the rocurreat uervare is distinct; the ai)ical abscissa of the 

 radius is oiily very siightly oblique. The 2'i<^l joint of the 

 auteuuae is roundly thickened anJ is two-thirds of the length 

 of the scape; the thickened club of the auteuuae is iiearly 

 as long as the precediug joints of the flagelUiui united. Me- 

 sopleurae more strongly punctured than the mesouotum; the 

 nietapleurae irr^gularly rugosely panctured; the sides of the 

 nietauotum are rugose, aluus': reticalatid. Th3 ablo:n;:i U 

 shagreeued, closely, niicroscopically panctured; the last segment 

 is broadly rounded and bro wn in colon i', Apex of clypeus 

 broadly, roundly incised as in J. dilucta André, the labruin 

 being also forined as in that species. 



The discovery of a speeies of Juartinia at Deesa, Western 

 India by Major C, G. Nurse is of considérable iuterest. Tlie 

 genus was described by Gribodo in Andre ■& Spéîiesdes HynK'ni, 

 11, 822. A few more speeies (also from Africa) hâve becn 

 described by Kohi. The capture of Juartinia and Maria in 

 Western India by Major Nui-.'ie, as well as the occurrence 

 there of Aptarogyna, confirms the opinion, as shown by other 

 branches of Zoology, that there is a distinct Africau élément 

 iu the West of India. Juartinia belongs to the faniily Ma- 

 saridae (Vespoidea). This makes the 2'^<1 famijy adiled to the 

 Indian Fauna siuce the appearauce of Binr/hams Fauna of 

 India, Hymen., the other being the Sapygidne. Cf. Cameron^

3Iacromeris aureopilosa Cum, 



lu the Journ. Straits Brauch Roy. Asiatic Soc, I described 

 this speeies from Bornéo. In the Zeits. für Hym. u. Dipter. 

 1902, p. 2 Mr. W. A. Schulz has pointed out tliat the 

 Pompiliis honestus 8m. is a Macromeris. I bave no doubt 

 that my speeies is ideutical with Jionesta. When describing M. 

 aureopilosa I did not thiuk of comparing it with honesta^ as 

 that speeies had beeu described by Bingham, Fauua of India 

 Hymen. 216 as a Pseudagenia. The speeies is probably 

 variable in the colouration of the legs. 



The genus Meria, 

 In the Jouru. Bombay Natur. Hist. Soc. XIV p. 274 

 I described a speeies of this geuus, the first recorded from 

 India. Further investigation has shown me that the name 

 Meria canuot be retaiued, it being clearly ideutical with 

 Myzine T.atr, (non Auct.) My speeies must therefore be 

 ealled Myzine qua dri?nacu lat a. For the speeies des- 

 cribed by Bingliam iu the Fauna of Brit. India, Hym. the 

 name Flesia must be used. For a révision of the Myzinidae 

 see Wm. H. Ashmead. Cauad. Eut. XXXV, 4—7.
