are fusco-hyaline with a darker area along the costal margin including 
the costal end of the median, stigmal, first cubital, and radial cells and 
continuing beyond the cellular area nearly to the tips of the wings. The 
part of this darkened area within the cells is faintly yellowish, that 
beyond is smoky. The wings have slight purplish metallic reflections 
when held at certain angles. The nervures are dark ferruginous. The 
specimen is quite coarsely covered with whitish hairs except the dorsum 
of the last three segments of the abdomen where they are yellowish. 
The above specimen, a male, was taken in Lower California 
and is now in the collection of the American Entomological 
Society at Philadelphia. 
The type specimen was taken in Colorado. 
These two specimens agree very well with Saussure’s. 
description of consors and the writer thinks that they will 
probably prove to be the same species. Because so little 
material could be examined, further collecting and study should 
prove or disprove the above conclusion. If the writer is. 
justified in the above statement then the name amoena should 
fall and consors take its place. The specimens in the Philadelphia 
collection have been placed under the name consors. The writer 
does not know who is responsible for this. 
Scolia cubensis. New species. 
Type, a female from Cuba now in the collection of the 
American Entomological Society at Philadelphia, and the only 
specimen I have seen. 
The specimen measures twenty-three mm. in length. 
The body color is dark brown, almost nigro-ferruginous. The wings. 
are uniformly brownish-fuliginous with metallic reflections blue at some 
angles, purplish at others. The nervures are brown. The specimen as 
a whole has a glistening appearance and is remarkably free from punc- 
tures or hairs. Most of the hairs present are deep red brown, and the 
punctures are shallow. : 
The head is more triangular than those of the other species of this. 
subfamily and the eyes are comparatively much smaller. In other 
species they extend from very close to the base of the mandibles to quite 
near the top of the head: here they start well up from the base of the 
mandibles and reach only about 2-3 of the distance to the top of the 
head. Viewed from the side they take up only about one-third of the 
usual space.
