Genus Cubocephalus Ratzeburg. 



Three species fall in this genus, as defined by the writer in his Clas- 

 sification of the Ichneumon Flies, although there is some doubt as to 

 its being the Cubocephalus of Ratzeburg, since it was identified from 

 description alone and I have not been able to confirm it by a study of 

 typical European specimens.
