to our fauna, except in so far that its position has not previously 

 been decided. 



Relegating species to their correct location is no simple task 

 in the Ichneumonidse. Microplites splendidulns is treated as an 

 Ichneumonid b,y Bridg. -Fitch ; Stephens's figure of it looks like 

 an Atractodes (Cryptid); Berthoumieu tells us it is a Tryphonid, 

 and the two specimens standing under this name in Desvignes's 

 collection certainly belong to the Exochini. Mesoleptus Mulleri 

 (White) Butler, toy. Erebus, 1874, p. 27, pi. vii, fig. 2, is a 

 Lissonota, as I am enabled to say from an examination of the 

 typical single male and female in the General Collection.

Rhj/ssa leucographa. — The specimens in the British Collection 

 from that of Desvignes, which I have mentioned (Ichn. Brit. iii. 

 29) as our only possible representatives of this species, have 

 the clypeus produced and the central segments not apically 

 emarginate ; they are nothing but somewhat small R. per- 

 siiasoria, and the former must, consequently, be expunged from 

 our indigenous fauna. 



Xorides alhitarsus must also be deleted from the British List : 

 the only representative being a ' female Crypturus {Endurns) 

 argiolus, Grav., which is not yet recorded elsewhere as British, 

 and probably crept in by accident, since it bears no resemblance 

 to any Xorides, nor hint of its origin, beyond the simple number 

 " 23 " (of lost meaning) on the pin. It is a native of Southern 

 Europe, said by Giraud to attack Polistes diadema, and is very 

 unlikely to extend so far north as Britain. 



The above shows the species to be added and omitted to our 

 indigenous fauna to be as follows : —
