and posterior ones, entirely yellow; a black spot above towards

additional yellow band.

Collections. 
+4+ The only doubt which attaches to this being Pan- 
zer’s insect is, that he says the clypeus is entirely black, 
and that he figures the posterior coxee and trochanters of 
the same colour as the rest of the legs. I have not the 
least doubt that his Phil. quinquecinctus is the ¢ of it. 
Van der Linden therefore is incorrect in referring it to the 
Cerceris arenarius, which it cannot be, from the colour of 
the posterior tibie. The ¢ of the present insect differs 
very slightly from the preceding, somewhat in size, but es- 
pecially in the degree of the elevation of the central lobe 
of the clypeus. It occurs in abundance at Birchwood, in 
Kent, where I took it this summer.
