British entomology; being illustrations and descriptions of the genera of insects found in Great Britain and Ireland: containing coloured figures from nature of the most rare and beautiful species, and in many instances of the plants upon which they are found. hare nearly of equal size, form a regular hne across the supe-rior wings: indeed so great are the differences of structure,as well as economy of Bracoji and its congeners, that it is pro-bable when further investigated and better understood, theywill be found to form a natural and extensive family. The male of Bracon Denigrator, it is presumed, is very rareeven upon the continent, otherwise it would have been figuiedwith the other sex. That which is here represented, wastaken last year in Birchwood, Kent, and is now in the posses-sion of Mr. Stone; and the only female that I have seen, wascaptured by the Rev. W. Kirby, and is now in Mr. Stephenssfine collection. Panzer in his Fauna Germanica,fasc. 45. n. figured this sex. Fabricius says, that it frequents gardens upon the continent,where it appears to be not uncommon; and Latreille informsus, that the female deposits her eggs in the fruit of plants, es-pecially thistles. The plant figured is Cichorium Infyhus (Wild Succory). 73. ;/,. ?../c.,>M., CALCULATOR. Order Hymenoptera. Fam. Ichneumonidae Lat., Leach. Type of the Genus B. Calculator Fah.
