A itenn(e with the third joint as long as first one. '/7iva,v 

 covered with ashy-grey and brown tomentum, stripes not 

 visible. Abdomen with the black spots and narrow yellowish - 

 hairrd sedimentations, pnbesccnce elsewhere chiefly black. 

 Genitalia with very long npper forceps joining at end, 

 nuder pair as long, enrvd up to them, the last segment of 

 abdomen below somewhat produced. V. d. Wulp says the 

 ovipositor is short, and gives the length as 16-18i mm. 

 This male measures abont 15| mm. 



In the types of P. calonficus the hairs of palpi are black 

 aiid yellow. Ovipositor of female short, black. 



The male of P. calonficus is smaller than that of P. con- 

 color, but the genitalia in both are identical. 



In v. d. Wulp's figure the lower forceps are not so long, 

 and do not rc;ich up to the upper pair as they do in both 

 these males. In spite of this, I believe they are the same 

 species. 



Legs reddish, the fore and middle femora with a short 

 black streak above, the hind pair wholly reddish ; tarsi 

 black.
