Family SCOLIDAE.

4,400 feet (15-iv-og). A rare species recorded by Bingham from 
Barrackpore near Calcutta. 
Family POMPILIDAE. 
2. Pseudogenia tincta (Smith). 
Two specimens (10 and 15-iv-0g) taken at an altitude of be- 
tween 4,300 and 4,400 feet. A rare species in the plains of Bengal 
but also recorded from the ‘‘ North-West Provinces,’’ Sikhim 
and Burma. 
3. Pseudogenta alaris (Sauss.). 
One specimen from an altitude of between 4,000 and 4,400 
feet (12-iv-og). There is a specimen in our collection from the 
environs of Calcutta (24-vili-o4) and the species has been recorded 
from Sikhim, Burma and Ceylon. 
4. Salius madraspatanus. 
One specimen (4,000 to 4,400 feet, 13-iv-09). The species 
is common all over the Indian Empire and in Ceylon. 
Family SPHEGIDAE. 
5. Sceliphron violaceum (Fabr.). 
Parésnath, 4,400 feet (II-iv-og). Another common species, 
its range extending from S. Europe to Australia. 
6. Sphex umbrosus, Christ. 
Parésnath, 3,000 feet (1I5-iv-og). Also a common species, 
ranging all over the Oriental region and to Japan, Australia 
and Africa. 
7. Sphex aurulentus var. ferrugineus, Lepel. 
Parésnath, 4,000 feet (g-iv-og). Another common form; widely 
distributed in the Oriental region and found in China and N. 
Australia. 
8. Cerceris untfasciata, Smith. 
A specimen from Parésnath differs somewhat in colour from 
specimens from Assam and may represent a distinct variety or 
a local race. The species occurs in Sikhim, Assam, Upper Burma 
and China and also in Calcutta. It appears to be found chiefly 
in mountainous regions but probably not at great or even con- 
siderable altitudes.
