 This species is quite of tropical character, from its brilliancy and intense 

 blue opake wings ; the group which it represents is probably confined to warm 

 countries, and is eminently distinguished from all European Ichneumons by 

 the small spines which are scattered over its hind legs, as in many Pompi- 

 I'ldce. 



This splendid Ichneumon was taken at Port Famine.
