ICHNEUMONID GENERA LABIUM AND PCECILOCRYPTUS.

rugulose at the sides, petiolar area with the same sculpture as 

 the areola ; the nveve adjacent to the petiolar area rugulose ; 

 external area smooth, dentipai'al area subrugulose, a minute 

 tooth at tlie external apical angle of both the external and 

 dentiparal areaj ; spiracular area strongly rugulose, anteriorly 

 punctured-rugulose ; pleural area superiorly rugulose with a few 

 deep punctures, ventrally with three or four large complete rugse, 

 which merge with those of the juxta-coxal area, the carina 

 dividing the two arese well defined to about one-half. Petiole 

 with a well-developed tooth on each side between the base and 

 the spiracles; the petiole with a rather stronger sculpture than is 

 usual in the genus, behind the spiracles the surface in the middle 

 subrugulose, before the spiracles the raised median area, is very 

 distinct. Hind coxse and femora smooth on the outside, with 

 large irregular punctures. Second abscissa of the i-adius a little 

 shorter than the distance between the recurrent nervure and the 

 second transverse cubital nervure, and only a little more than 

 half as long as the latter nervure.

Long. 12 mm. 



c?. Mandibles simple; clypeus and face closely, evenly, and 

 rather strongly punctured, the line between the face and clypeus 

 very distinct ; malar space short, only half as broad as the base 

 of the mandible. Front smooth, with sparse punctures. Antennae 

 47-jointed, third joint almost as long as the fourth and fifth 

 combined, the joints becoming transverse at about the 22nd or 

 23rd. Mesonotum shining, finely and rather closely punctured, 

 the InedianJobe prominent aud more closely punctured ; notauli 

 long. Scutellum and postscutellum shining, finely punctured ; 

 propleurpe rather strongly punctured; mesopleurse punctured on 

 the lower half, the epimeral sulcus strongly crenulate. Median 

 segment with the apical ca:i-ina of the ba,sa;l Segment broadly 

 interrupted in the middle ; areola shining, v^ith a few lateral 

 punctures, its apical keel well defined ; exteriial area finely and 

 closely punctured ; dentiparal area rugulose, both the external 

 and dentiparal arese with a small tooth at the external apical 

 angle, and a minute tooth also at the inner apical angle of the 

 dentiparal area; spiracular area anteriorly finely and closely
