In the Zool. Rec. vi, 1869, p. 303, only the title of Foerster’s 
Synopsis der Familien und Gattungen der Ichneumonen was recorded. 
As the new names contained therein are gradually being brought into 
use by entomologists, and as they do not appear in any published list of 
zoological genera, it is thought advisable to record them at the present 
time. It must not be supposed that by so doing any opinion is expressed 
as to the wisdom, or even the legitimacy, of the course pursued by 
Foerster in proposing such a large number of neiv genera merely in the 
form of brief tables of characters without any reference whatever to 
the species of which the genera must consist. 
Foerster, in the Synopsis in question, Yerh. Yer. Rheinl. xxv, 
pp. 135-221, divides the Ichneumonidce into the following 36 families ; 
in each family only the new names are recorded here : — 
1. — Fam. Anomaloidce ; with Aphanistes, Qamposcopus , Habrotnyx , 
Schizopoma , p. 145, Erigorgus, Sympratis , Barylypa , Laphycles, Labro- 
rychus, Atrometus , Agrypon , p. 146, Foerster, t. c ., n. gg. 
2. — Fam. Tracliynotoidce ; with Eugnomus , p. 147, Foerster, t. c ., 
n- gg- 
3. — Fam. Porizonoidce ; with Probles , Proedrus , Barycnemis , A llopJirys ,
