1912] Brazilian Ichneumonide and Braconide 219 
One female from Para, Brazil (Wm. M. Mann) named after 
Prof. Starks, a member of the expedition. 
This species falls near two Brazilian species, J. hirtulus and 
I. semiflavus described by Szépligeti, but differs by its much 
longer ovipositor and different abdominal sculpture. 
Iphiaulax carapune sp. nov. 
Female. Length 9.5 mm.; ovipositor 3 mm. Black, with the 
apical two joints of the palpi pale yellow and the first four, and base of 
the fifth abdominal segments bright ferruginous. Wings with a black 
transverse band beginning at the origin of the basal vein and extending 
into the base of the radial cell, beyond this infuscated and basally pale 
yellowish; stigma wholly black; hind wings pale yellowish at base, 
infuscated on apical half. Head one-half wider than thick, obliquely 
narrowed behind the eyes. Front impressed on each side above the 
antennz and with a median carina that extends down between the short 
antennal tubercles. Face irregularly rugulose, the small clypeus 
distinguishable as a smooth spot; malar space short, one-fourth as long 
as the large, oval eye. Prothorax smooth on the sides, distinctly 
punctate medially. Mesonotum with smooth, parallel parapsidal 
furrows that extend to the posterior third. Scutellum convex, with a 
smooth impressed line across its base. Metanotum evenly rounded, 
without carine; punctulate on the sides. Mesopleura with a deep, 
oblique femoral furrow; and metapleura with a groove just external to 
the rounded-oval spiracles. Abdomen one-half broader than the 
thorax; first segment with an oval elevated portion that is rounded in 
front. On its sides is a pair of parallel smooth grooves, each separated 
from a second lateral smooth groove by a strong carina. Second 
segment with the middle field triangular, reaching beyond the middle 
of the segment and continued for a short distance as a raised line; sides 
and anterior angles separated by a very deep depression. Third seg- 
ment with the basal suture strongly bisinuate and crenulate; the anterior 
angles separated by very deep impressions; with a triangular middle 
field that reaches nearly to the middle. Fourth segment with the 
anterior corners separated and with a transverse groove near the center. 
This groove is repeated on the fifth segment, and less distinctly on the 
sixth. Hypopygium shorter than the pygidium. Legs short, stout, 
and densely hairy, especially the hind pair. Wings with the submedian 
cell barely longer than the median; recurrent nervure received at the 
tip of the first cubital cell; first section of radius one-third as long as 
the second and two-thirds as long as the first transverse cubitus; second 
transverse cubitus straight, perpendicular; discoidal vein broken at 
its lower third. Stigma narrowly triangular. 
One female, Rio Madeira Brazil (Camp No. 39, Madeira- 
Mamoré R. R.) (Mann and Baker). 
This species resembles J. polybothris Brullé, but differs 
structurally as well as in color.
