NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF INDIAN ICHNEUMONID^. 249 



Prolepta (FiiIgoridtB), Walker, 1851 = Cynthila, Stal, 1863, 

 type, apicalis (Westwood). 



Opinus, Lap. 1832 = Tapeimis, Lap. 1832 = Sminthocoris, 

 Distant, 1904, Fauu. Ind. Eh. ii. 275 and 279. As 0. pictas is 

 the type of Opinus, a not preoccupied name, I do not know 

 why Mr. Distant has added to the synonymy of this Keduviid 

 genus.

ON SOME NEW GENEKA AND SPECIES OF INDIAN 

 ICHNEUMONID^. 



By p. Cameron. 



(Concluded from p. 230.) 



OPHIONIN.E. 



Limneriitm himalayense, sp, nov. 



Black ; the four anterior coxre except at the apex, the posterior and 



the hinder trochanters, black ; the apex of the posterior tibite and the 



hind tarsi of a less deep black colour ; the apices of the four anterior 



coxse, their trochanters, the mandibles, except the teeth, palpi and 



tegulfe, yellow ; the rest of the legs red ; wings hyaline, the stigma 



fuscous, the nervures darker coloured ; the areolet oblique, distinctly 



appendiculated ; the recurrent nervure received shortly beyond the 



middle ; the space between it and the second transverse cubital 



nervure as long as the pedicle. Metanotum with only faint indications 



of keels at the base, there being no areae. ? . Length, nearly 5 mm. 



Simla. August (Nurse). 



Opaque, granular, sparsely covered with white pubescence, which 

 is longer and denser on the metathorax ; the sculpture is stronger on 

 the metanotum, the apical slope is obscurely transversely striated; 

 there is an obscure, oblique, irregularly punctured furrow below the 

 middle of the mesopleurse. AntennaB densely covered with stiff micro- 

 scopic pubescence. Tibias distinctly spiuose, clearly narrowed at the 

 base. Spurs white. 



Comes close to L. erythropus, described here ; it may be 

 known by the appendiculated areolet, by the greater part of the 

 four anterior coxaB being black, and by the black hinder tarsi 

 and apex of tibise, the hinder trochanters also being black, not 

 red. The ovipositor is short, about half a millimetre. 



Limnerium erythropus, sp. nov. 



Black ; the legs, except the hind coxae, which are black, and the 



four anterior trochanters, which are yellow ; the hind tarsi are in- 



fuscated ; the mandibles, palpi and tegulae yellow ; wings hyaline, the 



nervures and stigma black ; the areolet 4-angled ; the nervures
