ICHNEUMON-FLIES OF AMERICA: 1. METOPIINAE 197 



a median apical transverse blackish mark. Sometimes the female 

 face and clypeus are marked with pale yellow in addition to the 

 constant broad border on upper margin of face. Antenna brownish 

 beneath; palpi brown; tegula brown, its base pale yellow; legs uni- 

 formly fulvous, except that the hind tarsus is brownish apically and 

 that in the male the front and middle coxae and the front trochanters 

 are more or less tinged with pale yellow. 



This species is structurally similar to a Palaearctic species com- 

 monly (but incorrectly) determined as Exochus prosopius Graven- 

 horst, 1829. It may prove to be a subspecies of it.
