The males of Section 2 are difficult to separate, and even the 
genitalia do not appear to differ here. Additional material and 
more study will probably improve the status of the species of 
this genus in the Philippines.

Many more species remain to be discovered, and if the giants 
among the Cicindelidae, as Manticorna of Africa and Amblyc hila 
of North America, and the remarkably-formed arboreal species 
of Indo-Malaya and other parts of the tropics, some of whose 
larvae dwell in holes in twigs instead of in the soil, have their 
respective Methoca or allied enemies, then we must look for some 
wonderful species among these wasps.
