eye, a mark at base of antennas, pronotum, a small spot on 

 disc of mesonotum on each side, yellow ; mandibles, joints 

 1—6 of antennae, line behind the eyes, a long mark on meso- 

 pleurae on each side, postscutellum behind, median segment 

 (except a longitudinal mark in centre), petiole (except the 

 base, a small spot on upper surface near apex), second abdo- 

 minal segment \entrally and laterally, abdominal segments 

 3-6 on apical margin, the whole ventral surface of abdomen, 

 legs (with the exception of trochanters, tarsi, and posterior 

 femora on the inside), ferrugineous. 



Wings golden hyaline, slightly fuscous in radial cell 

 and on the apical area. Clypeus broadened from the base, 

 greatest width rather more than half the length, truncate, 

 produced and narrowed towards apex. Petiole long and very 

 slender, as long as thorax, gradually widening towards apex, 

 a small spine on each side. Following segments of abdomen 

 elongate-ovate. Punctured ; vertex and thorax evenly and 

 finely, second abdominal segment finely striate. Terminal 

 joints of antennas gradually increasing in size towards the 

 apex, terminal joint forming a hook. 



Length 20 mm.

Nearly allied to E. latreillei. Sauss., and E. bicincta, Sauss., 

 but differing from them in the much slenderer petiole, and 

 in the ferrugineous bands on the apical margin of the 

 abdominal segments. 



Eumenes (Pareumenes ?) austraJensis, sp. n. 



<$ . Black ; clypeus, scape of autennae beneath, sinus of 

 the eyes, a line behind the eyes on each side, large quad- 

 rangular mark between antennae at base extending back 

 along the vertex, pronotum reaching back to tegulae, a large 

 ovate spot on mesopleurae on each side, a minute spot on the 

 tegulae, two large median quadrate spots and a small spot on 

 each anterior angle of scutellum, a large elongate yellow mark 

 on median segment on each side, an irregular broken line on 

 apex of petiole above, apical margin above and a conspicuous 

 mark at the base of second abdominal segment on each side, 

 third and fourth abdominal segments dorsally, yellow. 

 Anterior and intermediate femora and tibiae yellow. Flagel- 

 lum of antennae and tarsi ferrugineous. Wings hyaline, with 

 a pale golden effulgence, rather more conspicuous along the 

 costal area; second abscissa of radial cell very short, about I as 

 long as the third. Clypeus broadly ovate, truncate at the base,
