MR. J. B. BRIDGMAN ON IIYMENOPTERA IN THE 
accounts for most of these notices of captures being recorded from 
that locality. I found there many specimens of Glypta , principally 
bifoveolata, Gr. ; and while thinking over what I had taken, the 
thought struck me I would finish this paper with some remarks 
on that genus, a table of the British species, and a list of the 
hosts of such as I have received from several entomologists, who 
have, fortunately for me, bred them, and to whom I am deeply 
indebted. Every one of the new species I have described has 
been thus sent to me. 
Glypta is a well-marked genus of the family of Pimplides, and 
is easily known by its elongated body, sessile abdomen, and long 
ovipositor. The second, third, and fourth segments of the abdomen 
have two deep diverging lines on each of the three segments ; 
the ovipositor varies from a little shorter than the abdomen to 
longer than the body ; the general colour of the body is black, and 
greater part of the legs red. Two species have the head and thorax 
more or less red — G. ruficeps and lineata. Two species have the 
abdomen almost entirely red — monoceros and rufata. Three have 
the scutellum and thorax marked with yellow — G. flavolineata, 
evanescens, and cicatricosa. The majority have the abdomen black, 
sometimes with the apical margin of the segments more or less red ; 
while two have the middle of the abdomen more or less red — 
fronticornis and rubicunda. The legs are generally red ; very 
few have the hind tibiie and tarsi white, annulated with black. 
The coxie may be either red or black; very rarely the first joint 
of the antenme is yellow beneath. They are dull or slightly shining, 
closely punctate. The wings rarely have an areolet, never in the 
species at present known as British. A few have a short horn on 
the forehead just above the antennae, and one has two horns. 
The segments of the abdomen are generally transverse, wider 
than long ; rarely longer than wide. There is only one British 
Ichneumon that could by any possibility be put into this genus 
that does not belong to it, that is Lycorina tnangulifera. I know 
of only three specimens of this species which have been taken 
in Britain : one by Mr. Bignell at Plymouth, another by 
Mr. Harwood of Colchester; and the third, which I have, was 
bred from an unknown host by Mr. Atmore of Lynn, who kindly 
gave it to me.
