NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF INDIAN ICIINEUMONID^E. 229 



verse median nervure interstitial ; disco-cubital brolcen by a minute 

 stump. 



What I take to be the male has the hind legs almost entirely 

 black and the four anterior are darker coloured ; the apex of the 

 scutellum is black. The antennse are black, stout, serrate 

 towards the apex. The fore coxae are for the greater part pale 

 yellow; the middle yellow at the apex ; the four posterior spurs 

 are blackish, not reddish as in the female. 



I should think, from their appearance, that the coloration 

 of the legs varies a good deal. 



This species appears to agree with Stenodontus {Gnathoxys, 

 WesmO, except that the scutellum is keeled laterally to shortly 

 beyond the middle : according to the generic definitions Steno- 

 dontus has it margined only at base. 



JOPPINI. 



Glyptojoppa, gen. no v. 



Scutellum roundly convex, rounded behind ; the sides not mar- 

 gined. Metanotum deeply, widely depressed at the base, the areola 

 horseshoe-shaped ; the other areas distinct ; the segment is short and 

 with the sides broadly rounded. Areolet 5-angled, wide in front ; the 

 disco-cubital nervure broken by a very long stump ; the transverse 

 median nervure received distinctly beyond the transverse basal. Post- 

 petiole wide, clearly separated ; there is a distinct, deep, transverse 

 furrow at the base of the third segment ; it is closely striated. 



The antennae are short, taper towards the apex, and are serrate. 

 Temples wide, obliquely, roundly narrowed ; the occiput slightly in- 

 cised. Wings yellowish hyaline, the apex clouded. 



The metanotum is more regularly areolated than in typical 

 Joppini, but in other respects it agrees more with that group 

 than with the Ichneumonini, e. g., in the form of the scutellum, 

 and in the deep depression at the base of the metanotum. Its 

 characteristic features are the roundly convex scutellum, deeply 

 depressed base of metanotum, horseshoe-shaped areola, and the 

 deep, striated furrow at the base of the third abdominal segment. 



Glyptojoppa sidcata, sp. nov. 

 Testaceous, the mesonotum more rufous in tint ; the breast, the 

 antennas towards the apex and the furrows at the base of the third 

 abdominal segment, black ; wings hyaline, tinged with yellow ; the 

 apex from the stigma smoky ; the stigma and nervures testaceous. 

 (? . Length 14 mm. 



Middle Tenasserim, Salween Valley. July (C. T. Bingham). 



Head and thorax closely, distinctly punctured, covered with a short 

 fulvous pile ; the scutellum has a longer pile ; the median segment 

 more rugosely punctured and with a longer and denser pile. Abdomen 

 closely, distinctly punctured, the post-petiole more strongly than the 

 rest ; the gastracoeli deep, with three oblique keels on the outer side
