 hills."

Eumenis thelephassa, Hiibner, Saraml. exot. Schmett. ii. pi. 85 

 (1816-24). 



" Very common at the beginning and middle of May in the 

 nullahs and on the rocky slopes at the foot of the hills, resting under 

 the shade of rocks and stones during the heat of the day, and flying 

 about in the early morning and evening, when it is easily captured. 

 In June scarcely a specimen was to be found."

*' This appears to be rather rare, but is most probably common in 

 other localities or seasons. I found one male in the middle of May, 

 and one female at the end of May : the sexes are verv much alike."
