In tliis paper I have described a number of well-marked genera of Ichneunionidos, mostly belonging to the Joppini and the Heresia.rachini. Very little has been published upon the Joppini occurring in India, but in all probability they will prove to be quite as numerous there as in the Neotropical Zoological Region, which has iiitherto been looked upon as the headquarters of the group. Two genera of Indian Joppini have been described by Dr. Kriechbaumer in Ent.Nachtr. xxiv. 1898, where he also revises the genera ; and there is a further revision of them by Mr. W. H. Ashmead in Bull. U.S. Nat, Mus. xxiii. 1900. The Heresiarachini are easily known by their toothless mandibles. This tribe appears to be well represented in India, but no species has hitherto been recorded, therefrom. The species are in the collection of IMr, G. A. J. Kothney. Gathetus, gen. nov. Wings with an apical cloud. Areolet five-angled, nar-rowed at tlie top, Antennse short, thickened and compressed beyond the middle. Cheeks swollen. Labrum hidden. Scutellum flat, the sides not margined, the apex incised in the
