1917] Brues—Ichneumonid Genera Cyanocryptus and Lamprocryptus 193 
LAMPROCRYPTUS CAMERON. 
Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., Vol. 35, p. 435 (1909). 
Type: L. kinbergi Holmgren. 
Schmiedeknecht first used the name in 1904 in his Opuscula 
Ichneumonologica without designating any type. In the Genera 
Insectorum (1909) he again lists ‘“‘Lamprocryptus nov. gen.” 
and describes six species, one of which has been designated as the 
genotype by Viereck who dates the genus from 1904. 
Cameron used the name in December 1909 and refers to the 
generic key in Schmiedeknecht’s 1904 paper, but through a pe- 
culiar lapsus attaches the name Lamprocryptus to his new genus. 
As Cameron’s genus hardly seems distinct from Cyanocryptus it 
appears unnecessary at the present time to propose a new name. 
Several South American species, including the new one de- 
scribed below, may be tentatively placed in Cyanocryptus, as 
follows.

Cyanocryptus fulgidus sp. nov. 
Female.- Length 11 mm., ovipositor 6 mm. Brilliant metal- 
lic blue with violaceous reflections, the latter most noticeable 
on the head, upper surface of thorax and on the first three seg- 
ments of abdomen; antennz black, without annulus; hind femora 
and tibiz bright ferruginous; front femora beneath and their 
tibiz entirely ferruginous; middle tibiz dull ferruginous; all 
tarsi black, the trochanters and the four anterior femora with the 
metallic reflections much less prenounced than on the body. 
Wings deeply infuscated, but not black. Head seen from above 
strongly emarginate both on the front and the occiput, the paired 
ocelli widely separated, farther from one another than from the 
eye margin. Face strongly convex medially, with a sharp de- 
pression on each side next to the eye below the insertion of the an-
