< r;tl ichneumon skinneri n. sp.— Dorsulum closely punctured, areola 

 nearly quadrate, the posterior border not distinctly curved. Face, legs and 

 scutellum mostly yellow. Abdomen variegated with black, yellow and fer- 

 ruginous. 



% 13 mm. — Face indistinctly rugoso-punctate medially, finely and closely 

 punctured on the borders, clypeus more strongly punctured and sparser. Cheeks 

 deeply confluently punctured, parts of tlagellum indistinctly articulated, first 

 joint longer than second, sides of the prothorax closely punctured above the 

 middle, rugose below. Dorsulum closely, almost rugosely punctate, opaque, 

 punctures distinct posteriorly, parapsidal grooves only faintly indicated. Meso- 

 pleurae not strongly margined, anteriorly well developed, closely punctured, 

 somewhat confluently, especially posteriorly. Scutellum closely punctured, 

 punctures separated. Areola truncate anteriorly, the enclosed space shining, 

 sparsely rugose. The other enclosures roughly margined, rugose shining, meta- 

 pleurse rugose punctate. Euclosed space of petiole not strongly margined, 

 striate posteriorly. Dorsal segments two, three and four, indistinctly sculp- 

 tured, rough opaque, the apical segments finely roughened, shining. 



Black. Clypeus, face, a line next to margin of eyes internally, to near apex ; 

 greater part of four anterior coxre, trochanters, femora and tibise, posterior tibiae 

 excepting a broad black anuulus, a dot on posterior angles of prothorax, tegulse, a 

 dot below scutellum, basal half of second and third, a narrow border laterally 

 and apical ly on fourth, fifth and sixth dorsal segments, yellow. Mandibles except 

 base, all tarsi, basal half of posterior femora in part, a band on secoud and third

% Length 8 mm. Clypeus sparsely punctured, punctures on face small, but 

 separated and distinct, quite uniformly arranged, cheeks and occiput rather

 than the second, the sutures apparent especially near apex. Propleura? with
