Mr. Rowland E. Turner’s Notes on the Scoliidae. 397 
the median segment more distinct, the median one ex¬ 
tending to the apex, the head and thorax more coarsely 
punctured and the stigma on the forewing a little smaller. 
The male of himalayensis (= ccinaliculata, Cam.) has the 
radial cell shorter than in swilaensis, the sculpture of the 
median segment much coarser, the wings darker and the 
clypeus without the feeble emargination on the anterior 
margin. But Bingham took himalayensis in Sikkim in 
April at 4000 ft. elevation. My Assam specimens were 
all taken at an elevation of from 5000 to 6000 ft., near 
Shillong. 
My suggestion of seasonal dimorphism in this genus is 
merely tentative, and is put forward in the hope that it 
may lead to further observation on the subject, and to more 
importance being attached to accurate dates of capture by 
Hymenopterists. 
Sub-family COSILINAE. 
Anthohosca arahica, sp. nov. (Plate L, fig. 3.) 
5 Clypeus almost triangular, triincate at the apex, smooth and 
shining. Mandibles stout, without teeth, rather blunt at the apex. 
Head scarcely broader than the thorax, shining, rather sparsely 
punctured and thinly clothed with long cinereous haiis, the punc¬ 
tures closer on the front than on the vertex. Ocelli in a broad tri¬ 
angle, the posterior ocelli not quite as far from each other as from 
the eyes. Antennae short and stout, the scape shining and smooth, 
the second joint of the flagellum shorter than the third. Thorax 
and abdomen shining, sparsely punctured; median segment very 
minutely and rather closely punctured; pronotum much longer than 
the mesonotum, very slightly narrowed anteriorly, scutellum very 
broadly rounded at the apex ; propleurae shining, very sparsely 
punctured, mesopleurae more closely punctured, metapleurae smooth 
and shining. Median segment shorter than the pronotum, gradually 
sloped to the ape.x. First abdominal segment nearly as broad at the 
apex as the second segment, obliquely sloped anteriorly, with a sharp 
Carina at the base beneath, without a groove between the first and 
second ventral segments ; apical dorsal segment punctured rugose, 
with close pale fulvous pubescence at the base, more finely punc¬ 
tured and narrowly rounded at the apex. Posterior tibiae much 
broadened, anterior tarsi with a comb, tarsal ungues bifid. Wings 
not reaching the apex of the abdomen, radial cell rounded at the 
apex, not reaching beyond the third cubital cell; second abscissa of 
the radius longer than the first, but a little shorter than the third,
