Smits van Bürgst, Ichneumonidae. 4ß3 



I swept one $ from underbrush at Bürgst, near Breda (Hol- 

 land), in May 1912. 



Named in honour of Mr. K. Pfankuch, teacher at Bremen. 



2. Hemiteles breclensis n. sp. 



$. Head transverse, broader than thorax, a little narrowed 

 posteriorly ; face broader than high , parallel-sided ; clypeus not 

 discreted , bidentate apically ; cheeks somewhat buccate ; dull, 

 coriaceous throughout. Antennae filiform , slightly incrassate to- 

 wards the apex ; flagellum 22-jointed, basal Joint more than thrice 

 longer than broad, joints one and two about equal in length. 



Thorax subcylindrical, notauli obsolete, coriaceous throughout, 

 only pro- and mesopleurae longitudinally striate and shining ; 

 metathorax with the areae complete and well defined, basal area 

 convergent posteriorly, area superomedia hexagonal, much broader 

 than long, emitting the costulae from behind its centre ; spiracles 

 small and circular. Forewing with stigma slightly larger than 

 normal size , radius emitted from its centre ; areola plentagonal 

 with the outer nervure wanting, the inner transverse slightly longer 

 than its distance from recurrent nervure, the latter unifenestrate ; 

 discoidal cell apically acute below. In hindwing nervellus almost 

 opposite, broken below centre and emitting a distinct nervure. 



Abdomen ovate, subdeplanate ; basal, segment with a distinct 

 lateral margin, petiole deplanate, postpetiole dilated towards the 

 apex , spiracles not prominent , coriaceous , apical half aciculate, 

 the extreme apex centrally glabrous ; second segment coriaceous, 

 its apical third as well a following segments glabrous ; terebra, 

 viewed from above, a little shorter than the abdomen. 



Legs normal. 



Length, including terebra, 6 1 / 2 mm. 



A somewhat stout species with the aspect of a Phygadeuon. 

 Head black, cribrary parts fulvous. Antennae from base to nfth 

 flagellar Joint ferrugineous , the apical half ' nigrescent. Thorax 

 black. Wings infumato-hyaline ; tegulae an radix of wings white, 

 stigma and nervures piceous. Abdomen rufescent-testaceous, basal 

 segment, excepting its apex, black, segment three apically somewhat 

 infuscate, segment four dfscally flavescent. Legs rufescent-testa- 

 ceous, trochanters whitish, hind tibiae and tarsi slightly infuscate. 



This species is closely related to Hemiteles nigrobasalis Schmied, 

 from which however , the sculpture of thorax and abdomen and 

 the colouration of the legs will instantly distinguish it. 



I captured one $ by sweeping shrubs in the environs of 

 Breda (Bürgst) in July 1912.
