turn cMcli pair of IVet. It then invariably Hies ofV with its 

 prey for a few yards and usually to a higher (,'lcvation. Here 

 it makes its toilet, rubbing its legs together and cleaning them 

 between its mandibles, and it then proceeds to sting its victim 

 again in the ventral surface of each segment, usually from before 

 backwards, commencing at the 4th and sometimes in regular 

 order, though this is not invariable. The wasp then flies 

 high with its prey and is gone. 



" In the vicinity of Domira ]3ay, Lake Nyasa, the |)redaceous 

 enemies commonly attacking these larvae seemed to be ants, 

 especially Camponotids, which made organised hunts for them. 

 In such cases the larvae invariably made their bid for safety 

 by means different from those employed against the attack 

 of the Eumenid, letting themselves down by a thread and 

 remaining suspended in mid-air until the danger had ])assed. 

 In this case it seemed to be the younger larvae rather than 

 the older ones which were sought by the ants."
