140 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Atoyac in Vera Cruz during May, and has the metathorax 
transaciculate, not ‘‘ deeply punctured,’ as Cresson describes 
it; the basal nervure is continuous. It was originally brought 
forward upon a single female collected in Comal Co. 
6. JoppIDIUM FUSCIPENNE, Brullé. 
Cryptus fuscipennis, Brullé, Nat. Hist. Ins. Hym. iv. 1846, 
p- 189, female; cf. Cam. Biologia Centr.-Amer. 1885, 
Hym. i. p. 211. J. yucatanense, Cam. lib. cit. p. 211, 
pl. ix. fig. 18, female. J. donabilis, Cress., Proc. Acad. 
Philad. 1878, p. 189, male and female. 
No doubt can, I think, be experienced that Brullé’s descrip- 
tion refers to J. donabile, and it was placed in the present genus 
by Cameron in 1885; the metathorax is rather transaciculate than 
‘‘rugueux,” but the ‘‘deux chevrons paralléles’’ are obviously 
the two transcarine, which are often centrally incomplete. It 
is an abundant Mexican species, found by Sumichrast at Cordova; 
subsequently described from a single female as new by Cameron 
from Valladolid in Yucatan (this type differs from the usual 
form of J. donabile only in its paler—by no means whitish, as 
ficured—flagellar base). I have examined eighty examples, 
among which the male much predominates, from Venta de 
Zopilote at 2800 ft. in October, Chilpancingo at 4600 ft. in July, 
Temex in northern Yucatan, Cuernavaca in Morelos in June, 
Acaguizotla at 3500 ft. in October, Guadalajara in Jalisco in 
July, and Dos Arroyos in Guerrero at 1000 ft. in September. 
This and J. ce@ruleipenne are the only Mexican species with 
entirely rufescent thorax and unicolorous wings. 
7. JOPpPIDIUM BELLICosuM, Hal. 
Cryptus bellicosus, Hal., Trans. Linn. Soc. 1886, xvil. p. 318, 
female. C. nitidipennis, Brullé, Nat. Hist. Ins. Hym. iv. 
1846, p. 188, female. Ichneumon macrocercus, Spin., Gay’s 
Hist. fis. Chile Zool. vi. 1851, p. 484, male and female. 
The above three authors record their species, which have not 
before been synonymised, respectively from the Straits of 
Magellan, Chili, and ‘‘Se halla en las provincias centrales, 
Santiago, &c.”” Dalla Torre misspells Spinola’s specific name ; 
and incorrectly associates Cryptus bellosus, Curt. (Aritranis signa- 
torius, Fab.), noted at Proc. Ent. Soc. iv. 1845, p. lvii, with 
Haliday’s species. This insect is very different from all the 
others of the present genus in its narrowly clear white internal 
orbits, and is probably worthy of generic rank in its slender and 
elongate antenne, short metathorax, small areolet, postfurcal 
upper basal nervure, and tremendously elongate terebra ; it is 
precluded from the genus Cryptus by the elongate cheeks and 
mandibles. The size varies considerably through the whole
