new Genera of Ichneumonide. 383 
part of the propleure, the prosternum, the tubercles, a mark 
broader than long and dilated on the lower side at the apex, 
a longer oblique mark not reaching to the apex, a small mark 
under the hinder wings on the metapleurze, and a large oblique 
one, rounded at the top, lemon-yellow. Mesonotum shining, 
almost impunetate, except slightly behind. Scutellum flat, 
rounded behind; the postscutellum finely punctured. The 
base of the median segment smooth, raised and oblique in the 
middle; the supramedian area obsolete, not bounded by 
keels, somewhat triangular at the base; the posterior median 
area rounded at the base, closely and rather strongly trans- 
versely striated, as are also the apical lateral area; the spiracular 
area transversely striated, the stria stronger and more widely 
separated than on the posterior median area. Pro- and me3o- 
leuree shining, sparsely punctured, the former striated on the 
hia half; the metapleure sparsely punctured, the depression 
at the top deep. ‘The mesosternum flat, its furrow trans- 
versely striated. Wings with a fuscous-violaceous tinge; the 
nervures and stigma black ; the areolet narrower at the top, 
being there slightly less in length than the space bounded by 
the recurrent and the second transverse cubital nervures; the 
recurrent is received shortly beyond the middle. Legs 
lemon-yellow like the thorax; the base of the hinder coxe, 
the base of the four anterior trochanters, the hinder trochanters 
entirely, the basal half of the femora, with a narrow line in 
the centre of the apical half of the anterior pair, and the base 
and apex of the tibix black ; the tarsi more or less fuscous. 
Abdomen black ; on the sides of the first, second, third, and 
fourth segments are large lemon-yellow marks; the apex of 
the petiole and of the second and third segments longitudinally 
striated in the middle; the gastrocceli smooth, not striated, 
deep; the apical segments have a bluish tinge. 
The male is similarly coloured, but with the yellow marks 
if anything larger, and the wings are much more deeply and 
distinctly smoky violaceous. 
The yellow markings on the thorax and abdomen probably 
vary in size and number; the lateral marks on the median 
segment may become confluent; in this case the dividing keel 
is yellow. 
CHARITOJOPPA, gen. nov. 
Antenne stout, dilated and compressed beyond the middle. 
Scutellum pyramidal, its sides at the base below the raised 
part keeled. Head largely developed below and behind the 
eyes; the occiput sharply margined. Clypeus not separated
