468 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGT. BAND 1. 



Male. — Black vith an iridescent effulgence especially 

 on the abdomen. The following parts are yellow: a broad 

 band on each side of the clypeus, the pronotnm, a spöt on 

 the tegulee, a riarrow stripe at the hind margin of the ab- 

 dominal segments 1 — 5, the npper side of the tibiee of the 

 two first pair of legs. The pubescence consists of long 

 grayish yellow hairs. The sides of the thorax clothed with 

 very short adpressed grayish hairs. 



The clypeus nearly triangulär convex yellow with a large 

 black spöt along the middle. The interval between the poste- 

 rior ocelli a little shorter than the distance from the eyes. 

 The distance between thé eyes on the vertex as long as the 

 joints 2 + 3 + V' 2 4 of the flagellum. The third joint of the 

 flagellum longer than the second one. The head very spar- 

 sely punctured. The mesonotum with scattered punctures, 

 the scutellum and the postscutellum nearly impunctate in the 

 middle. The other parts of the thorax pruinose. The me- 

 dian segment strongly excavate closely punctured. The ab- 

 domen thinly punctured. 



The wings hyaline with the nervures dark brown. The 

 radial cell twice as long as high, rounded at the end. 



Length 7—10 mm. Exp. 16 mm. 



7. Scolia (Elis) tristis Sauss. 



A female from Billiton, Lingang ( 8 /io 1899). It mea- 

 sured in length only 22 mm. Exp. 40 mm. 



8. Scolia (Elis) rubro-maculata Smith. 



To this species I count not without hesitation a single 

 female collected at Tjilatjap on Java ( 17 A 1899). 



The species differs by its smallness from the previous 

 species. It is only 27 mm. in length. Black, on each side 

 of the clypeus a spöt of silvery grayish pubescence; the ab- 

 dominal segments 2 and 3 on each side with a reddish yel- 

 low spöt and at the hind-angles of the 3 rd one a short trans- 

 verse band of the same colour ; the f ourth segment at the hind- 

 margin with transverse reddish band that is much broader 

 at the ends; the other segments entirely reddish. The la- 

 mina at the apex of the posterior femorse intensely red. 

 The apex of the abdomen with golden reddish hairs.
