NEW ORIENTAL AND AUSTRALIAN ICHNEUMONIDZ&

ONE PLATE AND EIGHT TEXT FIGURES 
This paper is based largely on specimens received from Prof. 
C. F. Baker, of the University of the Philippines, together with 
some from other sources. Most of the new species are from 
the Philippine Islands, though some few are from other islands, 
and still others from the Malay Peninsula. 
So many genera have been described from the two regions 
involved, without synoptic keys for distinguishing them, that 
it is only with the greatest difficulty that species from these 
regions can be referred to their proper genera. I have found 
this especially true with the Joppine that I have studied. 
When members of described genera have been located in the 
material studied, I have constructed synoptic keys to all ‘the 
species known from the two regions involved. 
All of the text figures have been drawn by me, while the 
plate is from a photograph by Herbert S. Barber, of the Bureau 
of Entomology. 
Genus ACANTHOJOPPA Cameron 
Fifteen species of this genus have been described by Cameron, 
all from India and Borneo and mostly from single specimens, 
while, as Morley * has indicated, Cryptus praepes Bingham from 
the Philippine Islands also belongs here. Morley tabulated 
thirteen of Cameron’s species, omitting nigrinerva and cincti- 
cornis, the latter described in Anisobas and later? referred by 
its author to the present genus. Morley suggests that Acan- 
thojoppa and Xanthojoppa Cameron are perhaps not distinct 
though easily separated by the strong and complete propodeal 
carine in the former and their lack in the latter. He forthwith 
includes in the present genus two species, lutea and curtispina,
