Ichneumonidas in the British Museum. 43 



rugose-striate longitudinally, with distinct lateral carina?. 

 Median segment short, rugulose, witli a small basal area 

 which is narrowed towards the apex ; the apical carina forms 

 part of an arched carina which is continued in the lateral 

 carinas of the posterior slope ; spiracles small and rounded. 

 First tergite a little longer than its apical breadth, subsessile, 

 longitudinally striated, with a curved groove joining the two 

 spiracles, which are as far from the apex of the segment as 

 from each other. Second tergite nearly twice as broad at the 

 apex as long, granulate, with a coarsely longitudinally striated 

 groove before the apex ; third tergite coarsely granulate at 

 the base, with a broad curved groove beyond the middle, the 

 segment beyond the groove closely longitudinally striated ; 

 fourth tergite delicately longitudinally striated ; fifth and 

 sixth tergites shining, finely punctured ; apical segment 

 whitish and smooth. Valvulae projecting about 1 mm. beyond 

 the apex of the abdomen. Transverse cubital nervure very 

 short ; nervulus slightly pre-furcal. The fuscous band of the 

 fore wing is much narrower than in C. froggatti, and reaches 

 from the middle of the stigma to the middle of radial cell, 

 and thence crosses the wing, not quite reaching the lower 

 margin.

 almost entirely obliterated.
