NEW INDIAN ICHNEUMONID^. 727 



Base of mctunotum with 5 large area, including a spiracular ; the central is of 

 equal width and is fully twice longer than wide, there are 4 wide areal on the 

 apical slope, the central apical keel is received in the middle of the areola. 

 Spu-acles almost circular. Basal segment of abdomen sessile, twice longer than 

 wide ; the back on the basal half with 2 keels. Legs normal, longish, the claws 

 with long spines. The nervures in the hind wings are distinct, Clypeal fovese 

 large, bare, occiput bordered by a distinct keel. Basal joint of flagellum not 

 much longer than the 'ind. Face not much dilated. 



The affinities of this genus may be left over until the 9 is known. It comes 

 near Polyhlastus in the tables given by authors.

 except the basal half of the metatarsus blackish ; wings hyaline, the stitrma 

 testaceous, the nervures darker coloured. 



Length 6-7 mm. 



Simla, August. 



Shining, smooth, except the face, which is distinctly punctured; covered with 

 short pale pubescence, which is longest on the abdomen and on the metapleurse. 

 The basal segments of the abdomen are shagreened. 



Monohlastus orientalis^sip. nov. 



Black, the apex of the 2nd, the whole of the other abdominal segments and 

 the sheath of ovipositor bright ferruginous ; the anterior tibiae and tarsi below

 and legs densely covered with short white pubescence, wings hyaUne, the 

 nervures and stigma black ; the areolet distinctly appendiculated, the pedicle

 than the pleurai. Metanotum with 3 large areal on the basal part, the central 

 Deing the smaller and having the keels slightly curved, there being also a
