408 Mr. E. Saunders on 



testaceous femora black at the base, intermediate coxae each bearing 

 a black, slender, nearly straight spine. Abdomen slightly shining 

 very finely rugulose with the first segment clothed with hairs as the 

 thorax, the rest glabrous, all the segments bearing broad bisinuate 

 apical testaceous bands, the bands of the 1st and 2nd segments so 

 produced at the sides towards the base, as to leave a square black 

 central emargination, segments beneath very finely and closely 

 punctured, 2nd with a free testaceous spot on each side in some 

 specimens, often wanting. 



9 (?) The female which I associate with the <$ has exactly similar 

 bands on the abdomen, and is very similar otherwise, with the 

 exception that the scutellum is ferruginous except at its extreme 

 base and that the sides of the propodeuin have the angles rather 

 produced but obtuse and widely yellow and the 2nd segment of the 

 abdomen beneath is nearly entirely ferruginous, shining, and rather 

 obsoletely punctured, there is also a testaceous line on the lower 

 internal orbit of the eye and a large spot behind nearly on the vertex 

 scarcely indicated in the $ and a spot on the mesopleura under 

 the wing.
