378 ICHXEUMOXIDJE. 



tlavous ; wings with two inf uinate fasciae and corneous marks, 

 stigma stramineous and the nervellus intercepted below its centre. 



Length 20 millim. 



MADRAS: Utakamand. 



Type in the Indian Museum. 



Extremely closely allied to the preceding species, but at once 

 recognised by the two conspicuous corneous alar marks in the 

 pellucid radial area, which is bounded at both extremities of the 

 stramineous stigma by a distinctly subinfumate mark, the meta- 

 thorax is darker, the uervellus geniculate far below its centre, the 

 apical half of the two basal segments are deter minately, and 

 the remainder of the abdomen vaguely, blackish. 



Genus ORIENTOSPILUS ; Mori.

GENOTYPE, 0. individuus, Mori. 



A genus of very large insects uniting the characters of Henico- 

 spilus and Allocamptiis, but differing from all other ICHXEUMOXIDJE, 

 except titaurojjodoctonns, with which I am acquainted in having 

 the mandibles horizontal and not vertical. Radial nervure basally 

 straight, iucrassate, and laterally iufumate ; first cubital cell with 

 a distinct glabrous area, and with corneous marks ; inetauotum 

 rugose, with no distinct transverse striae ; body broadly marked 

 with black. 



fiaiw/e. Ceylon, Assam. 



This genus has the fades of Stauropodoctonus, but the glabrous 

 area bears corneous marks ; in fact, it appears to have the same 

 relationship to it that Henicospilus has to 0/>7iion, and if it is 

 agreed to regard the two latter genera as distinct the present 

 must be separated from Stauropodoctomts, though on equally super- 

 ficial and artificial characters. Although Cameron examined the 

 mandibles of 0. reticulatus, he does not appear to have noticed 

 their peculiar horizontal position, nevertheless his description, 

 though somewhat superficial, and especially so in respect to the 

 venation, agrees entirely with the specimens for which I erected 

 this genus, since they are obviously not congeneric with Nenico- 

 spilus, and no other genus bears corneous alar marks. 



275. Orientospilus individuns, Mori. 



Orientospilus individum, Morley, Revis. Ichn. Brit. AIus. 1912, 



$ . Somewhat stout, bright testaceous and nitidulous, with the 

 eyes, ocelli, the hardly attenuate antennae except apically beneath, 

 and the hind tarsi deep black ; wings strongly fulvescent, with 

 their apical margin from the apex of the disco-cubital cell in nearly 

 a straight line to just within the apex of the nervure emitted from
