649. Odynerus ceylonicus, Sauss. Novara-Reise, Hym. p. 12, 5 c?- 



The Oih/nerus which I have, after careful comparison, identi- 

 fied, though with some doubt, as this species closely resembles 

 0. hipustuJatiis, but is slightly smaller and has the basal abdo- 

 minal segment narrower in proportion ; the head, thorax, and 

 abdomen are more coarsely punctured, the apical three segments 

 of the latter being smooth. Black, with cinereous pile in certain 

 lights ; the mandibles, a spot on the front, the emargination of 

 the eyes, a line behind them, a line on the scape of the antennae 

 in front, the base and margins of the clypeus, a spot on each side 

 of the pronotum, a spot on the mesopleurae, the tegulae, a spot on each 

 lateral angle of both scutellum and postscutellum, an abbreviated 

 line on each side of the median segment posteriorly, a line on 

 the posterior margins of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th segments of the 

 abdomen, a spot in the middle of the apical margin of the 5th 

 and a medial spot on the 6th segment, yellow ; legs variegated 

 with yellow, tarsi rufescent ; wings hyaline, with a submarginal 

 fuscous spot in the fore wing.
