TO NEW GUINEA IN 1904 anp 1905. PART 1. 227 
the longitudinal furrow is shallow, but distinct ; it is widened 
at the base; the sides are straight, è. e. the segment is qua- 
drate, not of the usual cup-shaped form. The apices of the 
basal 2 segments of the abdomen are slightly, narrowly depressed. 
There are 2 short longitudinal furrows on the apex of the 
mesonotum ; there is a short wide depression on the apex of 
the scutellum in the middle; between the base of the meso- 
notal furrows, and, shortly beyond them, the mesonotum is 
almost smooth. 
From the form and colouration of this species. I have 
no doubt that it is from the Austral-Malay or Australian 
Regions]. 
Eumenus dorycus, Maind. 
What is probably the above species (described Ann. Soc. 
Ent. Fr. 1882, p. 273 and figured, l.c., Pl. 3, fig. 3, from 
Dorey and Andaic, New Guinea) has been taken by the Expe- 
dition at Etna Bay. As the specimen taken differs somewhat 
from the description I give a description of it. ©. Total
