Hemipepsis ochropus Stål, Öfvers. K. Vet. Akad. Förh. 

 Stockholm, 1857, p. 64. 



Of this species, of which the type-specimen a female be- 

 longs to the Royal Museum at Stockholm, Mr. Sjöstedt has 

 brought home a female and a male from Itoki ( n /i, 2 % 1891) 

 and a male from Kitta ( 11 A 1891). 



Because the description published by Stål is too short 

 and insufficiant I give here a more detailed one. 



Female Black; the mandibulse red-brownish at the base, 

 the clypeus and labrum light brown, the scapus brown under- 

 neath and the flagellum light brown underneath towards the 

 apex (by the type-specimen the antenn se are onecoloured red- 

 brown), the legs perfectly light red-brown, the pronotum red- 

 brown at the margins, the tegulre brown. The face, the tho- 

 rax except the mesonotum, the legs and the epipygium densely 

 clothed with short adpressed golden brownish hairs. The ab- 

 domen with a very faint golden brownish tint in certain 

 lights. 



The clypeus very broad, its upper margin in the middle 

 nearly straight truncated and on each side of this part a little 

 emargination ; the labrum a little excised in the middle. The 

 eyes touch the base of the mandibulge. The longest interraJ 

 between the eyes on the vertex is as long as the second joint 

 + 1 /3 of the third joint of the flagellum. The space between 

 the posterior ocelli much shorter than the distance from the 

 eyes.
