 In shady places, Ireland.

 Eyrecourt, September. 



Subgenus Plectiscus. 

 Areola minuta oblique transversa. Abdomen rarius subsessile, seg- 

 menti 1' tuberculis anticis. Characteres reliqui ut in subg. Clepticus. 

 Here Cr. collares. albipalpus, zonatus, &c. find their place. 

 Pimpla Senator, C. 516. 11 S''. 



Eph. segmentis albo-marginatis, intermediis subtransversis, orbitis 

 oculorum internis albis, mesothorace rufo albo-maculato, pedibus 

 rufis, terebra corporis longitudine,/. Long. 4 lin. 

 Intermediate between P. divinator and mediator, resembling 

 the first by its shorter figure and the form of the radial areolet, 

 the latter in the length of the oviscapt. 

 Pimpla phcenicea, C. 512. 66^. 



Pol. mesothorace cum scutello rufo, pedibus fulvis, tibiis posticis 

 albidis apicefuscis, ore et antennarum basi subtus albidis, m.f. 

 Long. 2^ lin. 

 A variety, as I now believe, of P. percontatoria.
