lo Cameron, Hymenoptera, from Greymouth. 



on the top stout, ending in the middle in a stout, flat, tri- 

 angular tooth. Meso- and meta-pleurae strongly punctured, 

 the latter on the lower side with a curved keel. The coxae 

 and base of the trochanters are black ; the hinder coxae 

 have a reddish mark on the apex behind ; the extreme apex 

 of the hinder femora black ; the apices of the hinder tibiae 

 and of the tarsal joints infuscated. The wing nervures to 

 the stigma, and the stigma itself, fulvous, the apical 

 nervures black ; the areolet narrowed at the top, being 

 there distinctly less in length than the space bounded by 

 the recurrent and the second transverse cubital nervures. 

 The apex of the petiole closely, longitudinally striated, 

 and marked with yellow at the sides ; down the sides 

 from the base is a narrow black line which is continued 

 down the middle to opposite the spiracles, becoming 

 thickened towards the apex ; the spiracles are bordered 

 with black ; the other segments are closely punctured ; 

 the second and third have the sides at the apex yellowish ; 

 the gastrocoeli deep, wide at the apex, being somewhat 

 triangular seen from the outer side ; smooth, shining, the 

 middle at the apex with a few striae. 



This is the largest and stoutest-looking species of the 

 New Zealand species of Ichneiinion^ and is very distinct 

 from any of them. 



Ichneumon deceptus Sm. 



Smith {Trans. E^ttom. Soc, 1876, p. 477) only describes 

 the ? of this species, so I now describe the ^ . 



Scape of the antennae beneath, the face below the 

 antennae, the mandibles except the teeth, the palpi, a 

 broad line on the outer orbits of the eyes on the lower 

 side, the pronotum broadly, a squarish mark in the centre 

 of the mesonotum, the scutellum, post-scutellum, a square 

 mark on the median segment, a mark on the base of the 

 mesopleurae, a smaller one at the apex lower down, a
