This is one of a series of papers based upon new genera and species 

 of Ichneumonoidea or Ichneumon flies, in most cases contained in 

 the collections of the U. S. National Museum and of such a nature 

 as to call for their early publication.

DOLICHOGENIDEA, new subgenus. 



Head with the facial line greater than the transfacial line, other-
