610 Mr. Edward Saunders on 



Bronzy-green, sparingly clothed with white hairs, legs and antennae 

 black, apical margin of the abdominal segments widely pale in the 

 $ narrowly in the ^ , in which latter sex a spot at the apex of the 

 clypeus, the base and apex of the tiboe and all the tarsi, except their 

 apical joints, are pale yellowish white. 



(^ head very large, wider considerably than the thorax, dull, and 

 very finely and closely piinctixred, face across the eyes longer than 

 wide, cheeks somewhat angularly produced above the base of the 

 mandibles, clypeus and centre of face below the antennae shining 

 and more largely punctured, with a yellow spot at the apex, the 

 colour extending a little backwards in a central line. Eyes scarcely 

 converging, antennae black, the joints slightly swollen beneath, those 

 of the flagellum bej^ond the 3rd, about once and a quarter as long as 

 wide ; mesonotum shining, closely punctured but much less so than 

 the head, tegula; pale, wings hyaline with brown nervures, the stigma 

 paler, propodeum with a well-defined snbtriangular basal area, which 

 is irregularly and longitudinally rugose, sides of the propodeum 

 rugosely punctured ; abdomen very shining, not very closely punc- 

 tured, the 2nd and 3rd segments with a basal patch of white 

 pubescence on each side, the 1st and 2nd rather deeply impressed at 

 the apex laterally, apices of the segments beneath simple^ widely 

 pale, the 6th, at any rate as much as is visible in this specimen, 

 testaceous, legs clothed with short white hairs. 



$ in sculpture resembling the ^, eyes more convergent, pale 

 bands at the apices of the segments very broad, the apical rima 

 and sides of the 5th segment also pale, 2nd and 3rd segments with 

 lateral white pubescent spots at the base as in the ^ , 4th with a 

 continuous band, tibiae narrowly paler at the base and apex, 2nd 

 segment beneath with very long pale hairs. 



Long. 5'6 m.m. 



Allied to Smeathmanellus bat differing in the pale 

 tarsi, etc., of the ^ and the puncturation and pale apical 

 margins of the segments in the ^. It is also closely allied 

 to simulans, Perez, but the propodeal area is striate or 

 vaguely so, and the apices of the abdominal segments are 

 not punctate as they are said to be in that species. 



This species is named in honour of Mr. A. H. Hamm, 

 who has done so much in collecting and observing the 

 British Aculeate Hymenoptera.
