Sp. Sphex sabulosa L. (Ammophila) , PANZER, Deutschl. Ins. Heft 65. Tab. 

 12, &c. 



Pompilus FABR. Protliorax produced as far as anterior wings, 

 subquadrate, not narrower forward. Abdomen with very short 

 petiole. Posterior feet long, ciliated on the inner margin. Cubital 

 cells three, or two, alone. Antennae as in the preceding genus. 



Sub -genera : Aporus SPINOLA, Planiceps LATR., Pompilus LATR., 

 Ceropales LATR., FABR., Pepsis FABR. (in part), LATR. 



On these and other sub-genera conip. LEPELET. Hymenop. in., and

 i. 1837, pp. 313354. Tab. IV. 



Sp. Pompilus viaticus FABR., Sphex fusca L., PANZER, Deutschl. Ins. Heft 

 65, Tab. 16; DUMER. Cons. gen. s. L Ins. PI. 33, fig. 3, &c. 



Sapyga LATR., Hellus FABR. Prothorax transverse, produced 

 to anterior wings. Abdomen elongate, shortly petiolate. Labrum 

 not or scarcely exsert. Mandibles strong. Eyes emarginate (lunate). 

 Antennae of length of head and thorax at the least, towards the 

 apex thicker or sub-clavate. Feet short, slender, with smooth 

 tibiae. 



Sp. Sapyga quinquepunctata LATR., Gener. Crust, et Ins. Tab. xni. fig. 9, 

 (of which perhaps Sapyga varia, Encycl. meth. and GUERIN, Iconogr. Ins. 

 PI. 69, fig. n, is merely, as LEPELETIER supposes, a variety), habit, in 

 France. 



Note. Genus Polochrum SPINOLA, unknown to me, differs from Sapyga 

 by its antennae filiform. 



Here also were referred formerly genera Thynnus FABR. (in part), LATR., 

 and Scotcena LATR. Partly at least they belong to the Mutillaria, and contain 

 males of genus Myrmecoda. Comp. also genus Amblysoma WESTW. anc 

 Anodontyra ejusd., GUERIN, Magas. de Zool. 1841, Ins. PI. 80, 81; females 

 are unknown. 



Scolia FABR. Prothorax produced laterally as far as wings, as 

 in the preceding genus. Eyes emarginate, reniform. Antenna 

 thick, filiform, in males almost of the length of head and thorax
