Sjyccies of Ichneumonidm from India. 235 



antennse, sparsely covered with pale hair. Clypeus smooth, blue 

 above, the middle sharply carinate, the apex with an oblique short 

 tooth on either side ; the labrum smooth, glabrous. Front keeled in 

 the centre, the keel bordered by some oblique one. Temples largely 

 developed, roundly narrowed. Prothorax smooth, longer than 

 broad, narrowed at the base, which is raised and distinctly separated ; 

 the middle of the pronotum forms almost a triangle. Mesonotum 

 with large, deep, scattered punctures; the furrows are narrow, 

 complete. Scutellum at the apex bordered with large, deep, irregular 

 punctures ; there being also a few in the centre ; the sides of the 

 post-scutellam with two large punctures. The three central keels 

 on the median segment are distinct and extend to the base of the 

 apical third, where the central keel roundly bifurcates ; the central 

 space is stoutly transversely striated ; the inner lateral area is finely 

 and closely, the outer more stoutly and widely striated ; at the apex 

 are three transverse keels, the apical being more widely separated 

 from the posterior than the latter are from each other ; from the 

 hinder keel another projects backwards into the bifurcated apex of 

 the central keel ; the projecting apex in the centre is smooth, 

 broader than long, and has the apical third depressed ; the lateral 

 teeth are large and somewhat triangular. The apex of the segment 

 has an almost perjiendicular slope, is transversely striated, rather 

 irregularly at the base, more closely and regularly in the middle 

 and apex, where it is thickly covered with long white hair. Meso- 

 pleurte stoutly, deeply, irregularly punctured ; the tubercles large, 

 smooth and roundly convex ; the metapleurte with two stout longi- 

 tudinal keels ; the space between these is smooth at the base, the 

 rest with stout perpendicular keels ; the base in the centre is smooth, 

 its lower part and the apex stoutly, irregularly reticulated. Meso- 

 sternum irregularly punctured ; the process is long, narrowed at the 

 base, slightly narrower and rounded at the apex ; the inner side is 

 slightly raised, the centre hollowed. Legs black, the four hinder 

 coxse green, the basal half of the hinder femora red ; their apex and 

 the hinder tibiaj purple ; the tarsi thickly spinose ; the tooth on the 

 claws is placed shortly beyond the centre. Wings deep smoky- 

 violaceous ; the stigma and nervures black ; the apex of the radius 

 is rounded ; the appendicular cellule is almost open at the apex, 

 elongate ; the basal abscissae of the radius of equal length ; the 

 1st recurrent nervure is received in the middle, the 2nd near the 

 apex of the basal third of the cellule. Abdomen shining, very 

 smooth, purple ; the narrowed basal part of the petiole is as long 

 as the widened apical half ; the 2nd segment is slightly longer than 

 all the succeeding segments united. The sides and lower part of the 

 petiole are stoutly striated ; the striae on the sides are oblique.
