ART. 20. ICHNEUMON-FLIES OF TRIBE PANISCINI CUSHMAN. 31 



briefly but distinctly removed from eyes; eyes only slightly elevated 

 above general level of head, rather shallowly emarginate; antennae 

 rather stout, attenuate at apex, middle joints scarcely twice as long 

 as thick, basal joint of flagellum nearly as long as second and third 

 combined. Thorax shining; mesoscutum minutely punctate, notauli 

 distinct well on to disk; scutellum strongly margined to apex, the 

 space inclosed by the carinae narrow and strongly convergent 

 posteriorly; mesopleurum finely and rather densely punctate; 

 raetapleurum moderately convex but not elevated, slightly more 

 densely punctate than mesopleurum; propodeum weakly rounded, 

 transversely striate, apophyses moderate, area behind them irregu- 

 larly roughened, spiracle long oval; areolet subsessile, second 

 intercubitus sharply bent; second recurrent interstitial, curved 

 above, nearly straight below; nervulus postfurcal by two-thirds its 

 length; postnervulus broken at upper third: nervellus broken at 

 upper third: femora stout, hind femur distinctly less than two-thirds 

 as long as tibia; tarsi slender, hind tarsus slightly longer than tibia; 

 apical joint of middle tarsus about as long as third, which is fully 

 three times as long as thick, claws small with about ten large teeth. 

 Abdomen rather slender; first tergite fully four times as long as 

 broad at apex, spiracle at basal third; second tergite more than 

 twice as long as broad at base, the sides weakly divergent. 



Rufo-testaceous with face, frons, vertex and orbits yellow; antennae 

 concolorous, slightly darker at apex; tarsi slightly paler than the 

 rest of legs; wings hyaline, venation blackish, stigma and costa pale.

One female. 



PANISCUS PARDALIS, new species. 



Female. — Length 13 mm.; antennae (broken, but in paratype as 

 long as body) . 



Temples broad but narrower than eyes; eyes distinctly bulging, 

 rather shallowly emarginate; face much broader than long and a 

 third broader than frons, medially convex, sparsely punctate; clypeus 

 very short and broad, nearly flat, very broadly and weakly arcuately 

 truncate; frons flat, indistinctly transversely aciculate; ocelli dis- 

 tinctly separated from eyes; antennae slender, middle joints nearly 

 twice as long as thick, first joint on its shortest side not much longer 

 than second joint. Thorax shining; mesoscutum faintly coriaceous, 

 impunctate, notauli extending onto disk; scutellum similarly sculp- 

 tured, completely margined, space between carinae long, strongly 

 convergent; mesopleurum shining, very weakly and sparsely punctate, 

 the Y-shaped impression weak; metapleurum obliquely striate; 

 propodeum weakly rounded from base to apex, transversely striate, 

 apophyses very weak, spiracles long oval; areolet large, sessile,
