bodies) upon dirty cards, sideways, with both wings tightly 

 fastened down in such a manner as to render the metanotal 

 structure and often that of the abdomen invisible. 



ICHNEUMONID^:. 



1. Ichneumon albidipes (p. 302, $ ). — A male of the Cryptid 

 genus Goryphus, Holmgr., 1868 = Melcha, Cam., 1899, and most 

 closely related to G. reticulatiis, Cam. (' Spolia Zeylanica,' 1905, 

 p. 108, $ ). Black, with the face, except a narrow central line, 

 apex of scape beneath, apices of first and second segments, and 

 part of legs white ; antennae fractae, areolet pentagonal, emitting 

 recurrent nervure from its centre ; nervellus indefinitely inter- 

 cepted at its extreme bottom ; length, 6 mm. One specimen. 



2. I. diversipes (p. 302, <?). — The male of a true Cryptus 

 (sensu Thorns.). It is the front of the head and not the frons 

 which is whitish, though the latter is narrowly concolorous on 

 either side, as are the mandibles centrally ; both metanotal 

 transcarinae are strong, and there is no " slight longitudinal 

 furrow "; the second and third segments are dull, and doubtless 

 discoloured, red ; anterior legs piceous, with part of front ones 

 paler ; wings probably hyaline in nature ; areolet small, sub- 

 quadrate, and higher than broad ;• antennae fractae; length, 8 mm. 

 One specimen. 



3. I. lanceolatus (p. 302, $). — A male of some Phaeogenid ; 

 the metathoracic spiracles are small and quite circular ; pro- 

 bably an Ischnus, on account of its deeply impressed and elongate 

 notauli and strongly compressed anus. Antennae fractae ; "the 

 hind borders of the segments luteous" means that the three 

 basal ones are apically red, and the seventh and most of the 

 eighth are indefinitely white ; not only are the hind tibiae con- 

 spicuously white at their base, but their second to fourth tarsal 

 joints are also white ; the wings are doubtless discoloured; the 

 areolet is large, weak, and subparallel-sided ; length, 6£ mm. 

 One specimen. 



4. I. insolitus (p. 302; ? only, $ lost). — This is Crat- 

 ichneumon annulator, F., ab. female, or a very closely allied 

 species, with the white hind tibial band nearly entire and close, 

 though not quite extending, to the base ; scopulae wanting ; 

 length, 6 mm. One specimen. 



5. Ischnocerus bicinctus (p. 303, ? ). — Type lost. 



6. Cryptus variator (p. 303, ? ). — Very like a red Indian 

 Cryptid of my acquaintance of the genus Aritranis, with head, 

 pro- and mesothorax, second segment before its apex, third to 

 fifth entirely, and the hind legs except their femoral base, black ; 

 antennae black and slender, centrally white-banded, basally 

 attenuate and apically fractae ; metathoracic spiracles small and 

 circular, basal transcarina and apophyses wanting ; terebra
