Closely punctured, covered with short white pubescence. 

 Scutellum roundly convex, keeled to near the apex. Areola 

 cotfin-shaped, fully twice longer than wide, open behind ; the 

 basal, lateral and middle lateral ai-eas separated. Post-petiole 

 slightly aciculated and with scattered punctures. 



This species does not tit into any of the subgenera of 

 Ichneumon. Characteristic are the keeled scutellum and the long 

 coffin-shaped areola. 



Lienella., gen. nov. 



Male. First transverse cubitus short, not much more than 

 twice longer than thick : the 2nd entii-ely absent. First joint of 

 flagellum fully longer than the second ; the antennae have at least 

 19 joints. Fyes large, parallel, not converging above or below ; 

 only the ocelli project above them : the hind ocelli are separated 

 from the eyes by more than half the distance they are from each 

 other. Malar space nearly as long as the antennal scape. Metano- 

 tnm regularly areolated, the area? large, distinct ; the base smooth, 

 depressed, bounded behind by a keel; the spiracles small, roundish- 

 oval. Face thickly covered with long white hair ; the clypeus 

 distinct from it, more convex. 



The discoidal cellule is closed at the apex ; the transverse 

 median nervure in hind wings angled below the middle, almost 

 unbroken, the longitudinal nervure being almost obliterated, the 

 i-adius and cubitus being also very faint. Legs normal, longish. 

 Parapsidal furrows not reaching to the apex of mesonotum, but 

 beyond the middle ; the middle lobe furrowed down the middle : 

 anal valves lai-ge, prominent. Clypeus projecting, rounded at the 

 apex, hiding somewhat the mandibles, which have 2 unequal 

 teeth. Discoidal cellule closed at the apex. Basal abscissa of 

 radius more than half the length of the second. Postpetiole 

 bi-carinate. 



This genus of Hemitelini comes close to Allocoia and Alas- 

 toneura, which may be known by the 1st transverse cubitus being 

 entirely wanting, the disco-cubital nervure being interstitial with 

 the radius, while here they are clearlj' separated, although the 

 transverse cubitus is very short.
