OF CERAM, CELEBES, TERNATE, AND GILOLO. 53 
4. Scolia annulata (Tiphia Fabr.), Syst, Piez. p. 234. 11, 
Hab. Celebes. 
The specimens from Celebes have the wings entirely dark fuscous. 
5. ScoLt1A MoRosA. S, nitida, aterrima; abdomine subopaco; alis 
nigro-fuscis, violaceo splendide micantibus. 
Female. Length 143 lines. Jet black, the head and thorax shining, 
the abdomen subopake, The face coarsely rugose and covered with 
dense black pubescence; the flagellum rufo-piceous beneath. The 
thorax with deep coarse punctures and having a smooth impunctate 
space in the middle of the disk and of the scutellum ; the legs thickly 
set with rigid spines and hairs: the anterior tibize strongly punctured ; 
the apical joint of the anterior and intermediate tarsi rufo-piceous ; 
the wings very dark brown with a splendid violet iridescence. Abdo- 
men strongly punctured towards the apex. 
Hab. Celebes (Tondano). 
Diy. 3. The anterior wings with three submarginal cells and one 
recurrent nervure. 
6. ScoLia ApicaTa. S. capite thoraceque nigris, abdomine nigro- 
cxruleo, apice ferrugineo ; alis nigro-fuscis violaceo iridescentibus. 
Female. Length 73 lines. Head and thorax black and shining; head 
as wide as the thorax, finely and distantly punctured on the vertex, 
but much more strongly so before the ocelli. Thorax strongly punc- 
tured; the wings dark brown with a violet iridescence. Abdomen 
blue-black, rather finely and distantly punctured, the three apical 
segments bright ferruginous and thickly ciliated with ferruginous 
pubescence. 
Hab. Celebes (Tondano). 
I at first mistook this insect for S. dimidiata; but, independent of the 
different neuration of the wings, its broad head, as wide as the thorax, at 
once distinguishes it ; in S. dimidiata the head is much narrower than the 
thorax. 
7. SCOLIA INTRUDENS. S, nigra, subnitida, punctatissima; alis fuscis, 
viride et violaceo micantibus. 
Male. Length 143 limes. Black, slightly shining and densely punctured ; 
the pubescence black. The thorax with confluent punctures; the 
wings dark fuscous, with a mixture of green violet and coppery irides- 
cence, changing in different lights. The abdomen with the segments 
densely fringed with black pubescence ; the terminal segment with an 
acute spine at the apex and a shorter one on each side at the base. 
Hab. Celebes (Tondano). 
Div. 4. The anterior wings with three submarginal cells and two 
recurrent nervures.
