Legs rather long and slender, brownish. Wings long and quite narrow; stigma and veins light fus- cous. Stigma elongate, lanceolate, the radius arising at its middle; radial cell long, nearly attaining the wing tip; submedian cell considerably longer than the median ; discoidal vein broken below the middle; recurrent nervure interstitial with the first transverse cubi- tus; first cubital cell rhom- boidal, second elongate, its apex only one-half as long as its upper side and one-third as long as the lower side. Type.— No. A40, in the collection of the Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. This species resembles a genuine braconine except for the long submedian cell of the front wing. Spathiinae. I think it is very probable that Ichneumon petrinus Scudder belongs to this group. The very excellent figure given in his Tertiary Insects (plate 5, fig. 14) shows the characteristic form of the body and peculiar antennae of Hormiopterus and its allies, and I take it that the apparent absence of the first section of the cubitus is an accident of preservation. STEPHANIDAE. Protostephanus Cockerell. There is one specimen, No. 5350, S. H. Scudder Coll., which may belong to this genus or perhaps to Megischus. It is not well enough preserved, however, to place definitely in either although I am assured from its general habitus that it belongs to the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard Univers
