dark and spiracular lines, the white spot looking as though it 

 were a piece of the spiracular line, which it equals in width, 

 placed slightly above but touching the interrupted end of the 

 dark line. These markings are most pronounced on the spiracle- 

 bearing segments, the dark lines being scarcely discernible 

 on the second, third, and thirteenth. The white spots bear 

 an exceedingly fine hair, are one-sixty-fourth of an inch in 

 diameter, and are placed on the segment just midway between 

 the folds. 



The dorsal area is marked with a short, thick, dark dash, 

 situated on the anterior edge of each segment, and extending 

 down the centre of each about a quarter of its depth. A thin 

 light-coloured line extends in a similar manner from the 

 posterior edge of the segment towards the dark dash. The 

 combined length of these two lines equals half the depth of the 

 segment, the intervening space being the colour of the rest of 

 the dorsal area. On each side of the dark dash, level with its 

 hindmost point and midway between the centre of the back and 

 the subdorsal band, there is a white spot about half the size of 

 the spots near the spiracles. 



The under surface is very pale and faintly marbled with the 

 darker markings and whitish spots. 



DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW GENERA AND SPECIES 

 OF ICHNEUMONIDiE (XORIDINI) FROM BORNEO. 



By p. Cameron. 



Paraxylophrurus, gen. nov. 



Areolet small, four-angled, the transverse cubital nervures almost 

 united in front ; transverse median nervure interstitial ; disco-cubital 

 nervure unbroken ; transverse median nervure in hind wings broken 

 near the top. Head cubital, the temples of moderate size, roundly 

 dilated ; the occiput roundly incised, finely margined. Eyes large, 

 converging below, reaching almost to the base of the mandibles. 

 Mouth with a semicircular emargination. Mesonotum distinctly tri- 

 lobate. Abdomen smooth, the first segment as long as the following 

 two united, its under side toothed near the base, the narrowed basal 

 part behind the prominent spiracles of equal width ; the rest becomes 

 gradually widened towards the apex. Legs (and particularly the 

 hinder) long, the hind coxae about four times longer than wide ; claws 

 with a tooth at the base. Tibiae spinose, the anterior not contracted 

 at the base. Ovipositor long. Mandibles of equal length. The 

 middle lobe of mesonotum does not project above the lateral. Meta- 

 notum and metapleurae closely reticulated ; its spiracles rather small, 

 twice longer than wide. 



In Dr. Ashmead's classification this genus of Xoridini runs
