  POMPILUS 
  CIRCE, 
  Cam. 
  (PI.

   This 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  conspicuous 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  section. 
  

   The 
  collar 
  is 
  more 
  elongated, 
  is 
  transverse 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  in 
  

   the 
  middle, 
  but 
  curves 
  round 
  to 
  the 
  tegulag 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  ; 
  the 
  

   clypeus 
  is 
  rounded 
  ; 
  the 
  ocelli 
  small, 
  in 
  a 
  curve, 
  and 
  

   separated 
  from 
  each 
  other 
  by 
  a 
  much 
  greater 
  distance 
  than 
  

   they 
  are 
  from 
  the 
  eyes.
