entire surface, and is somewhat mitre-shaped ; the post 

 scutellum shining, impunctate. The median segment 

 strongly punctured, thickly covered (especially behind) 

 with white hair ; the supramedian area longer than 

 broad ; the sides almost straight ; the base transverse ; 

 the apex curved roundly inwardly. The metapleurae are 

 more coarsely punctured than the mesopleurae, and more 

 thickly haired. Legs black ; the front tibiae and tarsi 

 dirty testaceous (perhaps discoloured) ; the outer half of 

 the fore coxae, the outer side of the middle and a larger 

 mark on the hinder side of the hinder coxae, yellowish- 

 white ; the spurs also yellowish-white. Wings hyaline ; 

 the stigma and nervures black ; the latter paler towards 

 the apex ; the areolet at the top in length a little less 

 than the space bounded by the recurrent and the second 

 transverse cubital nervures. Abdomen black ; the base 

 of the first, second, and third segments with yellow bands 

 dilated at the sides, and which become gradually narrowed, 

 a large mark on the sixth, rounded at the base, narrowed 

 gradually at the sides and the greater part of the seventh, 

 yellowish-white. The ventral segments black ; the basal 

 yellowish in the middle. 



This species is abundantly distinct from the two 

 species of Ichneumon described by Smith from Borneo, 

 the antennae of /. penetrans and the head of /. comis- 

 sator being for the greater part yellow.
