180 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Non-British species are marked with an asterisk (*) ; M. 

 aspersus is probably only an accidental introduction into the 

 British fauna. Mr. K. J. Morton has been good enough to assist 

 in the identification.

CRYPTIN^. 

 PHYGADEUONINI. ' 



Gavrana, gen. nov. 



Areolet 4-angled, the nervures uniting in front ; the cubitus obso- 

 lete beyond it. Disco-cubital nervure unbroken. Transverse basal 

 nervure interstitial. Transverse cubital nervure in hind wings broken 

 far below the middle. Scutellum roundly convex, broader than long ; 

 its sides stoutly keeled. Metanotum regularly areolated ; the areola 

 more than twice longer than wide, rounded at the base, transverse at 

 the apex, which is narrower than the base ; the spiracles small, twice 

 longer than wide. Apex of clypeus transverse ; labrum projecting. 

 Mandibles bidentate ; the upper tooth much longer than the lower. 

 Abdominal petiole long and slender. The basal joints of the autenna9 

 long ; the third is distmctly longer than the fourth. Face not thickly 

 covered with white pubescence. Parapsidal furrows not extended 

 to the middle of mesonotum. Metanotum shining, rugosely punc- 

 tured ; it has five apical arete. There are no dorsal keels on the first 

 abdominal segment. The radius originates behind the middle of the 

 stigma. Disco-cubital cellule at base much wider than the second 

 discoidal cellule at the apex. 



Belongs to the Phygadeuonini. In Dr. Ashmead's " System " 

 (Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxiii. 27) it would come near Isotima, Foer. 

 It looks more like an Ichneumon than a Cryptid. 



Gavrana maculipes, sp. nov. 

 Rufo-ferruginous ; the front and vertex broadly, occiput except at 

 the edges ; antennfe except for a white ring of three joints beyond the 

 middle, the sides of mesonotum narrowly, a broad line on the apical 

 half in the centre, the parts surrounding the base and sides of scutellum, 

 the space at the sides of post-scutellum, the base of metanotum nar- 

 rowly, a broad line, dilated at the apex, in the centre of propleurge, the 

 parts round the tubercles, the sutures at the apex of the mesopleurje, 

 and more broadly at the base of mesopleurfe, the apex of the hind 

 femora, their tibise more broadly, and the basal, second and apical joints 

 of hind tarsi, black. The following parts are yellow : the eye-orbits — 

 the hinder broadly below — face, clypeus, labrum, mandibles, palpi, the 

 top and bottom of propleurre, scutellar keels, apex of scutellum, post- 

 scutellum, apex of metanotum laterally, the breasts, the base of raeso-
