new Genera of Ichneumonide. oT 
The head is large, not much narrowed behind the ‘eyes, 
behind roundly concave, the occiput margined. Median 
seoment transversely punctured, its apical slope below the 
middle with a stout wrinkled keel. Areolet large, five-sided, 
not much narrowed at the top; the recurrent nervure received 
in the middle. Apical abscissa of radius roundly curved 
upwards. Apical third of petiole widely dilated. Gastro- 
ceeli large, not deep, stoutly striated. Legs stout, the tarsal 
joints spinose, broad, narrowed at the base ; the hinder femora 
reach to the fourth segment. Abdomen smooth, impunctate, 
its segments not angularly produced at the apices laterally. 
Does not fit well into any of Kriechbaumer’s groups of the 
Hemijoppine. 
Lagenesta ferruginea, sp. n. 
Ferruginea, nigro-maculata ; abdominis apice late nigro; alis fusco- 
violaceis, nervis nigris. @. 
Long. 22 mm. 
Antenne rufous, broadly black beyond the middle. The 
ocellar region black; the lower inner orbits and the labrum 
yellowish. Front and vertex aciculate, rougher below the 
ocelli, smoother near the eyes, which are sharply margined. 
Face and clypeus punctured, but not very closely or deeply, 
the latter more sparsely than the face; both are covered with 
white hair. Labrum smooth and fringed with long golden 
hair. Mesonotum closely punctured, its base and_ sides 
bordered with black, the black colour extending on to the 
parapsidal furrows, which are distinctly indicated at the 
base. Scutellum sparsely and slightly punctured; post- 
scutellum smooth. Metanotum transversely rugosely pune- 
tured, towards the apex thickly covered with fulvous hair ; 
the keel bordering the apex broadly projects in the middle at 
the sides. Pleurz closely punctured ; a broad band in the 
centre of the pro-, the base and upper edge of the meso-, and 
the base and lower edge of the metapleure black. Wings 
uniformly fuscous-violaceous, distinctly iridescent; the first 
transverse cubital nervure is bullated at the top, the second 
below the middle; there are two bulle on the recurrent 
nervure. Legs coloured like the body; the apex of the meta- 
tarsus and the four apical joints black. The basal two 
segments of the abdomen and the sides of the third are ferru- 
ginous, the rest deep black; the petiole above finely trans- 
versely striated, its sides more strongly and slightly obliquely 
striated. Gastrocceli distinctly striated, the strie distinctly 
separated, the space between them irregularly transversely
