GENOTYPES OF SOME: ICHNEUMON-FLIES—-CUSHMAN 283 
Thorax rather strongly compressed; notaulices deep but very 
short; scutellum low, margined to middle; propodeum with very 
strong apical carina but without trace of basal carina; wings broad; 
legs relatively long and slender, hind femur nearly reaching apex 
of abdomen. Abdomen very slender, tergite 1 four times as long 
as broad at apex and with sides nearly parallel, tergite 2 more than 
twice as long as broad at base; ovipositor and sheath slender. 
Entirely bright ferruginous except for black antennae, hind tarsus, 
apex of middle tarsus, and the sheath; wings brassy hyaline with 
brilliant reflections, front wing broadly infumate apically, hind 
wing narrowly so. 
Type locality—Ecuador. 
Type —vU.S.N.M. No. 22171. 
A single female. 
Genus ZONOPIMPLA Ashmead 
Zonopimpla ASHMEAD, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 23, p. 55, 1900. (Genotype, 
Z. albicincta Ashmead, monobasic. ) 
The only specimen bearing the name label “Zonopimpla albicincta 
Ashm.” is from Peru, not Africa as indicated in the original descrip- 
tion. It agrees with the description in all but the metathoracic 
character of the second couplet under 11. The statement “meta- 
thorax areolated” should read metathorax not areolated, for in 
neither of the genera to which it applies is the propodeum at all 
areolated. 
The type of the genotype lacks the head and the prothorax. It 
is a polished, unsculptured, and highly ornamented /’piurus, repre- 
sentative of an apparently rather large group in the Neotropical 
region. The group bears the same relation to the Holarctic section 
of Hpiurus as does the Neotropical section of Calliephialtes to the 
Holarctic section. It exhibits much the same variation in abdom- 
inal, tarsal, and ovipositor structure as that of the Holarctic section. 
Enderlein’s proposed genotype of Zonopimpla, Z. ashmeadi En- 
derlein, appears to be a Calliephialtes on account of the long ovi- 
positor. Many species of Calliephialtes, including the genotype, 
have the second tergite in the female no longer than broad, which 
is the only character in Ashmead’s key separating Zonopimpla and 
Calliephialtes.
