SCHIZOLOMA. 403 



Genus SCHIZOLOMA, Wesm. 

 Schizoloma, Wesmael, Bull. Ac. Brux. 1849, p. 120. 



GENOTYPE, Ichneumon amictus, F. 



Head closely punctate and somewhat buccate posteriorly ; frons 

 with a central horn near base of antennae ; face not transverse, 

 gradually and strongly constricted towards the mouth ; clypeus 

 hardly discrete, laterally foveate, with its apex bilobed and 

 broadly reflexed ; eyes large, glabrous and broader below ; man- 

 dibular teeth very unequal in length, cheeks not excised. Antennae 

 somewhat shorter than the body. Thorax closely punctate ; 

 notauli feebly impressed ; metabhorax deeply impressed centrally 

 at the apex. Scutellum black, and longitudinally sulcate centrally. 

 Abdomen compressed, with the basal segment sublinear ; terebra 

 shortly exserted, with the valvulse narrowly lanceolate. Legs 

 slender ; hind tarsi spatuliform, with the basal joint almost double 

 the length of the second, their claws basally laminate and apically 

 strongly inflexed ; two basal joints of J strongly dilated. Kadius 

 emitted' before centre of stigma, basal nervure subcontinuous ; 

 nervellus postfurcal and intercepted above its centre ; first re- 

 current nervure emitted from centre of first cubital cell ; internal 

 cubital subcontinuous with the median nervure. 



Range. United States, Europe, India. 



This genus is quite distinct in the straight lower side of the 

 disco-cubital cell, which emits the first recurrent from its centre, 

 and in the reflexed clypeus.

Schizoloma fulvicorne, Cameron, Manch. Mem. 1899, p. 10-1 (3 $). 



Jlead black, with the face, the strongly punctate clypeus (except 

 basally), frontal orbits (more broadly below and subinterrupted 

 from vertical orbits), external orbits shortly, and mandibles 

 (except at their apices), flavous ; temples strongly, and vertex 

 more strongly, punctate. Antennce fulvous, becoming flavidous 

 apically ; scape flavous, with dense long pale hairs. Thorax 

 immaculate, with dense fulvescent pubescence; pro- and meso- 

 thorax closely and strongly punctate ; metathorax strongly 

 reticulate, " at the base the areae are longer than broad, in the 

 middle broader than long ; in the middle at the apex the keels 

 form a large area rounded and narrowed at the base, and having 

 inside of it three stout, slightly curved keels ; " propleurae centrally
