  Since 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  Part 
  VI. 
  of 
  this 
  series 
  of 
  

   papers 
  on 
  the 
  Hymenoptera 
  of 
  the 
  Oriental 
  Zoological 
  

   Region, 
  there 
  has 
  appeared 
  Col. 
  C. 
  T. 
  Bingham's 
  " 
  Fauna 
  

   of 
  British 
  India, 
  Hymenoptera," 
  Vol. 
  I., 
  which 
  deals 
  with 
  

   the 
  Aculeate 
  Section 
  of 
  the 
  Order, 
  except 
  the 
  Ants. 
  To 
  

   facilitate 
  reference 
  I 
  have, 
  in 
  this 
  paper, 
  followed 
  

   Col. 
  Bingham's 
  arrangement, 
  giving 
  indications 
  of 
  the 
  

   positions 
  my 
  new 
  species 
  will 
  occupy 
  in 
  the 
  system 
  

   adopted 
  by 
  him. 
  Further, 
  I 
  have 
  pointed 
  out 
  certain 
  

   omissions 
  and 
  corrections 
  in 
  his 
  work. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  necessary 
  to 
  say 
  here 
  that 
  Col. 
  Bingham's 
  book 
  

   only 
  refers 
  to 
  British 
  India, 
  Burma 
  and 
  Ceylon, 
  whereas 
  

   the 
  scope 
  of 
  my 
  papers 
  includes 
  the 
  Oriental 
  Zoological 
  

   Region 
  as 
  defined 
  by 
  Mr. 
  A. 
  R. 
  Wallace 
  — 
  a 
  very 
  much 
  

   wider 
  area.
