MISS STAVELEY ON THE NEURATION 



ICHNEUMONIDiE. 



Cryptus (2), fig. 14 Membrane of wing appearing above the distal hooks. Upper 



Sphegid^. branch very indistinct. 



Sphex, fig. 34. 



POMPILID^. . . 



Pompilus (5 species), fig. 30. 



Mac7'omeris violaceus,^g.31. ' 



Pepsis (6 species), fig. 32. 

 I do not know how to describe the liind wing of the ChrysididcB. The nerve divides (fig. 25) , 

 and the division and re-junction are very indistinct, while there is merely an indication 

 of a branch, and the only other nerve ends nowhere in particular. Perhaps some larger 

 foreign species (if there are any) would be more decided. 



Ichneumon iD^E. 



Hemiteles The wing of my specimen is torn at the base ; and 1 think the nerve is 



displaced. I cannot describe it, or be sure if it should be in this 

 division. 

 II. Costal nerve not divided at the base ; single ; not marginal till about the centre, but 



margin of wing thickened above it. 

 Apid.^. 



Costal nerve branching about the centre, where it becomes mar- 

 ginal or nearly so. 



Distal hooks commencing on or before the branching. On costal 

 nerve. 



Membrane of wing near base deeply cleft, and again nearer the 

 centre.

Cejjhus pygmceus, fig. 2 



MUTILLID^E. 



Mutilla, fig. 28 . . . . 



As above, but costal nerve not marginal. 



^Distal hooks commencing beyond the branching. 



(In Mimesa and Penijihredon the anal vein is enlarged at the base 

 as if to branch, but without actually branching.) 



As above,but costal nerve becoming marginal sooner than in the others. 



Costal nerve rising to the margin about the centre. Dipping below 

 the margin at the commencement of the distal hooks (which grow 

 on the membrane of the wing above it), and, when they cease, rising 

 again and becoming marginal. Costal nerve branches at the point 

 where it dips.
