1912] Brazilian Ichneumonide and Braconide 211 
parapsidal grooves, the median lobe extending far forward of the lateral 
ones; scutellum flat, with a pair of large foveze at its base; postscutellum 
produced into a minute spine or tubercle. Metathorax not areolated, 
but covered with well-separated rounded shallow impressions above. 
Along the median line there is an indistinct carina with a series of these 
impressions on each side, then a narrow smooth space reaching back to 
the middle of the segment, followed by a lateral area of impressions. 
The metapleure are smooth above and very coarsely reticulate below; 
apex of metanotum with three deep impressions. Mesopleura smooth, 
separated from the metapleura by a deeply impressed line composed of 
large foveate punctures. Thorax as a whole long and somewhat flat- 
tened. Abdomen as long as the head and thorax; first segment but 
little widened behind, carinate; second and third tuberculate; first two 
segments longitudinally aciculate; second and third fused. Ovipositor 
long. Legs stout, the fore tibiz in front with a series of five short, 
thorn-like spines. Tarsal claws small, simple. Wings as in Binarea, 
the submedian cell longer than the median; radial cell in hind pair 
divided by a cross-vein. 
Type: P.manni sp. nov. 
This is a most remarkable form on account of the peculiar 
sculpture of the metanotum. It is very clearly related to Binarea. 
Parabinarea manni sp. nov. 
Female. Length 8-11 mm., ovipositor 7-S mm. Fulvous and 
black, the wings yellowish, bifasciate with black. The fulvous color is 
distributed as follows; tegule; entire metathorax; first four segments of 
abdomen and often fifth, except for spot in front and a band behind; 
fore coxee almost entirely; anterior and middle legs, except tips of last 
tarsal joint; hind legs on second joint of trochanters, basal four-fifths of 
femora, and basal third of their tibize. Palpi pale yellow. The apex of the 
hind wing, and that of the fore wing beyond the basal fourth of the 
third cubital cell is black, and the black cross-band on the fore wing 
embraces the stigma and wing from the origin of the cubitus to the 
origin of the radius; there is a faint oblique hyaline streak in the first 
cubital cell and a hyaline spot below the insertion of the recurrent 
nervure. Head smooth above, the frontal depression immargined, 
shallow, almost surrounding a small elevation which bears the closely 
approximated ocelli. Face finely rugose at the middle, very coarsely 
so on the sides, the furrow between the antennal tubercles not extending 
down onto the face. Cheeks finely punctulate, malar space two-thirds 
as long as the diameter of the eye. Head behind punctulate and 
sparsely clothed with long white hair which is also present on the orbits, 
clypeus and sides of the face. Palpi long and slender. Pronotum 
above impunctate; pleuree punctate, with an oblique carina for their 
entire length. Triangular part of pronotum that extends toward the 
tegule separated from the collar by an oblique impression that bears a 
number of raised cross-lines. Mesonotum smooth, the parapsidal 
furrows strongly convergent, not reaching the scutellum, but continued
