Black, a broad yellowish white line on the apex of the pronotum, the basal 
4 abdominal segments red, the apices of the segments broadly darker, probably 
in fresh examples covered with a silvery pile; wings uniformly fuscous, the 
nervures and stigma black, the basal 2 abscisse of the radius almost equal in 
length, the 3rd about one-fourth of their length, the 2nd and 3rd transverse 
cubital nervures roundly curved, the 3rd more rounded and more oblique 
than the 2nd ; the Ist recurrent nervure is received in the apical fourth, the 2nd 
shortly before the middle: transverse median nervure interstitial ; the acces- 
sory nervure in hind wings received beyond the cubitus. Tibial and tarsal 
spines black ; the long spur of hind tibie two-thirds of the length of metatar-

Length 12 m.m. 
The pubescence is dense and dark silvery. The eyes converge above and 
are roundly incised on the inner side above the middle. Hinder ocelli separated 
from each other by about the same distance as they are from the eyes. Face 
long. Apex of clypeus bluntly rounded. Apex of pronotum almost angled 
in the centre. 
Pompilus moorei, sp. 0. 
Black, covered with a pale golden pile; wings bright yellowish hyaline, 
a fuscous band of equal width, extending from shortly behind the transverse 
basal and transverse median nervures to shortly beyond the base of the cubitus, 
the cloud wider behind than beyond the transverse basal nervure at the 
costa, a wider cloud extending from the base of the radius to the 3rd trans- 
verse cubital nervure, narrowed and rounded at the apex, it not reaching much 
beyond the anal nervure ; the apex bordered by a narrow cloud ; transverse 
basal nervure interstitial ; the 2nd abscissa of radius one quarter longer than 
the 3rd ; the Ist recurrent nervure is received near the apical third. the 2nd near 
the basal third; the 3rd_ transverse cubital nervure is obliquely bent toward 
the base of the 2nd from near the middle, the 2nd recurrent nervure is broadly, 
roundly curved outwardly ; the accessory nervure in hind wings interstitial,

Length 18 m.m. 
Apex of clypeus bluntly obliquely rounded. Eyes converging at the top. 
Hinder ocelli separated from each other by a slightly greater distance than 
they are from the eyes. Apex of pronotum broadly rounded. Apex of meta- 
notum with a steep slope, with 4 or5 stout, curved transverse strie. Abdomen 
clearly longer than the head and thorax united. The long spur of the hind 
tibie is one-third of the length of the metatarsus and a little longer than the 
3rd joint. Claws bifid, the inner claw a little longer and thicker than the 
outer. Tibial and tarsal spines short ; they are more numerous on the tarsi. 
Metanotum hardly +o long as it is wide at the base. Metatarsus of the fore-
