Indian Aculeate Ilymenoptera. 513 



median segment much below the level of raesonotum and 

 scutellum, rounded posteriorly, and sloping gradually to apex; 

 abdomen about the length of head and thorax united. Red : 

 the antennae at apex fuscous, and the apical second, third, or 

 fourth segments of the abdomen shading off into black or 

 fuscous ; pruinose, in some specimens there is a little silvery 

 pile on the clypeus and front, otherwise almost devoid of 

 pile; apical two segments of abdomen with a few stiff fuscous 

 hairs. Wings hyaline at base, shading off into subfuscous at 

 apex ; three cubital cells, the second measured on the cubital 

 nervure longer than the third, which is about half as wide at 

 the top as at the bottom ; nervures dark fuscous, te^ulse red. 



Long. 10-12 millim. 



Hah. Deesa, Mt. Abu ; not common. 



This is closely allied to the three rufous Pompilid^ de- 

 scribed by me in the Journal of the Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 vol. xiv. no. 1, p. 84 (P. horatlus, hrutus, and cassius). It 

 can be distinguished from all of them by having the median 

 segment red, not black, and the abdomen black or dark 

 fuscous at apex.

 above, the first segment much longer than its width at apex ; 

 legs sparsely spinose, the calcaria of intermediate and pos- 

 terior legs remarkably long. Black : the apex of posterior 

 femora and the whole of posterior tibijs red ; two small sub- 

 lateral spots on second, and a band, narrowed in the centre 

 at base of third abdominal segment, yellowish white; head' 

 scape of antennse, and pronotum with somewhat sparse
