G08 Mr. R. E. Turner on Fossorial Ilymenoptera. 



The male only of rubescens is described. The markings on 

 four specimens of the present species which are before me do 

 not vary appreciably ; but colour in this genus is often 

 unreliable.

E. arcuata is merely a variety with clear hyaline wings > 

 the wings in the type of intaminata are unusually dark ; it is 

 probably from a more northern locality. The first abdo- 

 minal segment seems to be distinctly longer and more slender 

 in the Patagonian form of the species than in the Chilian 

 specimens^ but they do not differ otherwise except in the 

 length of the third abscissa of the radius^ which is shorter in 

 the Chilian form. I do not think they can be treated as 

 distinct species; but if they are, then Andre's name should 

 stand for the Patagonian form.

My identification of Ashmead's genus, of which the type 

 was undescribed, was incorrect, as has been pointed out by 

 Mr. Rohwer, who renamed the genus Tumerdla. That 

 name, however, was used by Professor Cockerell for a genus 

 of bees ; his paper was published in Loudon on the same 

 day as Mr. Rohwer's paper was published in America, and I 

 believe the name should be retained for the bee. 1 therefore 

 have to propose a new name for the genus.
