ART. 21. NEW SPECIES OF ICHNEUMON-FLIES CUSHMAN. 21 



genus it disagrees in having the vertex rather broad transversely; 

 the antennal annulus entire; thorax rather short and robust; areolet 

 small, with recurrent beyond the middle; recurrent more strongly 

 oblique ; petiole not long and slender ; second tergite short and broad, 

 with spiracles at about the middle; postpetiole broader than long; 

 legs rather stout. It should be noted that the two species referred 

 to the genus by Thomson can not be run there in the original de- 

 scription because of the position of the spiracles of the second ter- 

 gite, and neither can therefore serve as the genotype. The annu- 

 lated antennae are so unusual in the Campopleginae and the species 

 agree so closely otherwise with Foerster's description that there can 

 be little doubt that they are properly referred to the genus. 



It will be noted that all the differences noted above between the 

 present species and Thomson's description, with the exception of the 

 one color character, are differences of habitus and venation, which 

 are of little importance in the Campoplegini. In the more impor- 

 tant characters annulated antennae, strong costulae, and long cal- 

 caria it agrees with, and even exceeds Thomson's species, Callidora 

 annellata. 



Female. — Lengih, 8 mm. ; antennae, 6 mm. 



Head transverse; temples strongly sloping; vertex behind ocelli 

 precipitous and medially impressed; vertex distinctly broader than 

 face; face and clypeus granularly opaque, with dense white pubes- 

 cence, separated by a very shallow, scarcely perceptible impression; 

 clypeus with apex narrowly reflexed and broadly submarginate ; 

 malar space half as long as basal width of mandible; ocelli rather 

 large, the ocellus, ocell-ocular line, and post-ocellar line in the ratio 

 of 1:1:1.5; flagellum rather stout, attenuate at apex, densely pilose. 

 Thorax, including propodeum, granularly opaque, short and thick, 

 the propodeum extending only slightly over base of coxae; lateral 

 impressions of pronotum and mesopleura transversely striate ; meso- 

 scutum very densely granular and densely white pubescent; pro- 

 podeum transversely striate near apex; median area slightly con- 

 cave; costulae strong; spiracles large, broadly oval; hind femora 

 and tibiae rather stout, tarsi slender, barely as long as tibiae, basal 

 joint as long as other four together, calcaria very long, inner one 

 two-thirds as long as basitarsus; areolet small, nearly triangular, 

 petiole longer than rest of first intercubitus ; disco-cubitus with- 

 out ramelhis; second recurrent and nervulus inclivous, latter 

 strongly j^ostf ureal. Abdomen rather short and broad; petiole 

 stout, postpetiole broader than long from spiracles, granular; sec- 

 ond tergite broader at apex than long, with distinct, transversely 

 oval gastrocoeli more than their length from base, spiracles at about 

 middle; suture between second and third tergites constricted; apex 

 of abdomen slightly compressed.
