 Schizoloma, Wesmael, Bull. Ac. Bnix. 1849, p. li'O. 



GEN'OTrpE, Ichneumon amictas, F. 



Head closely punctate and somewhat buccate posteriorly ; frons 

 uith a central horn near base of antennae ; face not transverse, 

 gradually and strongly constricted towards the mouth ; clypeus 

 hardly discrete, laterally foveate, with its apex bilobed and 

 broadly reflexed ; eyes large, glabrous and broader below ; man- 

 dibular teeth very unequal in lengtli, cheeks not excised. Antennae 

 .somewhat shorter than the body. Thorax closely punctate ; 

 notanli feebly impressed ; metathorax deeply impressed centrally 

 at the apex. Scutellum black, and longitudinally sulcate centrally. 

 Abdomen compressed, with the basal segment sublinear ; terebra 

 sliortly exserted, with the valvulae narrowly lanceolate. Legs 

 slender ; hind tarsi spatuliform, with the basal joint almost double 

 the length of the second, their claws basally laminate and apieally 

 strongly inflexed ; two basal joints of S strongly dilated. Eadius 

 emitted before centre of stigma, basal nervure subcontinuous ; 

 nervellus postfurcal and intercepted above its centre ; first re- 

 current nervure emitted from centre of first cubital cell ; internal 

 cubital subcontinuous with the median nervure. 



lianr/e. United States, Europe, India. 



This genus is quite distinct in the straight lower side of the 

 disco-cubital cell, which emits the first recurrent from its centre, 

 and in the reflexed clypeus.

 reticulate, " at the base the area? are longer than broad, in the 

 middle broader than long ; in the middle at the apex the keels
