transverse diameter of eye; front and vertex with a few large 
punctures ; postocellar line about half as long as the ocellocular 
line; antenne stout, the apical joint truncate and as long as 
two preceding; pronotum rounded and with uniform punctures 
which are separated by a distance somewhat greater than their 
diameter ; tegule with quite a few punctures; scutum polished 
medianly; laterally with well-separated punctures; scutellum 
and metanotum with rather close punctures; propodeum shining, 
deeply emarginate posteriorly, the central area dorsally and 
posteriorly and the sides of the lateral areas dorsally with rather 
small, well-separated punctures; sides of thorax shining, mes- 
episternum punctured like dorsal part of propodeum; posterior 
calcaria simple, the longer one somewhat more than half as 
long as basitarsus; first tergite without a tubercule or carina, 
campanulate, more closely punctured at base above; abdomen 
Shining, very sparsely punctured; pygidium rounded, coarsely, 
irregularly punctured; hypopygidium sharply angled laterally, 
medianly produced into a broad, rounded, nearly parallel-sided 
lobe. Black, propodeum and basal tergites with a slight viola- 
ceous reflection; hair black; wings violaceous, beyond the 
venation more brownish. 
Type locality.—Mount Maquiling, Laguna, Luzon. 
T'ype.—Catalogue No. 23596, United States National Museum. 
Described from one female received from C. F. Baker. 
Scolia (Scolia) luzonensis sp. nov. 
The paler wings and pale hair on the sides of the thorax 
readily separate this from other Philippine species. It is 
possibly allied to Scolia melanosoma Saussure. 
Female.—Length, 22 millimeters ; length of anterior wing, 
17 millimeters. Head normal, not as wide as thorax and with 
narrow posterior orbits, closely punctured, except for a trans- 
verse impunctate area behind ocelli and the more widely 
separated punctures on the front; clypeus uniformly punctured, 
convex medianly, the apical margin depressed, rounded median- 
ly and with transverse aciculations: a small shining tubercule 
between bases of antenne; a narrow, oblique flange above each 
antennal fovea; front with a low, incomplete, transverse ridge 
which medianly is impressed by a line so as to form a broad V; 
area surrounding ocelli more sparsely punctured; ocelli of equal 
size, the postocellar line less than half as long as the ocellocular 
line; antenne stout, the flagellum punctured, the apical joint 
truncate and not quite as long as the two preceding; pronotum
