158 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Very distinct by the peculiar marking of the cheeks. Super- 
ficially it looks like a small example of C. luzonicus makilingensis, 
‘Ckil., from the same locality, but genalis has no triangle of 
white hair on mesothorax anteriorly, the dise of the mesopleura 
is not densely covered with hair, the b.n. falls a considerable 
distance short of the t.m. (meets it in makilingensis), the arma- 
ture at the apex of the abdomen is quite different, and there 
are many other differences, showing that the two species are 
not closely allied. 
Nomia longitarsis, sp. n. 
$. Length about 10 mm.; black, with the clypeus (except sides 
-above), labrum and greater part of mandibles pale testaceous ; tongue 
linear, very slender ; face narrow, densely covered with pale golden 
hair; front dull and densely punctured ; ocelli large, the lateral ones 
with a small shining space lateral of them; antenne long and 
slender, the scape and base of flagellum, and whole lower side of 
flagellum except apex, bright ferruginous; thorax with pale fulvous 
hair, dense in tubercles, postscutellum and greater part of meso- 
pleura, but mesothorax and scutellum, seen from above, appearing 
bare; mesothorax dull, densely punctured ; scutellem bigibbous, the 
prominences shining ;-postscutellum unarmed; base of metathorax 
with a narrow arcuate shining channel, crossed by little ridges; 
tegule rather large, light fulvous; wings greyish, stigma (which is 
rather small) and nervures dull ferruginous; legs slender; femora at 
apex and largely beneath, tibize entirely, middle and anterior tarsi, 
and extreme base of hind tarsi, all light ferruginous; hind femora 
‘slender, hind tibie arcuate, hind tarsi very long (a little over 4 mm.) ; 
the hind tarsi are mainly black, but the last joint is red; abdomen 
well punctured on first two segments, weakly on the others; hind 
margins of segments (including first) with orange-fulvous tegumentary 
bands ; second segment ferruginous basally ; apex very broad, broadly 
emarginate. 
Hab.—Mt. Makiling, Luzon (Baker, 5000). A distinct and 
peculiar species, which runs in my table of Philippine Nomia 
(‘ Entomologist}? August, 1915, p. 179) to 5, and runs out on 
account of the colour of the bands. (In this table, at 4, read 
“* not covered with hair,” instead of ‘‘ but,”’ etc.) 
In the paper just cited the type locality of N. palavanica is 
omitted; it is P. Princesa, Palawan (Baker coll., 3848). Addi- 
‘tional specimens from Baker enable me to add some localities 
for two species: . 
Nomia takauensis philippinensis, Fr. Mt. Makiling. 
Nomia incerta, Grib. Mt. Makiling ; Mt. Banahao; Dapitan 
(Mindanao). 
Noma hippophila, Cockerell. 
Two females from Yarrawin, N.S.W. (Froggatt, 233 ©, pt. ; 
‘249 c) are referred here, as they are somewhat smaller and less 
robust than N. flavoviridis, with the tegule fulvous, and the
