616 Mr. Edward Saunders on 
Bronzy-green, sparingly clothed with white hairs, legs and antennz 
black, apical margin of the abdominal segments widely pale in the 
9 narrowly in the ¢, in which latter sex a spot at the apex of the 
clypeus, the base and apex of the tibse and all the tarsi, except their 
apical joints, are pale yellowish white. 
¢ head very large, wider considerably than the thorax, dull, and 
very finely and closely punctured, face across the eyes longer than 
wide, cheeks somewhat angularly produced above the base of the 
mandibles, elypeus and centre of face below the antennz shining 
and more largely punctured, with a yellow spot at the apex, the 
colour extending a little backwards in a central line. Eyes scarcely 
converging, antenne black, the joints slightly swollen beneath, those 
of the flagellum beyond the 3rd, about once and a quarter as long as 
wide; mesonotum shining, closely punctured but much less so than 
the head, tegule pale, wings hyaline with brown nervures, the stigma 
paler, propodeum with a well-defined subtriangular basal area, which 
is irregularly and longitudinally rugose, sides of the propodeum 
rugosely punctured ; abdomen very shining, not very closely punc- 
tured, the 2nd and 8rd segments with a basal patch of white 
pubescence on each side, the Ist and 2nd rather deeply impressed at 
the apex laterally, apices of the segments beneath simple, widely 
pale, the 6th, at any rate as much as is visible in this specimen, 
testaceous, legs clothed with short white hairs. 
9 in sculpture resembling the ¢, eyes more convergent, pale 
bands at the apices of the segments very broad, the apical rima 
and sides of the 5th segment also pale, 2nd and 3rd segments with 
lateral white pubescent spots at the base as in the ¢, 4th witha 
continuous band, tibiz narrowly paler at the base and apex, 2nd 
segment beneath with very long pale hairs. 
Long. 5°6 m.m. 
Allied to Smeathmanellus but differing in the pale 
tarsi, ete., of the 2 and the puncturation and pale apical 
margins of the segments in the ?. It is also closely allied 
to simulans, Perez, but the propodeal area is striate or 
vaguely so, and the apices of the abdominal segments are 
not punctate as they are said to be in that species. 
This species is named in honour of Mr, A. H. Hamm, 
who has done so much in collecting and observing the 
British Aculeate Hymenoptera.
