The type of this species is in the British ]\Iu.seum collec- 

 tion, and is a Salius, not a Pompihis.

Mygnimia depressa, Sauss. Dist. Nat. Transvaal, 1892, p. 219. 



Seventeen females and twenty-three males, Barberton 

 [Rendall); Pretoria [Distant); Johannesburg [Gregoe). 



The insect I identify as the Pompilus Tamiserii of Gudrin 

 agrees exactly with Guerin's description and figure. It is a 

 variable species in size and in the amount of yellow on the 

 apical segments of the abdomen. Mj/gnimia insignisy Smith, 

 seems to me to be a large race of S. Tamiseri.
