ICHNEUMONID.®. 
Tschek (Verb. z.-b. Wien, xxi. pp. 37-68), under the heading ^^Ichneu- 
monologische Fragmente, i.,” describes various new spp. (chiefly Austrian)

“ Kieferspinner ” (? En?iojnos liturarid). 
Ichneumonides. 
Tischbein (S. E. Z. xxxii. pp. 155-160) gives a list of the 
species of Ichneumon of which he has during 30 years observed 
hibernating individuals ; these are 37 in number (including 
two of the subgenus Phceogenes, Wesm., indicated as new) ; and 
a corresponding account is given of the times at which the same 
spp. are observed on the .wing ; but the point of his remarks is, 
that the hibernating individuals are invariably females, and 
that they are of the genus Ichneumon, W^esm., and never, or 
extremely seldom, of any other genera of the Ichneumonides, to 
which many of the genus Ichneumon are so closely allied. A
