432 ICHNEUMOXIDJB. 



Areolet subcomplete and sessile, its outer nervure weak and 

 obsolete in its lower half, but with the external cubital distinctly 

 recurved beyond the second recurrent nervure ; stigma distinct 

 though narrow ; second recurrent emitted far beyond the first 

 submarginal nervure; anal nervure emitted from but slightly 

 above centre of first recurrent, which is distinctly before centre of 

 first cubital cell ; basal nervure continuous through the median ; 

 internal cubital somewhat strongly curved ; nervellus strong, 

 straight and not intercepted ; ueuration of hind wings strong to 

 apex, with the basal abscissa of the radial as long as the recurrent 

 nervure. 



Range. Ceylon. 



In the conformation of the abdomen and, except the somewhat 

 distinct areolet, of the wing, this genus is essentially Anomaloid ; 

 but the entirely glabrous mesonotum and scutellum, its general 

 paucity of sculpture and subentire areolet, the apically unproduced 

 inetathorax, and subnormal hind tarsi, appear to preclude it there- 

 from ; it is even less conformable to the CAMPOPLEGIDES or Pimplid 

 THYMAEIDES, though in some respects allied to Diader/ma, Mori. 

 In default of a better position and a knowledge of the $ , I leave 

 it provisionally among the ANOMALIDES, where it is most closely 

 allied to Acjrypon, though the calcarial length is fully double the 

 apical tibia! breadth.
