 Hab. Mexico, Orizaba, Cordova l (Sumichrast). 



47. Ichneumon godmani. (Tab. VII. fig. 18.) 



Ferrugineus ; pleuris, metanoto, abdominis segmentis basi (petiolo fere toto), coxis, trochanteribus, femoribus, 

 tibiis metatarsisque posticis nigris ; medio antennarum flavo-testaceo ; alis fumatis, medio stigmateque 

 flavis. cf • 



Long, fere 15 millim. 



Hab. Guatemala, San Geronimo (Champion). 



Scabrous, covered with a white pubescence. Head buccate, slightly excavated above 

 the antennae ; eyes surrounded by a furrow ; clypeus rounded at the sides, transverse 

 at the apex. Scutellum not much elevated above the scutum, rising to the centre equally 

 from the base and apex, but more sharply from the former, smooth, shining, and covered 

 with large punctures. Metanotum coarsely punctured, smooth and shining on either 

 side of the upper median area : this is longer than broad, dilated at the sides, of equal 

 breadth at the base and apex, and has a short area at its base. The metanotum has a 

 gradual slope, and the lower median area is excavated. Petiole smooth, shining, hollow 

 in the centre, the sides keeled, the keels projecting into the middle of the postpetiole, 

 which is covered with large clearly separated punctures. Gastrocoeli large, double as wide 

 as long. The rest of the abdomen, like the thorax, scabrous ; the segments contracted 

 at the base. The four anterior legs are of a lighter ferruginous tint than the rest of the 

 body ; the four apical joints of the tarsi are yellowish testaceous, the spurs blackish. 

 The flagellum is slightly dentated on the underside ; the base and apex of the flagellum 

 tend to fuscous on the upperside. 



Easily known from the other species of this group by the black pleurae. As in the 

 allied species, there are no tubercles on the meta thorax. 



48. Ichneumon melanopoda. 



Ferrugineus ; antennarum apice, coxis posterioribus, femoribus, tibiis posticis, metatarsis, abdominisque seg- 

 mentis basi nigris ; alis fuscis, medio stigmateque flavis. c? • 

 Long. 13 millim. 



Hab. Guatemala, San Geronimo (Champion). 



Scabrous, covered with a griseous shining pubescence. Antennae as long as the 

 abdomen and half the thorax united, stout ; the apical joints produced on the underside ; 

 covered with a pale pubescence ; the third joint one fourth longer than the following. 

 Head dilated behind the eyes ; the face rather flat, scarcely projecting in the centre. 

 Scutellum with the sides abrupt, the centre with a gradual slope on either side. 

 Metathorax large, gradually sloping to the base of the abdomen, the centre slightly 

 hollowed ; the arese almost obsolete ; and without tubercles. Petiole a little depressed
