NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF INDIAN ICHNEUMONID^. 251 



PIMPLINiE. 



Bathymeris, gen. nov. 

 Face of equal width. Mandibles of unequal length. Clypeus 

 bordered laterally by a deep triangular furrow, and by a narrower one 

 above. Temples short, sharply dilated behind. Median segment 

 long, of equal width, closely reticulated. Wings without an areolet. 

 Transverse median nervure interstitial. Transverse median nervure 

 in hind wings broken largely above the middle. First abdominal 

 segment long, at the base half the width of the apex ; the second 

 segment longer than wide, the third square, the others wider than 

 long ; the abdomen is long, narrower than the thorax, tapering towards 

 the apex. Legs long, slender. Mandibles edentate, bluntly rounded 

 at the apex. The clypeus is broadly impressed at the base. The 

 antennre are of moderate length; the apical joints slightly serrate, 

 broader than long. There are no transverse or oblique depressions on 

 the abdominal segments. 



Comes close to Xorides, which may be known by the face 

 being distinctly narrowed in front and by the mandibles being 

 of equal length. 



Bathymeris longipes, sp. nov. 

 Black ; the face, a line, roundly curved below, on the lower part 

 of the propleuraB, tegulfe, the large tubercles, a long curved line, 

 narrowed below, under the hind wings, the base of the first abdominal 

 segment and the apices of the others more narrowly, yellow ; the four 

 front legs pale yellow, the hind femora reddish fulvous, the rest 

 yellow ; with the apical two-thirds of the coxae, apical joint of 

 trochanters, a mark of the same length on the apices of the femora 

 and tibiae and the apical joint of the tarsi, black. Wings hyaline, the 

 uervures and stigma black. ? . Length, 17 mm. ; terebra, 9 mm. 



Sikkim (Bingham). 



Head smooth, bare, except the cheeks, which are covered with 

 white pubescence. Mesonotum closely, finely punctured, the furrows 

 and the apical depression closely striated ; the scutellums are much 

 more coarsely punctured ; the median segment closely reticulated, 

 more finely on the sides than on the back. Pro- and mesopleurae 

 smooth, striated, finely below and round the tubercles. Basal three 

 segments of the abdomen closely, finely punctured except at the apex ; 

 the third less strongly than the others. Flagellum of antennas covered 

 with a microscopic pile ; the first joint is distinctly shorter than the 

 second. The hind coxfe are about four times longer than wide and 

 reach to the middle of the second abdominal segment. The clypeus 

 is broadly dilated round the edges with a broad depression above. 

 Ocelli in a triangle placed in front of the hinder edge of the eyes ; the 

 hinder separated from each other by about the same distance as they 

 are from the eyes. 



CRYPTlNiE. 



Rothne'yia fortispina, sp. nov. 

 Black ; the four front legs rufo-testaceous, the hind coxae, tro- 

 chanters and basal three-fourths of femora of a more reddish testa-
