Hah. Eaf^lehawk Neck ; March. 



Taken on dead Eucalyptus-trees in which old beetle-lioles 

 were numerous. Doubtless this little wasp makes its nests 

 in these abandoned holes.

Hob. Hobart [Walker). 



I have taken tiiis species as far north as Cooktown and 

 also at Yallingup and Kalamunda in S.W. Australia. It 

 probably ranges over the whole continent. 



Chlorion (Isodontia) ohscurellus^ Sm. 

 Sphex obscwella, Sm. Cat. Hym. B.M. iv. p. 251 (1856). cS 2 < 



Hub. Hobart ( WoMer). 



This is very near the wide-ranging nigellus, Sm., but hag 

 the petiole distinctly shorter. 



Sphex {Psammopkila) suspi'ciosa, Sm. 

 Ammophila suspiciosa, Sm. Cat. Hym. B.M. iv. p, 214 (1856). § J . 



I have seen Tasmaiiian specimens of this species. It has a 

 wide range in the southern and interior districts of Australia.

Hah. Eaglehawk Neck; February. Launceston (-iS'/mso?^). 



This species ranges over the whole southern portion of 

 Australia from Sydney to Perth. It appears to be uncommon 

 in the west. No other species of the genus occurs in 

 Tasmania.
