( 13<J ) VII. Further additions to Mr. Marshall's Catalogue of British Ichneumonidse. By John B. Bridgman, F.L.S. [Read March 7th, 1883.] It is not without much hesitation that I have ventured to publish this paper, containing as it does the descrip-tion of several insects which appear to me to be new : it is almost impossible, living in the country and being unable to spare time sufficient to stay in London long enough to hunt up all stray notes, to make oneself acquainted with all the descriptions that are written, to be certain that some of these insects may not have been previously named. I have described several species of the genus Hemiteles, Gr., which do not appear to be described in Gravenhorst, Batzeburg, or Taschenberg ; also some species of Batzeburg's genus Hemimachus, which he split off from Hemiteles, and which appears to contain only some males of Pezomachus, and which genus has no right to a separate existence. I have also de-scribed two very distinct females of Pezomachus, and the male of P. vagans, which I bred, with the female, from a spider's nest. Mr. Bignell has also been fortunate enough to breed both sexes of P. instahilis, var., and P. analis, var. I have again to thank the same gentlemen as last year, to whom I am indebted for much of the subject-matter of this paper ; also to the Bev. T. A. Marshall. ICHNEUMONULE. 1CHNEUMONIDES OXYPYGI. Ichneumon consimilis, Wesm. Wesm., Tentamen, 22, 2, 2 ; Ichn. Otia, 8, 3, $ , 2 ; Bern. Crit., 13. I have taken both sexes of this Ichneumon in Norfolk. The female I have had for some years ; the male I took last year at Cromer, in June. I have both the varieties of the male described by Wesmael, as well as another TRANS. ENT. SOC. 1883. — PART II.
