118 SPOLIA ZEYLANIdA. 



Scelipliron coromandelicum (Lepel), Nos. 147, 148, in Col. Mus., 

 locality unknown. I have in my collection specimens from 

 Henegama, Ganawatta, and Matale, and have seen it in Colombo. 



Sphex splendidus (Fabr.), No. 24. ? in Col. Mus. taken at Kal- 

 pitiya. A very handsome species, probably confined to the dry 

 hot districts. 



Sphex segyptus (Lepel), No. 54, in Col. Mus., from Puttalam. 



Sphex xanthopterus (Cam.), Nos. 141, 142, in Col. Mus., from 

 Colombo, January-February, 1902. Very common in Colombo 

 I have watched a ? burrowing in the sand, but she did not 

 complete the nest. It set to work at great speed, scraping with 

 its fore legs and kicking back the sand for some distance behind 

 with its hind legs. 



EUMENID^. ^ 



Montezumia impavida (Bing.), No. 260, ? in Col. Mus. (variety), 



F^from Nedunkerni, Northern Province, April, 1904. This is the 

 only specimen I have seen. 



*Montezumia rufipetiolata, n. sp. 6 from Mamadu, Northern 

 Province, in Col. Mus. 



Eumenes edwardsii (Sauss.), No. 3, ^ in Col. Mus., taken at Ritigala 

 rock (2,500 ft.), North-Central Province, July, 1887. Another in 

 Coll. 0. S. W. from Madulsima, August, 1904. This last varies 

 slightly, and I doubtfully identify it as E. edwardsii. Probably 

 a local race. 



Eumenes punctata (Sauss.), No. 52 (variety) in Col. Mus., from 

 Matale, is the only specimen I have seen. 



Eumenes esuriens (Fabr.), Nos. 158, 159, ? ? in Col. Mus., one from 

 Delft island, June, 1903, and the other from Battulu-oya, October, 

 1902. These vary slightly with the descriptions of the Indian and 

 Burmese forms, but are probably varieties, as the species is variable. 



*Eumenes ichnogastroides, n. sp. ?. Pig. 9. From Nedunkerni, 

 April, 190U, in Col. Mus. 



Rhynchium abdominale (Illig.), No. 21, ? in Col. Mus. from Put- 

 talam, another from Nedunkerni, Northern Province, April, 1904, 

 No. 267. A ^ in CoU. O. S. W. from Ganewatta, April, 1903.
