dilatatis, apice late vix oblique truncatis, extus spinosis, 

 supra linea elevata prope suturam, griseo-pubcscentibus 

 subnitidis ; pedibus robustis, tarsis posticis curtis, tibiis 

 multo brevioribus ; abdomine (segmento basali rufo ex- 

 cepto) nigro, segmento ultimo ventrali apice truneatOj 

 angulis longe spinosis. 



Long. 4^ lin. ( ? ?) . 



In the form of the terminal ventral segment, and the 

 shortness and stoutness of the hind tarsi, this species 

 agrees with E. latiponnis, Serv.

This bears the closest resemblance to a large wasp of the 

 genus Epipone, and was captured by me as such, flying 

 in the forest at Ega; it was only after examination at 

 the bottom of my net, that I found it was not a wasp. 

 Subsequently I saw three examples at myrtle blossoms, 

 but by an unlucky shaking of a branch, missed them all, 

 as they took to flight instantly. 



Lacordaire appears entirely to have overlooked New- 

 man^s genus. I am inclined to think the species he 

 describes is the same as Newman's.
