414 ICHNEUMON J J).'E. 



Genus MAGNIBUCCA, Mori. 

 Magnilmcca, Morley, IJev. Ichn. i>rit. Miis. ii, 19] 3, p. 79. 

 Genotvpe, M. testacea, Mori. 



Head posteriorly much broader than the eyes, with the vertex 

 broad and basally margined ; occiput perpendicular and concave ; 

 mandibles stout, margined below, their teeth strongly obtuse 

 apically, with the lower somewhat distinctly the shorter; eyes 

 glabrous, internally parallel and not emarginate ; clypeus apically 

 rounded and slightly but obtusely produced centrally ; face 

 deplanate and not discrete ; cheeks strongly bnccate ; frons 

 laterally convex and with a very line central carina. JS^otauli 

 obsolete and hardly impi'essed ; metathorax convex, with no 

 carinse ; spiracles elongate, ovate and not small. Scutellum 

 convex, large, apically subtruncate and laterally immarginate. 

 Abdomen fully twice the length of the head and thorax, laterally 

 compressed : basal segment glabrous and linear to its centre and 

 thence gradually dilated to the subapical spiracles. Legs stout 

 and not elongate, v.ith the. hind tarsi distinctly spatuliform, with 

 calcaria hardly longer than the breadth of the tibial apex. "Wings 

 not ample ; stigma distinct ; basal nervnre subpostfurcal, with the 

 lower basal strongly oblique ; iirst recurrent nervure emitted 

 before centre of first cubital cell, w hich is apically strongly obtuse 

 below; second reciUTent nervure continuous Avith the submarginal, 

 more than half fenestrate ; anal nervure emitted far above centre 

 of brachial cell ; all nervures distinct to apices of wings ; nervellus 

 strongly intercepted very slightly below its centre. 



Perhaps this genus is most closely allied in its continuous second 

 recurrent to the LapJiyctes grou]) of the genus Bayi/li/pa, but the 

 structure of the head is much closer to Exocliihim ; it is, however, 

 entirely distinct in the structure of its vertex and occiput, and the 

 peculiar coloration, which approximates it to Labrorychus amabilis, 

 Tosq., from Transcaspia.

Maynibucca testacea, Morlej, Rev. Iclm. Brit. Mus. ii, 1913, p. 80. 



A large, stout and entirely testaceous species, with only the 

 ocelli and disc of the second segment black. Head and thorax 

 coarsely punctate, with only the metanotum somewhat smoother. 

 Antenna; (broken) testaceous and multiarticulate, with the thirty 

 or forty basal Hagellar joints cylindrical ; scape hardly excised. 

 Winys distinctly tiavescent, with the radix, tegalse and stigma 

 fulvous.
