Genera and Species of llymenoptera. 499 



Antennae dark rufous; the flagellum blackish above. 

 Head thickly covered with short pale pubescence; the front 

 and vertex closely covered with round, not very deep punc- 

 tures ; the ocellar region black. Clypeus yellow, its edges 

 and a broad band down the middle black, the black edged 

 with rufous, sparsely punctured and thickly covered with 

 silvery pubescence, its top broadly roundly incised in the 

 middle ; the lower half of the outer orbits is black. Thorax 

 rufous ; the postscutellum and a large mark in the middle of 

 the metanotum (incised at the top and bottom) lemon-yellow. 

 Pro- and mesothorax with the scutellum closely and distinctly 

 punctured ; postscutellum smooth. Median segment obscurely 

 striated ; the yellow mark on it does not extend far below the 

 middle. The punctuation on the metapleurse is obscure. 

 Legs dark rufous, the coxas, trochanters, femora, and hinder 

 tibia? darker coloured ; the fore coxas largely, the middle 

 slightly, marked with pale yellow ; they are thickly covered 

 with white hair. Wings hyaline; the radial cellule and the 

 upper part of the apical cubital cellules smoky ; the top of 

 the second cubital cellule is as long as the space bounded by 

 the second recurrent and the second transverse cubital ner- 

 vines. The narrowed basal half of the petiole is black ; the 

 node is longish ; the petiole distinctly longer than the second 

 segment ; the second and following three segments are closely 

 punctured and thickly covered with pale hair ; the two yellow 

 maiks on the base of the second are irregular in shape; the 

 apical band is narrow. 



This species is closely related to /. artifex ; it may be 

 known from it by the metathorax being entirely black, except 

 for the yellow mark on the middle of the metanotum, by the 

 scutellum not being furrowed clown the middle, by the yellow 

 mark on the metanotum being smaller, it not extending much 

 beyond the middle, the pleurae entirely without yellow, and 

 the head is more broadly developed behind the eyes, especially 

 above.

Comes into Bingham's Section A a {I. c. p. 286), in which 

 it will form a new division, distinguished by having the second 

 and following segments of the abdomen black. Antenna? 

 ferruginous, the flagellum darker above. Head feiruginous
