Indian Aculeate Hymenoptera. 401 



truncate apically, finely transversely striate, with three 

 median longitudinal carina, slightly converging at apex, and 

 reaching the verge of the truncation. Black, with sparse 

 greyish pubescence; mandibles red in the centre; fore wing 

 flavo-hyaline, liind wing hyaline, nervures testaceous, stig- 

 mata and tegular nearly black. 



Long. 9 millim. 



Hab. Kashmir, 5000-6000 feet. Three specimens. 



This species is closely allied to my T. conscia described 

 from Deega in Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. xiv. no. 1, 

 p. 81. The latter should come into Bingham's key at p. 57 

 after T. consiieta, and not as stated by me in describing it, 

 as the tarsi are black, not testaceous. The present species 

 is larger than T. conscia, the fore wing has a more decidedly 

 flavous tinge, and the median segment is distinctly, though 

 very finely, transversely striate, and not smooth. 



Myzine apimacula, Cam. 



S . Head, thorax and abdomen sparsely punctured, shining, 

 clypeus rounded anteriorly^ the apex curved inwards, scarcely 

 emarginate; head about the width of pronotum, which is 

 transverse anteriorly, median segment narrower than pro- 

 notum, rounded at sides and apex ; abdomen nearly half as 

 long again as head and thorax united, almost pseudo-sessile, 

 the petiole being extremely short, all the segments more or 

 less constricted. Black : the clypeus anteriorly, two lateral 

 spots at base of the pronotum and its apex narrowly, a spot 

 on all the tibiie at base, the tarsi, and transverse median 

 spots on abdominal segments 2-5, with minute lateral spots 

 on the same segments, pale yellowish white ; mandibles, 

 flagellum of aniennse, and apical three abdominal segments 

 dark red ; wings hyaline, nervures and stigmata testaceous, 

 tegulse pale yellow, with a black median spot. 



Long. 9 millim. 



Hah. Deesa. 



This species would come into Bingham's key on p. 65 

 under a new subsection a' . " Abdomen black at base, red at 

 apex." When Cameron described the female I had only 

 taken that sex, but I subsequently obtained the male above 

 described, which I feel sure is of the same species as the 

 female described by Cameron in Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 vol. xiv. no. 2, p. 272. 



Scolia pila, Nurse. 



When I described this species in the Journ. Bomb. Nat. 

 Hist. Soc. vol. xiv. no. 1, p. 82, I had not a specimen of 

 Ann. & Mag. N. Hist. Ser. 7. Vol. xi. 29
