Borneo, but apparently larger, and certainly with less red on 
abdomen. Cameron’s diagnosis is not consistent in all respects 
with his detailed description. In our insect the first abdominal 
segment is pale fulvous, with a broad transverse black band, 
pointed at each end, and not reaching the lateral margins; in 
the middle, this band is more distant than the equivalence of 
its width from the hind margin. The second segment is black, 
with the base pale fulvous, more broadly at sides. The other 
dorsal segments are black, and 2 to 4 have marginal tegumentary 
ivory-colored bands. On the ventral side the first two seg- 
ments are red or fulvous suffused with dusky, and the third 
fulvous with a transverse black band. Other characters are: 
Clypeus shining, depressed in middle, its apical margin red; 
mandibles red subapically; face and front, all except lower 
part of clypeus, densely covered with very pale ocherous hair, 
hiding the surface; cheeks with white hair; scape red basally; 
flagellum red beneath; mesothorax and scutellum dull and ap- 
pearing bare, with thin, short, pale hair, a few long dark hairs 
on scutellum; postscutellum densely covered with ocherous- 
tinted tomentum; base of metathorax with a curved transverse 
channel, crossed by irregular small plice laterally; tegule ful- 
vous ; wings strongly dusky, with a large subapical cloud; stigma 
piceous, rather large; nervures fuscous; anterior tibie clear 
fulvous in front, middle tibiz with fulvous band in front; hind 
basitarsi broad. The tongue is very long and slender.

Nomia perconcinna Cockerell. ¢ 
Penang (Baker). Possibly a distinct race of this Indian 
species, as it differs from the type by the hind tibiz being en- 
tirely black and the flagellum duskier red beneath. It is allied 
to N. albofasciata Smith, but differs conspicuously in the color 
of the pubescence. 
Nomia elongata Friese. 
Penang (Baker 9611). This is the real N. elongata, agree- 
ing with Friese’s description of the ventral surface of abdomen. 
Except for the ocherous hair of face and abdominal bands, this 
agrees with Smith’s description of N. clavata, from Gilolo; but 
that description could be applied to several species of this type.
