OPHIONIDES. 



X Ophion luteus (L.) Three examples picked up along a 

 hedge-row, Holgate, 1881 (Wilson). 



Ophion, species? In the Field, Jan. 3, 1880, Mr. Peter 

 Inchbald records a "Flight of Ichneumon flies." He says that 

 on the i8th Nov., 1879, while he was walking across a moor in 

 the North Riding, he was surprised to see a whole flight of tawny- 

 coloured Ichneumon-flies, of the genus Ophioti ("most likely 

 O. luteinn"). They kept constantly alighting on the heads of 

 ling and heather, though it was difficult to discern their object in 

 doing so. 



X O. minutus Kriechb. York, 1879 or 1880, captured flying 

 along a hedgerow. "In the Entomologist, vol. xiii., page 54, Mr, 

 Bridgman says of this species that it is new to the British list. 

 This will, therefore, be the second British example." (Wilson, 

 Nat., 1881, vi., 153).

1880 (Bairstow).
