XXXIV. HYMENOPTER A, V : FOSSORES 

 DIPI.OPTERA, CHRYSIDIDAE. 



By Lieut.-Colonel C. G. Nurse. 



With a few exceptions^ the specimens obtained belong to species 

 well known as occurring in Burma, Tenasserim, and N. E. India. 

 Our knowledge of the smaller aculeate Hymenoptera still leaves 

 much to be desired, and I have not attempted to describe, except 

 in the case of an Ampulex which is undoubtedly unknown, 

 new species from the very insufficient material available. Many 

 of the genera occurring in India badly require revision, and it is 

 quite likely that as more material becomes available, several of 

 the forms now passed over as " sp. inc." may prove to be new. 



FOSSORES. 



MUTILLIDAE. 



Mutilla blanda, Smith. 



One 9 from E. bank of Dihong River, between Pasighat 

 and Kobo, 15-xii-ii. 



Mutilla cassiope, Smith. 



One ? from Dibrugarh, N. E. Assam, 26-xi-ii. 



Mutilla sp. inc. 

 One 5 from Sadiya, N. E. Assam, 26-xi-ii. 



SCOLIIDAE. 

 Tiphia intrudens, Smith. 

 Acfrom Dibrugarh, 17-ig-xi-ii. 



Scolia, sp. inc. 



A ? from Kobo, 9-xii-ii. 



There is no specimen exactly like this either in the B.M. or in 

 my own collection. It is nearest to 5 floridula (Bingh.) but I 

 note that Bingham, in arranging the B. M. collection, placed his 

 type of that species under sikkimensis (Bingh.) though in his 

 volume 1 of the "Fauna of India" series, he gives his fionduLa 

 as a synonym of 5. kirhyi, Magretti. The species of this genus 

 are very variable.
