We have seen specimens generally similar to Z. arizonicus from 

 Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil, but which differ among themselves and 

 from Z. arizonicus in some minor features of the color pattern, and 

 particularly from arizonicus in having the color markings more con- 

 trasted. These may represent subspecies of Z. arizonicus, but for the 

 present we classify the lot as four distinct species. One of the four is 

 (Pimpla) Zaglyptus simonis (Marshall) 1892 (new combination).
