The antennfe are much shorter proportionately than in 

 other species of the genus ; the areas of the median segment 

 closely resemble those of C. similis, Krieg., as shown m his 

 figure; it also resembles that species in the unarmed angles 

 of the pronotum. In colour this closely resembles C. ui- 

 tiJiilus, Mori. J and may possibly prove to be identical, but 

 Alorley gives no clue to the locality of the species, and his 

 type is not in the British Museum ; the length given for his 

 species is, however, only 11 mm., and he states that there is 

 a series of fovea? on the hind tiliiie, not a minute spine as in 

 the present species. The s|)ine is, however, so minute that 

 it might easily be overlooked, but the statement as to fovcae 

 could not correctly be applied to the present species. 1 have 

 been unable to detect the spine on the hind tibito of C. annii- 

 httus, Mori., and C. apicalis, Mori., though in Morley's table 

 it is said to be preseut in these species.

I took a female of this species at Kuranda, N. Queensland, 

 in May 1913 ; it answers almost exactly to the description. 

 The specimen assigned by Morley to this species with some 

 doubt (Kev. Ichneum. ii. p. 3iJ, 1'J13) is utterly distinct.
