68 ICHNEUMONID.i:. 



Type in the Oxford Museum, 



This species " agrees closely iu coloration with Eur/alta aJbitarsis, 

 but differs in having the median segment [metathorax] entirely 

 black, in the complete areolet, in the hase of the postsciitellum 

 bein"' rounded, not depressed, and with the sides margined, in tlie 

 median segment not being furrowed at the base, in the base of the 

 petiole being broadly white, and iu having on its underside, near 

 the base, a curved sharp tooth " (Cameron, loc. cit.). 



To the above description I will add that the hea(l is buccate and 

 posteriorly hardly narrower than the internally subparallel, and 

 not at all emarginate, eyes ; that the metanotum is evenly and 

 strongiv rugose throughout, with no trace of arene, and apically 

 produced on either side of the petiole, its spiracles being minute 

 and distinctly oval ; the hypopygium does not extend to the base 

 -of the terebra ; the subpetiolar spine is reduced, in the 5 I have 

 examined, to little more than a tubercle (it is part of the ventral 

 plication, and doubtless varies iu desiccation) ; and the second 

 recurrent uervure of the lower wings is ver}'- strongly postfurcal 

 and intercepted at its upper fifth.

$ . A black and slender species, with the legs mainly ochraceous, 

 prothorax flavous and wings apically infumate. Head unusually 

 narrow and not bordered behind the internally entire eyes ; face 

 laterally glabrous and flavous, centrally strongly punctate and 

 longitudinally subelevated ; frous more narrowly flavous and very 

 sparsely punctate ; cljqDeus flavous and deplanate, centrally sub- 

 impressed and apically rounded ; mandibles and cheeks flavous. 

 Antennce slender, nearly filiform and but slightly shorter than the 

 bod}'-, rufesceut throughout, with the A'ery deeply excised scape 

 flavous beneath and basally infuscate above, lliorax cylindrical 

 and discally subdeplanate, black, with the prothorax, very short 

 lines before tegulae and two beneath each hind wing, flavous : 

 mesonotum strongly punctate and dull, with but obsolete notauli ; 

 luetathorax evenly punctate throughout to the apex, with no trace 

 ■of arese, the lateral carinae only apically strong, and the spiracles 

 transverse-linear. Scuiellam black and nitidulous. Abdomen very 

 slender, dull and shagreened, black, with the base of the segments 

 indefinitely rufesceut ; basal half of the elongate and subnitidulous 

 first segment ochraceous ; terebra (11 millim.) a little longer than 

 the apically subcompressed abdomen (9 miliim.), with the valvula) 

 very slender and hardly pilose. Ler/s strongly elongate and dull 

 flavous, with the hind femora, their coxtc (except basally), the 

 apices (broadly) and extreme base (very narrowly) of the hind 

 tibise, with their calcaria and the extreme base of their tarsi, 

 black. Wings somewhat strongly flavescent, Avitli the apices of 

 the anterior pair definitely infumate ; radius not arcuate above 

 the elongately petiolate areolet ; basal nervure continuous
