* For additional descriptions of some species of this genus and of the 

 following, contained in my collection, I must request the reader to refer to the 

 Appendix, to be given at the end of the preseu; volume ; serious indisposition 

 having prevented me from duly investigating them in time to insert in their 

 respective places. It may be remembered that, including this sheet, I have 

 already described 843 Hymenoptera, of which 503 are Ichneumonidse.
