Saunders. 
In my own and other Cabinets. 
A variety occurs with the pedicle of the antenne entirely rufous- 
brown. 
This species is somewhat less than, but very nearly allied to, Cerza 
vespiformis, Lat., from which however the black and yellow legs 
easily distinguish it. From C. subsessilis, Illig., it is distinguished 
by the length and colour of the pedicle of the antennz.

above, and four others in a transverse line joining the bases of 
the wings, also a yellow band extending downwards from the 
bases of the wings. Scutellum yellow. Abdomen with the first 
joint almost as broad as the second and third, rufous, margined
