204 Cameron, Hymenoptera Orientalia. 



given by Brull6 {Hymen. IV., p. 266), and with his figure 

 {pi. 41,/. i) of Hemigaster^ of which he describes a species 

 from India and another from AustraUa, if he has not 

 made a mistake about the latter, for he describes it as a 

 Hemiteles, which is probably a slip of the pen. In some 

 respects the genus is intermediate, judging by the species 

 here described, between the /<f/^;2^^^;;Z(3;zz(^^j' and the Cryp tides. 



The generic characters of our species may be repre- 

 sented as follows. Antennae longish, thickened towards the 

 apex. Eyes large, margined, front widely and deeply de- 

 pressed, tricarinate in the middle, the inner orbits on the 

 lower side stoutly keeled ; face distinctly keeled down the 

 middle, mandibles bidentate at the apex. Parapsidal 

 furrows distinct, scutellum stoutly keeled. Median seg- 

 ment completely areolated. Spiracles large, linear. 

 Areolet absent; radial cellule large, wide, the apical half 

 broadly lanceolate. The basal three segments of the 

 abdomen large, the others small ; the petiole bent at the 

 apex ; the spiracles small, round, placed at the base of the 

 apical third ; the gastrocoeli obsolete. Tarsi spinose, the 

 claws simple. 



The following new genera and species are described 

 here somewhat out of their natural order pending the 

 completion of the examination of the groups to which 

 they belong. 



Ileanta, gen. 710V. 



Belongs to Wesmael tribe of the Ichneuinones, and is 

 most nearly related to Ichneumon, from which it differs, as 

 it does from all other IcJmeumonidcB, in the basal joint of 

 the hinder tarsi having, on the lower side, a flattened leaf- 

 like expansion extending from the base to near the apex,
