bodies) upon dirty cards, sideways, with both wings tightly 

 fastened down in such a manner as to render the metanotal 

 structure and often that of the abdomen invisible. 



ICHNEUMONID.E. 



1. Ichneumon albidipes (p. 302, <?). — A male of the Cryptid 

 genus Gorijphus, Holmgr., 1868 = Melcha, Cam., 1899, and most 

 closely related to G. reticulatus, Cam. (' Spolia Zeylanica,' 1905, 

 p. 108, (? ). Black, with the face, except a narrow central line, 

 apex of scape beneath, apices of first and second segments, and 

 part of legs white ; antenna fract^e, areolet pentagonal, emitting 

 recurrent nervure from its centre ; nervellus indefinitely inter- 

 cepted at its extreme bottom ; length, 6 mm. One specimen. 



2. I. DivERSiPES (p. 302, S' ). — The male of a true Cryptus 

 {sensu Thorns.). It is the front of the head and not the frons 

 which is whitish, though the latter is narrowly concolorous on 

 either side, as are the mandibles centrally ; both metanotal 

 transcarinae are strong, and there is no " slight longitudinal 

 furrow "; the second and third segments are dull, and doubtless 

 discoloured, red ; anterior legs piceous, with part of front ones 

 paler ; wings probably hyaline in nature ; areolet small, sub- 

 quadrate, and higher than broad ; antennae fractae; length, 8 mm. 

 One specimen. 



8. I. LANCEOLATUS (p. 302, S). — A male of some Phseogenid ; 

 the metathoracic spiracles are small and quite circular ; pro- 

 bably an IscJinas, on account of its deeply impressed and elongate 

 notauli and strongly compressed anus. Antenna; fractal ; "the 

 hind borders of the segments luteous" means that the three 

 basal ones are apically red, and the seventh and most of the 

 eighth are indefinitely white ; not only are the hind tibiae con- 

 spicuously white at their base, but their second to fourth tarsal 

 joints are also white ; the wings are doubtless discoloured; the 

 areolet is large, weak, and subparallel-sided ; length, 6|- mm. 

 One specimen. 



4. I. iNsoLiTus (p. 302; ? only, <? lost). — This is Crat- 

 ichneumon annulator, F., ab. female, or a very closely allied 

 species, with the white hind tibial band nearly entire and close, 

 though not quite extending, to the base ; scopulae wanting ; 

 length, 6 mm. One specimen. 



5. IscHNOCERUs BiciNCTUs (p. 303, ? ). — Type lost. 



6. Cryptus variator (p. 303, ?). — Very like a red Indian 

 Cryptid of my acquaintance of the genus Aritranis, with head, 

 pro- and mesothorax, second segment before its apex, third to 

 fifth entirely, and the hind legs except their femoral base, black ; 

 antennae black and slender, centrally white-banded, basally 

 attenuate and apically fractae ; metathoracic spiracles small and 

 circular, basal transcarina and apophyses wanting ; terebra
