•»Ampulex hospes. Female. Length 12 lines. Brilliant purple, with shades of 

 green in certain lights; the head with scattered punctures, which are dosest and strong- 

 est towards the Insertion of the antennae; the clypeus with a highly elevated carina 

 down the centre; an abbreviated impressed line above the stemmata. Thorax: the pro- 

 thorax smooth and convex above, with a few delicate scattered punctures; the meso- 

 thorax, scutellum and postscutellum smooth and shining, with a few widely dispersed 

 punctures; the disk of the mesothorax with two deeply impressed longitudinal lines, 

 extending from the anterior margin to the base of the scutellum; outside of each, close 

 to the tegulae, is a deeply impressed fovea; the wings fuscous; the femora red; the 

 metathorax rounded at the posterior angles, not spined, the upper surface smooth and 

 shining; the truncation smooth and shining; the sides have a transversely striated groove 

 at their upper margin, below which they are punctured. Abdomen very smooth and 

 shining, much compressed at the sides; beneath suddenly produced at the base of the 

 second segment. 



»Hab.: Borneo (Sarawak). 



»This species in some particulars differs from those of the rest of the genus: the 

 antennae are stouter and shoter, as are also the mandibles; the wings, in the three 

 females received, have only two submarginal cells, but the obliteration of the first trans- 

 verse cubital nervure is of frequent occurence in the genus; the metathorax is vvithout 

 spines at the posterior lateral angles, and the abdomen is abruptlv produced at the 

 base of the second segment beneath : these differences constitute a remarkable and very 

 distinct species; the cannot be regarded as of higher value, as a good series of the diffe- 

 rent species of the genus exhibit many approaches to the remarkable peculiarities of the 

 present species.« 



Notiz in Journ. Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond., I, pag. 98, cT (1858): »The particulars in 

 which this remarkable species differs from those with which I have associated it, would 

 perhaps Warrant the establishment of a new genus, but onlv a few specimens have yet 

 been obtained; and although in all, the first transverse cubital nervure is obsolete, still 

 it is a circumstance of frequent occurence in the genus, particularly in the typical species
