DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES 

 OF INDIAN ICHNEUMONIDiE. 



BY 



P. Cameron. 

 For the opportunity of describing of the new genera and species 

 recorded in this paper 1 am indebted to Lieut.-Col. C. G. Nurse by 

 whom they were taken. 



PIMPLIN^. 



XORIDINI. 



Agenora, gen. nov. 



Areolet large, 5 angled. Transverse median nervure interstitial. Trans- 

 verse median nervure in hind wings broken shortly below the middle. Median 

 segment areolated ; there is a triangular basal area ; a large areola, clearly 

 longer than wide, rounded at the base, transverse at the apex, 2 large Cater- 

 alarese, a spiracular area and one large one on the apical slope which is 

 surrounded above and on the sides by a stout keel. Parapsidal furrows 

 distinct ; there is a distinct furrow on the lower side of the mesopleurse. Head 

 cubital ; temples broad ; occiput margined. Abdominal petiole long and 

 slender, cylindrical, not perceptibly thickened towards the middle ; the 

 spiracles are placed almost in the middle. Anterior tibial not contracted at 

 the base, not inflated, their tarsi twice their length ; fore spurs large, broad, the 

 4 hinder minute. Occiput not quite transverse. 



I only know the ^ of this genus. In the arrangement of Ashmead (Proc. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. xxiii, 70.) it would come in near cabocephalus, Ratz., which may 

 be known from it by the transverse median nervure not being interstitial and 

 by the less completely areolated metanotum. Characteristic are the densely 

 haired head and thorax. 



Agenora hirticeps, sp. nov. 



Black, shining, the head and thorax densely covered with long white hair ; 

 the 4 front legs pale fulvous, pale yellow at the base ; the hind coxae and 

 femora red, the rest of them black ; wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures 

 black ; tegulse yellow. 



Length 9 mm. 



August. 



The oral region has got injured and its precise form cannot be made out. 

 Mandibles and palpi pale yellow ; the former are broad at the base, becoming 

 gradually narrowed towards the apex ; I am not sure if they have 1 or 2 

 teeth, from their being bent accidentaly inwardlly. Scutellum large, roundly 

 convex, but not much raised. First abdominal segment about one half longer 

 than the second ; it is covered with longish standing out white hair ; the other 

 segments with depressed white pubescence, which is thickest on the apical one. 

 Base of hind tibial narrowed and curved. The abdomen is more than twice the 

 Ungth of the thorax.
