Several specimens of this interesting insect, which is intermediate 
between Chlorion (Ampulex) and Dolichurus, captured by my 
friend, Colonel Hearsey, in Central India, have enabled me to 
complete the characters of the genus which I established for its 
reception in the Transactions of the Entomological Society.
