Luzon, Manila (W. A. Stanton). Mindanao, Dapitan {Baker). 



The Dapitan specimen agrees with Ashmead's account, but is 

 I think certainly only a variation of the commoner form, Nomia 

 notha. Unless additional material from Manila shows better 

 distinctive characters, I must conclude that there is only one 

 distinct species involved.
