Limnas, but agrees very well generically with L. Inaria, which set 
to me rather out of place where it is.

DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF BRACONID^ BELONGING TC 
GENUS NEW TO BRITAIN. 
BY THE REV. T. A. MABSHALL, M.A. 
Among some parasitic Eymenoptera forwarded to me for inspect 
by Mr. Champion, are two females of tbe genus Pambolus, Hal, E 
Mag,, iv, 49, c?= Dimeris, Euthe, Stett. Ent. Zeit., xvi, 329, $ $ ; 
ibid. XV, 344, ? only. This genus, hitherto known only on the Coi 
nent, is an interesting addition to our BraconidcB. The descril 
species are two, P. higlumis, Hal. {^ only), from Belgium,-and 
mirus, Euthe ( c? ? ), found under moss at the roots of an oak tt 
Berlin. Both are described as blackish, and may well be suspected 
being identical, in which case the name mirus, Euthe, must be dropp 
The very different coloration of the present individuals leading to i 
conclusion that they are new, they are here described as 
P. MELANOCEPHALUS, n. sp. 
Sub-apterus, rufus, capite nigro ; antennis apicem versus, abdomi 
segmento secundo, cum tarsorum npicibus,fuscis. Terebra abdominis 
midia parte paulo brevior. ? . Long. 1 — 14- Tin, 
Very finely punctulate, with pale, scattered, adpressed hairs. A 
tennae 15-jointed, pubescent, joints 7—15 fuscous. Wings halterifor 
Metathorax bispinose. Segment 1 longitudinally striolated, convi 
semicircular, divided from the 2nd by a deep incision. AU the rest 
the segments are concealed by the 2nd, so that the large, ovate, sessi 
and depressed abdomen appears bi-articulate, a character at once de 
sive of the genus. 
Mr. Champion informs me that he found " one specimen on t 
downs near Box Hill in moss, and the other in dead leaves at Daren 
"Wood." Both were taken last Octolfer.
