  In 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  Colonel 
  C. 
  T. 
  Bingham 
  is 
  at 
  

   present 
  engaged 
  on 
  a 
  Monograph 
  of 
  the 
  Indian 
  Hymenop- 
  

   tera, 
  I 
  deem 
  it 
  advisable 
  to 
  give 
  in 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  my 
  paper 
  

   descriptions 
  of 
  new 
  species 
  only, 
  leaving 
  the 
  information 
  

   I 
  possess 
  regarding 
  the 
  distribution 
  and 
  habits 
  of 
  the 
  

   known 
  species 
  to 
  be 
  dealt 
  with 
  in 
  another 
  paper. 
  

  

  Compared 
  with 
  the 
  immense 
  number 
  of 
  parasitic 
  

   Hymenoptera 
  (Ichneumonidse, 
  Braconidse, 
  &c.) 
  known 
  

   from 
  the 
  Nearctic 
  and 
  Palsearctic 
  zoological 
  regions 
  they 
  

   are 
  but 
  feebly 
  represented, 
  in 
  fact 
  the}' 
  are 
  almost 
  absent 
  

   in 
  the 
  southern 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  Indian 
  Peninsula; 
  but 
  they 
  

   appear 
  to 
  be 
  more 
  numerous 
  in 
  Ceylon, 
  and 
  are 
  probably 
  

   not 
  uncommon 
  in 
  the 
  Himalayas.
