slightly incised in the middle ; a stouter keel runs into it 
from the outer ocelli; below the central ocellus is a deep 
hollow. Pronotum covered with large round punctures; the 
mesonotum less strongly punctured; the scutellum somewhat 
stronger than the pronotum, and with the punctures more 
widely apart; the metanotum more strongly than the pro- 
notum, except laterally ; and along the edge of the central 
region are some very large punctures ; the two fovese on the 
apex are very large and deep. The pleurae are strongly and 
coarsely punctured except on the hollows ; the transverse 
furrow on the mesopleurae is shining, almost impunctate. 
The abdomen is smooth, covered with moderately large 
widely-set-apart shallow punctures; the teeth are short; the 
foveae deep and large (especially the central) and fourteen in 
number ; the legs are green and punctured, the tarsi black ; 
the hind tibiae (especially) and tarsi are densely covered 
with white stiff pubescence ; the claws and spurs are testa- 
cious. Wings violaceous, strongly iridescent, the nervures 
black ; the upper median cellule acute at the apex. 
Length 7 mm. 
Hob. Q&jloii (Geo, Lewis). 
From Hiojo, Japan, Mr. George Lewis has brought back 
a Chrysis which I cannot separate from ignita, Lin. 
ICHNEUMONID^. 
Ichneumon patricius, Haliday. 
The description of this species (Trans. Lin. Soc. XVII. p. 
317) is too laconic to enable me to say with certainty if a 
specimen taken by Mr. J. J. Walker, RN.,at Punta Arenas, 
Straits of Magellan, is identical with it. If so Haliday ’s des- 
cription may be usefully supplemented. In Mr. Walker’s 
example the front is deeply excavated, smooth, and shining ; 
the rest of the head punctured, the face transverse, covered 
with a sparse fulvous pubescence ; the apex of the clypeus 
is nearly transverse, shining, sparsely punctured ; the palpi 
testaceous; the pro^ and mesothorax strongly punctured,
