cubital nervure 
interstitial ; transverse anal nervure not divided; area 
of metathorax 5, subdistinct ; thorax finely and minutely 
punctured ; 1st segment of abdomen distinctly aciculate, 
a slight central depression before the apex; tubercles 
distinct, this latter smooth and shining; 2nd and 38rd 
segments subquadrate. 
Black; face and by the ocelli piceous; collar partly, 
and a spot in the centre of the mesothorax, piceous; a 
pale piceous blotch spreading from the apex of the 2nd 
abdominal segment and along the back of the 3rd; legs 
fulvous, apex of hind tibizw fuscous, and all the tarsi, 
except the bases of the first joints, which are pale; 
stigma and nervure black-brown, extreme apex of former 
paler; base of wings yellow. Female. Length 4 mm.

This very distinct species is added to our list on the 
strength of a specimen which I found amongst Mr. 
Cameron’s Scotch Ichneumons.
