  thickened 
  and 
  slightly 
  compressed 
  laterally; 
  almost 
  bare. 
  

   Head 
  shining, 
  the 
  outer 
  orbits 
  at 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  the 
  

   middle 
  and 
  the 
  inner 
  from 
  the 
  top 
  to 
  shortly 
  below 
  the 
  

   middle, 
  yellowish. 
  Face 
  flat, 
  slightly 
  dilated 
  in 
  the 
  

   middle 
  below 
  the 
  antennae 
  ; 
  punctured, 
  the 
  punctures 
  at 
  

   the 
  sides 
  more 
  widely 
  separated 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  this 
  

   being 
  also 
  the 
  case 
  on 
  the 
  front 
  and 
  vertex. 
  Pro- 
  and 
  

   meso-thorax 
  closely 
  and 
  uniformly 
  punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  scu- 
  

   tellum 
  more 
  shining 
  and 
  sparsely 
  punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  median 
  

   segment 
  more 
  strongly 
  and 
  closer 
  punctured 
  than 
  the 
  

   mesonotum, 
  which 
  has 
  the 
  areas 
  all 
  clearly 
  defined. 
  

   Legs 
  blue, 
  the 
  coxae 
  closely 
  and 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  

   white 
  hair 
  ; 
  the 
  femora 
  sparsely 
  haired. 
  Areolet 
  nar- 
  

   rowed 
  at 
  the 
  top, 
  the 
  transverse 
  cubital 
  nervures 
  being 
  

   almost 
  united 
  ; 
  the 
  recurrent 
  nervure 
  is 
  received 
  in 
  the 
  

   apical 
  third 
  of 
  the 
  areolet. 
  Abdomen 
  closely 
  and 
  strongly 
  

   punctured; 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  petiole 
  raised; 
  the 
  raised 
  

   part 
  clearly 
  margined 
  and 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  sides 
  ; 
  this 
  

   raised 
  part 
  is 
  longitudinally 
  striated. 
  Gastrocoeli 
  wide, 
  

   deep 
  ; 
  their 
  sides 
  obliquely 
  striated 
  ; 
  the 
  part 
  between 
  

   the 
  gastrocoeli 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  longitudinally 
  at 
  the 
  sides, 
  

   especially 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  more 
  strongly 
  obliquely, 
  striolated. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  has 
  the 
  antennas 
  thickened 
  towards 
  the 
  

   apex 
  somewhat 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  in 
  Joppa, 
  but 
  I 
  cannot 
  look 
  upon 
  

   it 
  as 
  congeneric 
  with 
  the 
  American 
  species 
  of 
  Joppa. 
  

   Apart 
  from 
  the 
  dilated 
  antennae 
  (and 
  in 
  this 
  point 
  we 
  

   find 
  considerable 
  variation 
  in 
  Ichneumon) 
  I 
  can 
  find 
  

   nothing 
  whereby 
  to 
  distinguish 
  it 
  from 
  IchneuJiwn 
  as 
  

   generally 
  defined.
