470 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 1. 



The whole body clothed with a dense grayish pubescence 

 that is short and adpressed on the thorax, long and a little 

 erected on the abdomen. 



The clypeus is broad triangulär with the apex a little 

 truncated, with vertical fine wrinkles at the anterior margin, 

 slightly convex. The face prninose with scattered deep punc- 

 tures and broadly depressed before the anterior ocellus. The 

 interval between the posterior ocelli. very little longer than 

 the distance from the eyes. The longest interval between 

 the eyes as long as the joints 2 + 3 of the flagellum. The 

 joints 2 — 4 of the flagellum equal in length. 



The thorax densely and finely punctured. 



The median segment slightly excavated. 



The abdomen thinly punctured. The first segment mo- 

 derately contracted behind with slightly convex nearly pa- 

 rallel sides. 



The wings hyaline with dark brown nervures. The ra- 

 dial cell nearly thrice as long as high, rounded at the apex 

 that very much rises above the second cubital cell. 



Length c. 17,5 mm. Exp. 32 mm. 



Of this species the collection contains two females, which 

 are to be regarded as belonging to the var. aureicollis (Lep.) 

 Bingham. 



They are collected, one on Billiton the other at Tjilatjap 

 on Java ( 17 A 1899). 



10. Scolia (Dielis) simillima Tullgr. n. sp. 



In the collection of Mr. Aurivillius there are three fe- 

 males from Java(?) which highly resemble to Elis quadri- 

 fasciata Fabr., but from several reasons I describe them as 

 belonging to a species new for Science. 



Female. — Black. The head and the dorsal part of the 

 thorax clothed with long yellowish red hairs. The sides of 

 the thorax clothed with a dense adpressed light yellowish 

 cinereous pubescence. The hind-margin of the abdominal seg- 

 ment 1 — 3 or 4 ciliated with long golden red hairs. The 

 other parts of the segments thinly clothed with hairs of the 

 same colour. 



The clypeus as by E. quadrifasciata Fabr. The front 

 with numerous very coarse points around the ocelli and with
