fliaii in Ic/ineunioii, but not so broad as in Phitiililns. Tliore 

 uie seven abdoniinal segments; the last broad at the apex, 

 tuo thirds of the lenj^th of the penultimate; the ventral t'uld 

 extends to the apex ot tiie fourth segment. Areolet 5-;ingled ; 

 the discocnbital nervure unbroken; the transverse median 

 nervuro interstitial. Tarsi elosely spinose. The ovipositor is 

 lonp-j distinctly projecting, as long as the apical two segments 

 united. 



Tlje head is as wide as the thorax; it is large, but not 

 behind, tlie temples being short, the occiput rounded in- 

 wardly, the cheeks sharply margined. Labrum hidden. The 

 antennaj are longer than the body, slender, except at the 

 dilated apical part ; the basal joints of the flagellum elongate, 

 the tirst slightly longer than the second. Postpetiole striated. 

 The systematic po.-ition of this genus is not clear. The 

 form of the metanotum is as in the Ichneumonini, and it 

 cannot therefore be referred to the Joppini. Fur the present 

 I refer it to the t'ormer tribe. It is clearly related to the 

 Ceylonese Aluina, Cam. ; that genus may be known by the 

 areola being much wider compared with the length, by the 

 much wider temples, and by the discocubital nervure being 

 broken by a stump. Tlie form of the metanotal areohi 

 ••separates the Ceylonese Deniya from it; that genus may be 

 lurther known by the almost obsolete temples, transversa 

 occiput, and by the apex of the clypeus being rounded.

 the ocelli), the front, and the occiput except the outer edge-*, 

 a line on the top and bottom of prothorax, twi) narrow longisli 

 lines in the middle of the mesonotum, scutellar keels, scutel- 

 lum except for a conspicuous black conical mark in the centre, 

 postscutellum, an irregular mark in the centre of the lateral 

 basal area3 of the metanotum, the apical lateral areas, the 

 yellow extending slightly b low them, the greater part oi the 

 lower lialf of the mesopleura?, a large spot behind the hind 

 wings, the metapleurae frou) behind the middle, and the apices 

 of the abdomiiuil segments (the lines on tlie basal tnree 

 broad and dilated laterally — that on the fifth narrow and 

 interrupted in the middle, that on the sixth in the centre 

 only, and the last entirely), pale yellow. Legs fulvous; the 

 four anterior coxaj and trochanters pale yellow, the hinder 

 femora more reddish in tint; the hind coxaj yellow, fulvous on 

 the outer side and blackish at the apex above ; the apex of
