DESCEIPTIONS AND NOTES ON SOME ICHNEUMON- 

 FLIES FROM JAVA. 



By S. A. RoHWER, 

 Of the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture. 



This paper, which is a contribution from the Branch of Forest 

 Insects, Bureau of Entomology, contains the descriptions of 10 new 

 species of Ichneumon-flies submitted for determination by Dr. 

 K. W. Dammerman. All of the species have been reared. The 

 types of all of them are in the United States National Museum. 



In the descriptions the term " reclivous nervellus " is used in place 

 of " nervellus postfurcal," as understood by Thomson and others. 



Genus ERIPTERNIMORPHA Viereck. 



The three species described below seem to belong to Eripternimor- 

 pha Viereck. This is especially true of the first species, which is 

 closely allied to the genotype of Viereck's genus. They resemble each 

 other in being black and in having the metathorax and legs (mostly) 

 red, but they may be separated by the following key : 



Wings unicolorous ; the third and apical half of the second tergite rufous 



scirpo 1)110 gae. 

 Wings with a cloud below the stigma ; second and third tergites black, the 



second with the posterior margin white 1. 



1. First tergite rufous javensis. 



First tergite blaclj dammermani. 



ERIPTERNIMORPHA SCIRPOPHAGAE, new species. 



Closely allied to Eripternimorpha schoenohii Viereck, but the in- 

 termediate coxae are red instead of black, the postpetiole is broader 

 and has a median longituinal depression and the second tergite is 

 much wider posteriorly than long (not with the length and apical 

 width subequal). 



Female. — Length, 9 mm. Body opaque, closely, finely granular; 

 clypeus not separated from the face by a distinct suture, the apical 

 margin truncate; the area between the eyes distinctly longer than 

 wide; antennae filiform without an annulus, the third and fourth
