POMPILUS TERMINATUS. 



SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 



Black; wings pale fulvous, with a dusky tip. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Body black, with a slight purplish tinge: 

 antmnse, black: superior wings pale fulvous, 

 with a broad dusky tip : inferior wings paler. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



This species was brought by Major Long's 

 party. I caught it near the Arkansaw river, about 

 two hundred miles from the Rocky Mountains. 

 But one specimen occurred, which is a female. 

 In the proportion and distribution of the colours 

 of the wings, it resembles P. discolor and 

 annulatus, Fabr., but in magnitude and colour 

 of the body it is very distinct.
