A. TULLGREN, SOME SPECIES OF THE GENUS SCOLIA. 471 



a short transverse impression behind the posterior ocelli. The 

 vertex very densely and coarsely punctured. Through this 

 strong punctuation this species differs from Se. quadrifasciata 

 Fabr. 



The thorax very closely punctured, only by one of the 

 specimens there is a small smooth disc on the mesonotum. 



The abdomen is narrower than by Se. quadrifasciata Fabr. 

 By two of my specimens the fringes at the hind-margin of 

 the abdomiual segments are very long and dense. 



The wings are yellowish hyaline with a dark subapical 

 spöt. The radial cell is by Se. quadrifasciata Fabr. twice 

 as long as high. By two of the specimens the radial cell 

 has a similar shape, but by the largest one, that is most 

 closely punctured on the head and on the mesonotum and 

 has the shortest fringes on the abdominal segments, the radial 

 cell is only a little longer than high with the apex nearly 

 straightly truncated. By another species of this genus I

have never seen that the shape of the radial cell varies in 

 so high a degree b} T the same species. Perhaps the Se. si- 

 millima mihi consists of two species, but not having a larger 

 number of specimens for comparison it is impossible to give 

 a sure conclusion. 



Length 14,5 — 21,5 mm. Exp. 22,5 — 36 mm. Java(?). 



11. Se. (Elis) annulata Fabr. 



To this species I count a male from Java collected at 

 Pangerango about 3000' above the sea. 



12. Se. (Dielis) fumata Tullgr. n. sp. 



Among the species of this genus in the museum there is 

 a new species from Java collected by Dr. Erik Nyman, which 

 species I also describe in this treatise. 



Female. — Black with the tegulse red-brown in its poste- 

 rior half, clothed with long black hairs, on the sides of the
