  POMPILID/E. 
  

  

  POMPILUS 
  ICHNEUMONIFORMIS 
  Cam. 
  

   This 
  is 
  probably 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  by 
  Bingham 
  

   {I.e., 
  p. 
  no), 
  as 
  Pseudagenia 
  deceptrix 
  Sm. 
  The 
  two 
  in 
  

   my 
  opinion 
  are 
  not 
  identical, 
  and 
  my 
  type 
  does 
  not 
  

   agree 
  with 
  Smith's 
  (now 
  in 
  the 
  Oxford 
  Museum). 
  P. 
  

   deceptrix 
  is 
  from 
  Celebes.

   This 
  species 
  is 
  omitted 
  by 
  Bingham. 
  It 
  is 
  from 
  

   Ceylon.
