S.VLIUS. — POMPILUS. 147 



in rothnejii are absent, as is also the shining fovea, but there is 

 a small cariua there ; the eyes distinctly diverge beneath ; the 

 ocelli are in a triangle and closer to each other ; ... the 

 median segment at the apex is more abrupt; the abdomen is 

 longer, being as long as the head and thorax united, and its 

 apical segments are not so thickly haired ; the form of the 2ud 

 cubital cellule is very different ; the 1st transverse cubital nervure 

 is elbowed at the middle and bends towards the 2nd, making the 

 top of the cellule there about one-fourth of what it is at the 

 bottom, and about one-third the length of the top of the 3rd ; at 

 the bottom the 2nd cubital cellule is about three-fourths of the 

 length of the 3rd ; the second transverse cubital nervure is 

 sharply elbowed at the top, making the cellule much narrower 

 at the top than at the bottom, where it is rounded broadly at the 

 apex, instead of acutely angled as in rothnei/i, while the cubital 

 nervure terminates completely there ; the 1st recurrent ne-'-'ure 

 is received a very little beyond the middle, the 2nd at a less 

 distance from the transverse cubital nervure than is the 1st ; the 

 radial nervure becomes elbowed about the basal third (and also 

 more sharply), while in rothneyi it turns up at the middle of the 

 cellule. S. cotesi also is larger, being 13 mm. in length. The 

 long spur of the hind tibiae does not reach the middle of the 

 metatarsus ; the tibial spines are shorter and fewer."
