JOTTINGS ON BRITISH ICHNEUMONID-E. 171 



definitely enrolled as British, since I find the specimen lightly 

 mentioned by me (Ichn. Brit, i, Addenda, 293) to be in Marshall's 

 collection, where it is labelled as captured by him at Bishops 

 Teignton in Devon. It is probably the same as referred to by 

 Thomson (Opusc. Ent. xv. 1627):— "Jag bar endast sett en 

 hanne af N. albibucca (Kriecbb.), hvilken ofverensstammer med 

 ett exemplar fran England utom deri att den sednare har 

 brostets undersida blek." 



Ichneumon erythroceriis, Grav.,may certainly be synonymous 

 with Oiorhinus pallidipalpis, Wesm., as I indicated (I.e.) upon 

 Marshall's authority; but his exponents are all Phceogenes 

 fidvitarsis ! 



Ph^ogenes eques, Wesm. — The male, hitherto undescribed, 

 may be characterised : — 



Head normal and not strongly dilated posteriorily ; face not 

 strongly, but closely and distinctly, punctate ; cheeks neither sinuate 

 nor produced ; frons closely, distinctly and somewhat deeply punc- 

 tate ; clypeus distinctly sinuate on either side ; mandibles except 

 apically, and the facial orbits very broadly stramineous. Antennae 

 nearly as long as body, fulvescent with the scape apically stramineous 

 beneath. Thorax with the pronotum, small pre- and sub-radical 

 lines, and the apical half of scutellum transversely stramineous ; 

 metathoracic areae complete with the areola subcircular-hexagonal, 

 but slightly longer than broad, and emitting costulae before its centre. 

 Abdomen badious with the distinct thyridii, and apices of the follow- 

 ing segments paler ; postpetiole subglabrous and laterally elevated, 

 Legs fulvous with the anterior coxa? and trochanters entirely, and 

 the hind ones apically, white; hind legs otherwise unicolorous 

 infuscate ferrugineous. Wings normal with the tegulse white, stigma 

 fulvous and nervellus intercepted. Length, 6| mm. 



I brought the above species forward as British in 1903 on 

 the strength of an indigenous female. The above diagnosis is 

 drawn from a single male in the National Collection from that 

 of Desvignes's, who had named it doubtfully as a variety of 

 Ichneumon albinotatus, Grav. {Bariehneumon derogator, Wesm. ?). 

 Its association with the female is arbitrary. 



Apceleticus bellicosus, Wesm. — The unique British female 

 from Desvignes's collection is correctly named by Fred. Smith ; 

 and there is a male of A. inclytus, Wesm., from the same 

 collection. 



Ichneumon rufator, Steph. — I cannot yet place this male, 

 which I again examined and confirmed as belonging to the 

 Phffiogenini. 



Coelichneumon impressor, Zett. — The malformed specimen 

 with the right areolet wanting (referred to by Bridg.-Fitch, 

 Entom. 1880, p. 297; cf. Ichn. Brit. i. 37) has nothing to do 

 with this species, which is a misnomer. It is certainly a 

 Cratichneumon, and can be nothing but an extraordinary freak
