thickened and slightly compressed laterally; almost bare. 

 Head shining, the outer orbits at and a little below the 

 middle and the inner from the top to shortly below the 

 middle, yellowish. Face flat, slightly dilated in the 

 middle below the antennae ; punctured, the punctures at 

 the sides more widely separated than in the middle, this 

 being also the case on the front and vertex. Pro- and 

 meso-thorax closely and uniformly punctured ; the scu- 

 tellum more shining and sparsely punctured ; the median 

 segment more strongly and closer punctured than the 

 mesonotum, which has the areas all clearly defined. 

 Legs blue, the coxae closely and thickly covered with 

 white hair ; the femora sparsely haired. Areolet nar- 

 rowed at the top, the transverse cubital nervures being 

 almost united ; the recurrent nervure is received in the 

 apical third of the areolet. Abdomen closely and strongly 

 punctured; the apex of the petiole raised; the raised 

 part clearly margined and separated from the sides ; this 

 raised part is longitudinally striated. Gastrocoeli wide, 

 deep ; their sides obliquely striated ; the part between 

 the gastrocoeli in the middle longitudinally at the sides, 

 especially at the base, more strongly obliquely, striolated. 



This species has the antennae thickened towards the 

 apex somewhat as it is in Joppa, but I cannot look upon 

 it as congeneric with the American species of Joppa. 

 Apart from the dilated antennae (and in this point we 

 find considerable variation in Ichneumon) I can find 

 nothing whereby to distinguish it from Ichneumon as 

 generally defined.
