Genotype: Rhyssa terminalis BruUe. 



The head is square with a distinct carina between the antennae. 

 The antennae are long and filiform. The mesonotum is trans- 

 versely rugose. The propodeum is distinctly areolated anteriorly, 

 but posteriorly is less distinctly so. The transverse median 

 nervure is straight, not broken. The sub-discoidal nervure origi- 

 nates from the median vein far beyond the apex of the sub-median 

 cell. The areolet in the fore-wing is trapezoidal or three cor- 

 nered, sessile, or shortly petiolated. The abdomen is long and 

 cylindrical, with an ovipositor as long or longer than the body. 

 The largest species usually have a dark spot in the tip of the 

 wing. 



Table to Species 



This table is taken from Morley's Revision of Ichneumonidae, 

 Part II. The types of these two species are in the British Mu- 

 seum, and therefore Mr. Morley has had an opportunity to ex- 

 amine them. Not having seen Mocsary's paper -" I am unable 

 to include his species.
