HYMENOPTERA near YORK in 1882 and 1883. 



By THOMAS WILSON, 

 Holgate, near York. 



The following species of Saw-flies and Ichneumon-flies were captured 

 or bred by me during the seasons of 1882 and 1883, and those 

 marked ^ are additional to the Yorkshire lists, as given in the 

 Transactions of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union. Mr. Cameron very 

 kindly named all the Saw-flies for me. 



TENTHREDINA. 



Tenthredo olivacea Kl. 



Found a few of this insect amongst birch in Askham Bog 

 and Acomb Wood, 1882. 

 "^'Tenthredo lachlaniana Cam. 



I was fortunate in taking an example of this species in 1882. 

 It was new to Scotland in 1878. I believe this is the first record 

 of it for England. It is specially interesting, therefore, being 

 found in this locality (Holgate). 

 *'^*Tenthredo scalaris Kl. 



One example, Acomb Wood, 1883. 

 ^^-Tenthredo sordida Thoms. 



Found a good many of this interesting species in 1883. Its 

 beautiful yellow colour renders it a very conspicuous object when 

 beaten into an umbrella. Female, yellow j male, slender, dark 

 brown. From hawthorn. 

 "^'Macrophya albicincta Schr. 



One example of this, 1882. 



DOLERIDES. 



^'Dolerus vestigialis Kl. 



Took one of this insect, 1882. 

 "^Dolerus elongatus (?) Thoms. 

 Holgate. 



EMPHYTIDES. 



"^Tcecilosoma lutecium Kl. 



Bred this species from larva taken on Lysimachia vulgaris, 

 Askham Bog, 1882. 

 ^^Emphytus cingulatus 



Beaten out of oak, 1882. 



SELANDRIADES. 



"^'Selandria morio Fab. 



Taken in the York Nurseries, 1883. 



Dec. 1884.
