Wales, Wiltshire, and Devonshire, six specimens, of 
which one is a ? , distinguished by the length of the 
terebra. 
6. Aspilota maculipes, Hal.

Asp. macuUpes, Marsh., Species des Hym. d'Eur. et 
d'Alg., Bracon., vol. ii., p. 438, $ . 
§ . Radial areolet not quite reaching the tip of the wing. 
Similar to A. fuscicoimis (sp. 8). Deep black. Antennae short, 
stout, 15-18-jointed. Fovea of the mesonotum punctiform. 
Wings hyaline ; squamula brownish ; nervures distinct, blackish. 
Legs obscure, with the apex of the trochanters and base of the 
tibiae and tarsi pale. Terebra exserted, shorter than the abdo- 
men. Length, hardly 1 ; wings, 2 lines. 
Not known to me : the diagnosis is from Haliday, who 
appends the following note. Some specimens of this 
insect, with the metacarp rather stouter and black, do 
not differ much from concinna (sp. 4) ; others agree more 
nearly with Orthostigma pumila, Nees (var. already 
described). But many species of Section XV. {Aspilota) 
are dubious, and may possibly prove to be mere 
varieties. 
Found in England by Walker, and less commonly in 
Ireland by Haliday. 
7. Aspilota prsecipua, Marsh. 
Aspilota prsecipiia. Marsh., Species des Hym. d'Eur. et 
d^ Alg., Bracon., vol. ii., p. 439, ^ $ . 
5 . Largest of the genus, almost 2 lines long ; antennae 27-29- 
jointed ; spiracles of the metathorax conspicuous, margined. 
Black, shining; 2nd abdominal segment sometimes obscurely 
rufescent at the base ; mandibles and palpi rufous. Antennae 
longer than the body, submoniliform, black, with the scape or the 
two basal joints rufous. Mesothoracic sutures effaced ; dorsal 
fovea sulciform ; metathorax rugose at the sides, having two oval 
smooth spaces in the middle, divided more or less distinctly by a 
rugose band. Wings hyaline ; squamula and nervures fuscous ; 
2nd abscissa twice as long as the 1st ; 2nd cubital areolet short, 
not narrowed towards the outer end ; let intercubital nervure much
