8. PEPSIS COMPLETA. B.M. 
Female. Length 10 lines.—Black: clothed with a green or 
blue-green pilosity, four or five of the apical joints of the an- 
tenne yellow; the metathorax transversely striated, convex, and 
rounded behind ; the wings dark rufo-fuscous, with a changeable 
violet iridescence, and having a broad transverse, complete, yel- 
low band, crossing the wings about one-third from their base ; 
abdomen bright blue-green. 
Hab. Brazil. 
This species is closely allied to the Pompilus dimidiatus of Fa- 
bricius, from which it principally differs in the situation of the 
band, which constantly extends further on the wings, and the 
inferior wings are always black at the base.
