" I possess two specimens agreeing with Guérin’s description as to colour, but only measur- 
ing 5 lines long (instead of 15 mill.), and having no tooth in the basal segment to the abdomen 
beneath, no carina between the upper part of the eyes, but having five teeth at the extremity 
of the abdomen, the middle one not being recurved at all. I therefore do not consider this 
insect (which I name Thynnus deciptens), as belonging to the genus Rhagigaster.
