Larva amphipneustic (though Lundbeck doubts if it is truly so), broad, brown, leathery, with parallel sides, upper and lower surfaces with bristles placed transversely on segments, 12-segmented, including head, which is broadly conical; mouth- parts normally Stratiomyid ; last body-segment semicircular ; oriKce of respiratory chamber forming posterior extremity of body.

It lives in old trees or decaying wood. Xylomijia is a genus of yellow and black, rather Ichneumon-Wke rties, with considerable out\^â ard resemblance to Xglophagas (Lepxii),e), but the closed 4th posterior cell will easily distinguish them. The species seem to be much rarer in the adult than in the larval stage. Solva, Walker, antedates Xylonigia by one year, but as the subfamily name is constructed from the latter it should be retained.
