Where that part of the body, otherwise almost similarly formed, 
is inarticulated superiorly(2). 
There, the mandibles are almost square, with three teeth at the 
extremity, one in the middle, and the others formed by the prpjess 
tion of the angles of the terminal margin. 
Atyst1a, Lat.(3) 
We have not yet been able to examine thoroughly, various other 
genera established by Messrs Gravenhort and Nées d’Esenbeck, in 
their Conspect. Gen. et Fam. Ichneum., and consequently have not 
thought it proper to speak of them. That called Anomalon by Ju- 
rine, must be suppressed. It is a sortof general receptacle, where 
he has placed all those Ichneumons in which the second cubital cell 
is wanting, without paying any attention to other organic differences, 
In the second tribe, the GaA.iicoLsz, Diplolepariz, 
Lat., we find but a single nervure in the inferior wings. 
The superior present some cells or areola, viz. two at their 
base, the brachials, but of which the inner one is usually in- 
complete and but slightly marked, another radial and triangu- 
lar, and two or three cubitals, of which the second, where 
there are three, is always very small, and the third very large, 
triangular, and closed by the posterior margin of the wing. 
The antennz are of equal thickness throughout, or gradually 
enlarge, but without forming a club, and consist of from thir- 
teen to fifteen joints(4). The palpi are very long(5). The

here the mandibles are always dentated on the inner side.

female Figites, and fourteen in the males; fourteen in the female Cynips, and 
fifteen in their males. 
(5) The maxillary palpi usually have four joints, and the labials three, of which 
the last is rather the thickest.
