a broader one on their middle, and an annul us at base of their tarsi, 

 3'ellowish white; rest of hind tibi* and tarsi black. Wings faintly 

 tinged with fuscous, the stigma and internal veins black or dark 

 fuscous. 



The metathorax has an apical area indicated, the surface, within 

 punctate. The first abdominal segment is not longer than wide.

EPIURUS PERSIMILIS, new species. 



Fniiidr. — Length 11 nua. ; o\' ipositor as long as the abdomen. \^v\ 

 similar to E. lK(h})iensln^ except as follows: The antenna' are wholly 

 black, except the extreme apex of the scape, which is white; the front 

 legs, except the femora, the middle legs, except the coxa^ and femora, 

 and the hind trochanters and hind til)ia' at basal two-thirds, except a 

 nai-row black annulus near the base, are yeilowisli white, rest of legs, 

 except the apical third of hind tarsi, the annulus near the base, and the 

 hind tarsi, which are black, being rufous; metanotum without an area 

 at base, the median space smooth, impunctate; first abdominal seg- 

 ment a little longer than wide.

NESOPIMPLA, new genus. 



In my generic table of the /*/y//^>//;//, Classification of the Ichneumon 

 Flies, 1900, page 58, this new genus will fall in with It()j>lecf!s Forster 

 and Eremochila Forster, the claws not being toothed at base and the 

 metathoracic spiracles being round, but from both it is easily separated 

 by the areolet of the front wings, which is irregularly' pentagonal in 

 shape, resembling that found among the Phygadeuonini; the trans- 

 verse median nervure in the front wings is interstitial with the basal 

 nervure, while in the hind wings it is broken l)y the subdiscoidal 

 nervure far above the middle; the metathorax has two distinct longi- 

 tudinal carina that diverge posteriorly and end just over the insertion 

 of the hind coxa; the abdomen is nmch as in Plinphi Fabricius, the 

 apex of segments 2 to tumid, 8 to (I with transverse impressions a 

 little bej'ond the lateral middle, the second segment with the trans- 

 verse impression distinct only laterally at the apical angles, broadly 

 interrupted at the middle. 



NESOPIMPLA NARANYiE, new species. 



Plate XIII, fig. 3. 



Female. — Length l>.o nuu.; ovipositor short, less than one-third the 

 length of the abdomen. Head, tiiorax, and the abdominal segments 

 6 to 8, except nairowly at apex black, the abdominal segments 1 to 5,
