356 Mr. R. E. Turner on Fossorial Hymenoptera. 
sparse fulvous hairs ; scutellum shining and almost smooth. 
Abdomen rather sparsely punctured, much more closely at 
the apex of the segments than at the base; sixth tergite 
densely clothed with golden hairs; sixth sternite with a 
small spine on each side near the base. Hind calcaria 
strongly spatulate. 
3. Antenne 5}mm., costa of fore wing 9mm. Clypeus very 
broadly rounded at the apex, with a few large punctures. 
Eyes very deeply and rather narrowly emarginate ; head, 
thorax, and median segment rather closely punctured and 
sparsely clothed with whitish hairs.. Abdomen shallowly 
and rather sparsely punctured, with sparse white pubescence, 
the segments faintly tinged with blue. First tergite bell- 
shaped, shorter than the second, the apex not constricted and 
at least half as broad as the apex of the second; seventh 
tergite punctured-rugose, broadly rounded. Three cubital 
cells, the third much broader on the radius than on the 
cubitus, in one specimen only connected with the cubitus by 
a petiole, recurrent nervures separated on the cubitus by a 
distance equal to the length of the radial margin of the third 
cubital cell.

The neuration of the sexes differs as in the Palearctic 
villosa, Fabr., to which the male is very closely related, 
though the first tergite is a little narrower and more constricted 
at the apex in villosa. The colour of the wings and haus in 
the female is very different, also of the legs and antenne, 
and the sculpture differs. The female is the type.

(1864) (nec Klug). 
As I have previously pointed out, Saussure wrongly iden- 
tified Klug’s species ; so apparently Cameron’s name must 
stand for this common species. WD. dispilus, Cam. 1910, is 
probably the male.
