scutelluni, postscutelluiii, a hirj;e mark on tlie metapleurte 

 lehind the spiracles ami reaching to and enclosing the spines, 

 the tubercles, and a square mark (smaller than the one on the 

 metapleurje) on the base of the mesopleurae on the lower side, 

 yellow ; the apex of the propleurie closely longitudinally 

 striated in the middle; the metanotuin closely rugosely ])unc- 

 tured ; the sides on the apical slope stoutly irregularly reticu- 

 lated ; the supranicdian area is large, wider than long ; the 

 sides at the base rounded, the apex transverse; the base of" 

 the posterior median area is closely reticulated, the apex more 

 strongly, irregularly, transversely striated. Legs rufous ; 

 the coxje and trochanters black ; the knees are black and the 

 ta;si also, except the anterior at the base ; the anterior femora 

 and tibia? are tinged with yellow in front; the calearia dark 

 rufous. Wings hyaline, their basal half with a distinct 

 fulvous tinge ; the stigma and nervures testaceous ; the areolet 

 5-angled, at the top it is one third the length of the bottom ; 

 the recurrent nervure is received shortly beyond the middle. 

 Abdomen black, the apex of the petiole and a large mark on 

 the sides of all the segments at the apex yellow ; petiole 

 smooth and shining, except a shagreened space on the base 

 of the postpetiole ; the second and third segments are minutely 

 and closely punctured ; the basal slope of the gastrocoeli bears 

 stout curved stride. 



FiLEANTA, gen. nov. 



Mandibles without teeth, becoming gradually narrowed to 

 the apex, which is rounded, (^lypeus not separated by a 

 suture from the face, which is Hat ; the apex of the clypeus 

 transverse, foveate at the sides above. Occiput sharply 

 margined. Scutelluni roundly convex, not carinate. Median 

 segment completely areolated. Spiracles linear. Abdomen 

 bluntly rounded at the apex, the ventral keel extending to the 

 apex of the fourth segment ; there are seven segments. Legs, 

 and especially the posterior, long, the tarsi spinose. Wings 

 as in Ichneumon. Antennaj long, serrate towards the apex. 

 Labrum hidden. Gastrocoeli shallow. Head largely deve- 

 loped behind the eyes and sharply and obliquely narrowed 

 there. 



The legs, and especially the hinder pair, are longer than 

 usual ; the a|)cx of the hinder femora readies to the end of 

 the third segment ; the claws are long. The postscutellum is 

 not depressed laterally at the base. 



I unfortunately only know the male of this geims. Li the 

 mandibles having no teeth it agrees with the lleresiarchini.
