ICHNEUMONID^ OF THE BANKSIAN COLLECTION. 135 



for I cannot see the spiracles), with the terebra longer than the 

 abdomen. " Habitat in noua Hollandia." 



44. profligator. — 2. Both females of Glyphicnemis prqfligator, 

 Fab., as set forth in my Ichn. Brit. ii. 63-66 ; both have the 

 frons distinctly and not confluently punctate, the antennae cen- 

 trally clear white, and the size not large. They are in capital 

 preservation. 



75. maculator. — 1. A large male Pimpla (Itoplectis) scanica, 

 Grav., which has recently been synonymised with Ichneumon 

 maculator [cf. Ichn. Brit. iii. 103). Curiously enough, it is of the 

 (? more usually Oriental) form, not uncommon in India, having 

 the hind tibife with no black markings. 



128. Acarorum. — 1. ilf«/rmos«7we/a«ocej)/tfl^a. Fab. E. S. 1793. 

 " Habitat in Europe borealis Curculionum laruis"! 



MS. Generic Label :—BASSUS. 



82. praerogator. — 2 : (1) A Tryphonid, but not Tryphon {Dy- 



spetes) prcerogator, Grav. ; the areo- 

 let is entirely wanting. 

 (2) A black Limnerium. 

 [" Ichn. Agrestorius, Gmelin, p. 2679, n. 341."— 1. ?: 

 " Habitat in Insula Otaheiti. Mus. Dom. Banks." This is the 

 type of Swederus's species (Sv. Ak. Handl. 1787, p. 279) ; it has 

 not been mentioned in literature since 1790, and is allowed to 

 remain in its original genus by Dalla Torre in 1902. In the 

 Banksian Collection it is placed in Bassus (as understood by 

 Fabricius, nee Fallen) ; but the type differs from Holmgren's 

 Pimplid genus Echthromorpha solely in lacking the apical alar 

 infumescence. It is congeneric with both Pimpla variegata, 

 Brulle, and Chrysopimpla ornatipes, Cam. An analogous speci- 

 men was captured by Dr. Coppinger in the same island during 

 " The Voyage of H.M.S. Alert" in August, 1880.] 



36. objugator.* — 1. " Habitat in Africa aequinoctiali." This 

 female is quite certainly synonymous with Osprynchotus heros, 

 Schlett. (Ann. Soc. Belg. 1891, p. 33), as set forth by Tosquinet 

 (Ichn. d'Afrique, 248). It is recorded from Togoland, the Came- 

 roons, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and the Congo ; from the last 

 locality Miss E. M. Sharpe presented live Hymenoptera to the 

 British Museum in 1890, of which one female belongs to the 

 present species, thus fixing its locality.

62. manifestator. — 2. Both are Ephialtes mesocentnis, Grav., 

 females ; the second has lost its head. Stigma fulvous ; hind 

 tibiae not shorter than their tarsi. 



66. irritator. — 1. This North American female was correctly 

 relegated in 1846 to the genus Ephialtes by Brulle, whose short
