VII. Further additions to Mr. Marshall's Catalogue of 

 British Ichneumonidse. By John B. Bridgman, 

 F.L.S. 



[Read March 7th, 1883.] 



It is not without much hesitation that I have ventured 

 to publish this paper, containing as it does the descrip- 

 tion of several insects which appear to me to be new : it 

 is almost impossible, living in the country and being 

 unable to spare time sufficient to stay in London long 

 enough to hunt up all stray notes, to make oneself 

 acquainted with all the descriptions that are written, to 

 be certain that some of these insects may not have been 

 previously named. I have described several species of 

 the genus Hemiteles, Gr., which do not appear to be 

 described in Gravenhorst, Batzeburg, or Taschenberg ; 

 also some species of Batzeburg's genus Hemimachus, 

 which he split off from Hemiteles, and which appears to 

 contain only some males of Pezomachus, and which genus 

 has no right to a separate existence. I have also de- 

 scribed two very distinct females of Pezomachus, and 

 the male of P. vagans, which I bred, with the female, 

 from a spider's nest. Mr. Bignell has also been fortunate 

 enough to breed both sexes of P. instahilis, var., and 

 P. analis, var. 



I have again to thank the same gentlemen as last 

 year, to whom I am indebted for much of the subject- 

 matter of this paper ; also to the Bev. T. A. Marshall.

I have taken both sexes of this Ichneumon in Norfolk. 

 The female I have had for some years ; the male I took 

 last year at Cromer, in June. I have both the varieties 

 of the male described by Wesmael, as well as another
