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



sparse fulvous hairs ; scutellura shining and almost smooth. 

 Abdomen rather sparsely punctured, mucii more closely at 

 the apex of the segments than at the base ; sixth tergite 

 densely clothed with golden hairs; sixth sternite with a 

 small spine on each side near the base. Hind calcaria 

 strongly spatulate. 



cJ . Antennse 5^ mm., costa of fore wing 9 mm. Clypeus very 

 broadly rounded at the apex, with a {qw large punctures. 

 Eyes very deeply and rather narrowly emarginate ; head, 

 thorax, and median segment rather closely punctured and 

 sjiarsely clothed witli whitish hairs. Abdomen shallowly 

 and rather sparsely punctured, with sparse w^Iiite pubescence, 

 the segments faintly tinged with blue. First tergite bell- 

 shaped, shorter than the second, the apex not constricted and 

 at least half as broad as the apex of the second ; seventh 

 tergite punctured-rugose, broadly rounded. Three cubital 

 cells, the third much broader on the radius than on the 

 cubitus, in one specimen only connected with the cubitus by 

 a petiole, recurrent nervures separated on the cubitus by a 

 distance equal to the length of the radial margin of the third 

 cubital cell.

The neuration of the sexes differs as in the Palsearctic 

 villosa, Fabr., to which the male is very closely relate 1, 

 though the first tergite is a little narrower and more constricted 

 at the apex in villosa. Tiie colour of the wings and hairs in 

 the female is very different, also of the legs and antennae, 

 and the sculpture diilers. The female is the type.

As I have previously pointed out, Saussure wrongly iden- 

 titied Klug's species ; so apparently Cameron's name must 

 stand for this common species. D. dispilus^ Cam. 1910, i.s 

 probably the male.
