Legs dark brownish; wings hyaline. Antennae rather long, moderately 

 stout, the basal joints of the flagellum three or four times as long as thick; 

 those near the apex becoming about quadrate ; the flagellum apparently not 

 annulated. Mesonotum microscopically punctured; basal and middle lateral 

 areas of metanotum distinctly separated. Postpetiole very finely rugulose or

shagreened, subopaque. Wings hyaline, the veins fuscous; marginal cell 

 wide, the first section of the radius being nearly one-half as long as the second. 

 Areolet slightly oblique, large and pentangular, its upper side quite long. 

 Discocubital vein evenly curved and without a trace of a stump of a vein. 

 Stigma rather broad, ovate-lanceolate, fuscous; submedian cell in front 

 wings equal in length to the median. 



Described from one specimen, although there is also a second No.

Ichneumon decrepitus, sp. nov. 



Female. Length about 9 mm. Black, the wings hyaline; abdomen with 

 narrow lighter bands on the apices of the segments. Head very strongly 

 transverse; antennae stout, the basal flagellar joints being two times as long 

 as thick and the apical joints transverse. Scutellum rather strongly convex 

 medially and furnished with a broad transverse depression medially which is 

 not margined laterally. Metathorax areolated, but the areas not well pre- 

 served in the specimen. Petiole of abdomen strongly dilated and wide at the 

 apex, the postpetiole microscopically sculptured and subopaque; second to 

 fifth segments broad; each with a narrow reddish band along the posterior 

 margin. Legs black, varied with brown on the anterior and middle pairs. 

 Wings hyaline, with the slightest trace of infuscation; stigma and veins dark 

 fuscous. Marginal cell long, but with the first section of the radius fully two- 

 thirds as long as the second. Stigma ovate. Areolet large, pentangular, its 

 upper side long. Discocubital vein evenly curved and without trace of a 

 stump of a vein; submedian cell slightly longer than the median.
