broader than long, the apical incision shallow, but distinct. There is a longish, 

 narrower mark below the upper pleural mark, it issuing from the apex of the 

 latter and is a little longer than it. Parapsidal furrows deep. Apex of post- 

 scutellum margined, its centre slightly projecting, a little curved inwardly ; the 

 sides depressed, margined on outer edge, its apex transverse. Sides of meta- 

 notum rounded, broad and smooth above. The mark on the 1st abdominal 

 segment is in 3 parts, the basal broader than the middle, the middle than the 

 apical, which is almost square. The black mark on the 2nd segment at the base 

 forms a broad triangle longer than the transverse apical part to which it is 

 united by a short projection ; the apical part broad, curved, roundly, broadly 

 incurved in the middle of the apex ; its outer edges reach close to outer side of 

 the segment. The 2nd segment is almost square, its apex with a furrow, 

 beyond which it is slightly recurved. Antennal scape yellow except slightly 

 above and below at the apex, the flagellum brownish below. Wings clear 

 hyaline, the nervures and stigma black. 



Odynerus ( Ancistrocerus) baluchistanensis, n. sp. 



Black, a triangular mark on the front, a triangular one filling the eye- 

 incision, a longish mark behind the eyes, a mark on base of pronotum, not 

 reaching to the middle, tegulse, an oval spot below them, a transverse mark on 

 apical half of scutellum, divided by a furrow, sides of metanotum broadly, the 

 apices of the abdominal segments broadly, the black on 2nd segment with a 

 broad, curved, somewhat oval incision, and the ventral segments for the 

 greater part bright lemon-yellow ; the basal abdominal segment entirely, 

 the 2nd with a large black mark of which the base extends from side to side, 

 the apical (and larger) part narrower and rounded at the apex ; the other 

 Segments (except the last, which is entirely black) with trilobate black lines. 

 Legs lemon-yellow, the femora black above at the base ; wings hyaline, the 

 nervures and stigma black. $ and $ . 



Total length 6 mm. 



Quetta. June. 



Strongly punctured. Clypeus clearly broader than long, the apex distinctly 

 roundly incised. Base of thorax transverse. Apex of post-scutellum broadly 

 rounded. Sides of metanotum with serrated edges, a longish spine below. 2Dd 

 abdominal segment longer than it is wide at the apex, which is strongly recurved. 



The $ is similar, but with the yellow more extended, e. g., the lower half of 

 the front is entirely yellow, the black mark on the top of the 1st and on the 2nd 

 ventral segment is smaller, the scutellum is entirely yellow ; antennal scape 

 entirely and the base of flagellum below are yellow, mandibles entirely yellow. 



ScOLIIDiE. 

 Plesia baluchistanensis, sp. nov. 

 Black, shining, the head and thorax strongly, the basal half of the abdominal 

 segments less strongly and closely punctured, the head, thorax and femora dense- 

 ly covered with long white pubescence, the abdomen with shorter white pub- 

 escence, the clypeus, mandibles, except at apex, prothorax, except the sternum
