was evidently not acquainted with Anthobosca at the time 
of writing his description, and I doubt if the points of 
distinction will prove to be of generic value.

Saussure places violacea, Lepel., in Diliacos. It is un¬ 
doubtedly the species I referred to insularis., Sm. My 
identification is certainly correct if the species so named 
in the British Museum by Smith is identical with the 
type, which I have no reason to doubt. Smith, how¬ 
ever, does not put insularis in the Liacos group in his 
description. 
Scolia (Trielis) techowi, sp. nov. 
9. Clypeus raised, flattened in the middle and irregularly longi¬ 
tudinally striated, the anterior margin depressed and rounded, the 
striated area as long as broad, rounded at the base. Head shining, 
sparsely punctured, almost smooth round the ocelli, closely punc¬ 
tured between the antennae ; the posterior ocelli a little further 
from the eyes than from each other. There is a very obscure, im¬ 
pressed, transverse line on the front half-way between the base of the 
antennae and the anterior ocellus. Thorax rather sparsely, but 
very deeply punctured, the scutellum very sparsely punctured, 
pleurae finely punctured, the sides of the median segment shining 
with a few very small and shallow punctures. Median segment and 
fourth and fifth abdominal segments finely and closely punctured, 
the three basal segments of the abdomen more sparsely punctured, 
the second and third smooth in the middle. Sixth dorsal segment 
rounded at the apex, with a blunt spine on each side, longitudinally 
rugose-striate. Third cubital cell rather variable in shape, usually 
a little more than half as long on the cubital as on the radial nervure, 
the second transverse cubital nervure often incomplete, when com¬ 
plete almost interstitial with tlie inner margin of the radial cell; the 
stigma large. 
Black; mandibles and flagellum beneath fusco-ferruginous;
