NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF INDIAN ICHNEUMONID-?E. 227 



with railway civilization has done little to alter. Had I 

 known before I met a tourist at Abisko that Kvickjock is now 

 to be reached from Lulea and Jockmock without the least difti- 

 culty, I think I should have divided my attention in Lapland 

 between these two places. As it was, I had made arrangements 

 to return by the Norwegian coast, and on July 15th (the weather 

 having again reverted to the worst), I determined to try ray luck 

 on the "other side," taking, the same afternoon, a steamer from 

 Narvik — which in its surroundings promises well for entomo- 

 logical research — and, after yet another cold and wet day, 

 arriving at Hammerfest towards the evening of the 16th.

ON SOME NEW GENEEA AND SPECIES OF INDIAN 

 ICHNEUMONIDiE. 



By p. Cameron. 



ICHNEUMONINI. 



Lissichneumon, gen. nov. 



Metauotum impunctate, shining ; the areola longer than wide, its 

 apex transverse, the base open, confluent with the lateral areae, the 

 lateral two being also confluent ; the spiracular area open at the base 

 on the outside ; the spiracles linear. Scutellum keeled at the base. 

 Petiole long, slender; the base slightly broader than it is high. 

 Ventral keel distinct to the apex of the fourth segment. Areolet large, 

 5-augled. Transverse median nervure received shortly beyond the 

 transverse basal ; the disco-cubital broken by a stump. 



The body is very smooth and shining ; tlie first abdominal segment 

 is longer and more slenderly built than usual, the post-petiole not 

 being defined, the apical half becoming gradually, but not much, 

 dilated ; there are ei^ht segments. Apices of tarsal joints spinose. 

 Apex of clypeus bluntly rounded. Gastracoeli shallow, small, smooth, 

 the apex widely distant from the base of the segment. Base of meta- 

 notum with a deep crenulated furrow. Labrum hidden. 



The precise affinities of this genus may be left over for dis- 

 cussion when the female becomes known. It should he known 

 by the very smooth and shining (including the metanotum) 

 body, by the confluent areola and lateral arese of metanotum, 

 and by the long, slender abdominal petiole. 



LissichneiLinon levis, sp. nov. 

 Black; smooth and shining, the pleurae, median segment and coxfe 

 thickly covered with long white pubescence ; the face, clypeus, man- 

 dibles except at the apex, a line on the inner orbits to opposite the 

 ocelli, a line, gradually narrowed above, on the lower two-thirds of the
