Ichneumoniclre in the British Museum. 37 



penultimate joints combined. Mandibles bidentate at the 

 apex ; clypeus broadly truncate at the apex, closely punc- 

 tured ; face closely and finely punctured, slightly raised 

 longitudinally in the middle and on the inner orbits. Eyes 

 parallel on the face, separated from the mandibles by a 

 distance distinctly exceeding the breadth of the mandibles at 

 their base. Front deeply concave in the middle, smooth and 

 shining, with a median carina reaching the anterior ocellus, 

 finely punctured along the inner orbits. Vertex shining, 

 very sparsely punctured, the head transverse, scarcely nar- 

 rowed behind the eyes. Notauli deep ; mesonotum shining, 

 with a few fine scattered punctures, more closely punctured 

 on the middle of the median lobe; mesopleuras finely and 

 rather sparsely punctured; scutellum smooth and shining, 

 with a deep, transverse, longitudinally striated groove at the 

 base ; postscutellum strongly concave laterally. Median 

 segment short; areola rectangular, nearly twice as broad as 

 long, external areas well defined ; the apical slope of the 

 segment oblique, shining and almost smooth, with three 

 rather strong arched stria? at the base ; spiracles large, ellip- 

 tical. Abdomen smooth and shining ; first segment broadened 

 from the base, at least twice as long as its apical breadth ; 

 second segment at least twice as broad at the apex as long. 

 Radial cell at the apex further from the stigma than from the 

 apex of the wing; second recurrent nervure received well 

 beyond the transverse cubital nervure; nervulus prefurcal ; 

 disco-cubital nervure with a distinct ramellus ; nervellus 

 intercepted close to the middle. Hind legs long and stout ; 

 coxae sparsely, femora closely punctured ; hind metatarsus a 

 little shorter than the four apical tarsal joints combined ; 

 tarsal ungues very large. Hypopygium lanceolate, produced 

 beyond the apex of the abdomen.

This differs structurally from the European Phcenolobus 

 arator, Rossi, in the presence of a ramellus on the fore wing 

 and in sculpture, but can hardly be separated generically.
