Type in the author's collection. 



The variety zeylanicus is by far the commoner form that I 

 have received from Mr. Green from Ceylon, where it would 

 appear to be among the most abundant of ICHNEUMONID-E.

 flavous, with the ocellar region black. Antennce black, becoming 

 infuscate apically. Thorax with three broad black mesonotal 

 lines ; metanotuKi glabrous at its base and apex, its centre with

 apically ; propleurae subglabrous, mesopleurae centrally finely and 

 closely striate except above ; metapleurae finely and irregularly

Cameron has entirely omitted to indicate the locality, sex and 

 length of this species, which he notes as being distinct from the 

 Javanese Opliion plicatus, Brulle (Hist. Nat. Ins. Hym. iv, p. 145), 

 though it possesses a similarly black-marked mesonotum. I am 

 unacquainted with the species.
