 ments 1, 2, and 3, and a large spot on the last segment are white; the 

 suture between the fourth and fifth dorsal segments of the abdomen

AMAUROMORPHA, ne^A^ genus. 



This new genus belongs to the tribe Lissonotini, and, on account of 

 the abdomen being petiolate, not sessile, falls into the section with the 

 genera Atropha Kriechl)aumer and Taschenhergia Schmiedeknecht. 



My table of the genera. Classification of the Ichneumon Flies, page 

 49, may be modified to include it as follows: 



Abdomen petiolate; head transverse. 



Metathorax exareolated, /';//(//»)! a transverse apical carina. (For further char- 

 acters see Classification). 



Atroplta Kriechbauraer and Tasclienhergia Schmiedeknecht 

 Metathorax exareolated, but luith an apical carina and a basal carina. 



Abdomen petiolate, the gaster finely, densely punctate, subsericeous, the 

 petiole very slightly and gradually thickened to the apex, sparsely punctate, 

 but not abruptly bent, the spiracles very minute placed at the middle; 

 parapsidal furrows not distinct, only vaguely indicated; metathorax rather 

 long, the spiracles elongate, linear; front wings wUhoiU a distinct areolct, 

 the submedian cell not cjuite as long as the median, the tranverse median 

 nervure joining the median vein just before the Ijasal nervure; transverse 

 median nervure in hind wings angularly l)roken abore the middle. 



Amauroniorpha, new genus 



22. AMAUROMORPHA METATHORACICA, new species. 



Female. — Length 9 nnn.; ovipositor about one-third the length of 

 the abdomen. Black, very finely, closely punctate, and clothed with 

 a fine, sericeous pubescence, the metathorax, the front legs, except the 

 coxa?, trochanters, and tarsi, the middle coxa? and femora, the hind 

 coxa? and the hind femora being orange red; antenna^ brown-black; 

 palpi black, but with the first joint narrowly yellowish at apex; wings
