Catalogue of British Ichneumonidce. 147 



Black ; three first joints of flagellum entirely, and to 

 the middle beneath more or less red ; 2nd segment of 

 abdomen, base of 3rd, and legs, red ; base of coxae 

 sometimes more or less fuscous ; apex of hind femora 

 and tibiae blackish brown ; extreme base of hind tibiae 

 brown. Wings with a slight fuscous tinge ; stigma and 

 nervure brown ; base of wings and stigma white. 

 Length 3*75 — 4 mm. 



Three females taken in the neighbourhood of Exeter by 

 Mr. G. C. Bignell on September 23rd, 1882. In Kev. T. 

 A. Marshall's collection are specimens from Sandwich, 

 Milford Haven, and Braemar. 



Since the above was written I have seen another speci- 

 men taken by the Bev. W. W. Fowler ; it differs from 

 Mr. Bignell's specimens in having the abdomen not so 

 broad, but in no other respect. Dr. Capron has also 

 taken this variety in the neighbourhood of Shere. This 

 species appears to be generally distributed, and is pro- 

 bably not uncommon.
