Ichneumonide in the British Museum. 55D 
groove on each side; mandibles bidentate at the apex. 
Third joint of the antennze twice as long as the fourth; front 
rather coarsely rugose, vertex closely punctured. Eyes con- 
vergent towards the clypeus, very narrowly separated from 
the base of the mandibles. Mesonotum very closely rugosely 
punctured ; propleuree and mesopleure closely punctured, the 
latter rather coarsely reticulate above. Median segment 
coarsely reticulate, longitudinally depressed in the middle, 
with lateral marginal carinze. Abdomen very slender, com- 
pressed laterally from the middle of the second segment ; 
first segment very long, the second shorter than the first but 
nearly twice as loug as the third. Basal joint of the hind 
tarsus a little more than twice as long as the second joint. 
Second recurrent nervure not interstitial with the transverse 
cubitus nervure ; the external cubital nervure not in a line 
with the internal ; nervulus distinctly postfurcal ; nervellus 
intercepted close to the middle.

Allied in neuration to EL. scaposum, Morley, from Queens- 
land, but differs in the black scape, in the somewhat shorter 
antennee, and in the ferruginous colour of the median segment 
and mesopleure. In both species the brachial cell is as long 
as the discoidal. The only other Australian species known 
to me in which the neuration is similar is £. atrichiosoma, 
Morley, which is closely allied. The hind metatarsi in the 
present species are shorter than in scaposum or atrichiosoma. 
I do not understand why Morley separates these two species 
so widely in his table; his statement that the “submarginal 
nervure is opposite or scutellum pale” in atrichiosoma is not 
accurate. In the other Australian species described by 
Morley under Evochilum the discoidal cell is longer than the 
first brachial, and in E. australasie, Morley, the second 
recurrent nervure is interstitial with the transverse cubital 
nervure, and the external and internal cubital nervures also 
continuous, thus contradicting the statement in Morley’s 
table “‘submarginal nervure antefurcal.” I have no doubt 
that. L. australasie has been placed in the wrong genus ; it 
answers well to the characters of Habronyx, Forst.
