Gorytes auropilosellus, sp. n. 
Black, densely covered with pale golden pubescence ; a band one-fourth of 
its length, shortly behind the middle of the scutellnm, bands on the apiees 
of the 2nd to 5th abdominal segment, that on the 2nd fully one-fourth of the 
length of the segment, that on the others becoming gradually wider, on the 5th 
it soeupying the entire segment, the 6th entirely above and below, the apex 
of the 2nu ventral eee and the whole of the 3rd to 5th, yellowish fulvous. 
Antennal scape yellow below, joints 1-4 of the flagellum rufous below. The 4 
anterior femora, the tibiae, the apex of the hind femora on the apical half, except 
behind, rufotestaceous ; wings hyaline, the basal half and the anterior in front 
to the stigma suffused with rufo-fulvous, the radial cellule, the 2nd cubital 
and almost the front half of the 3rd fuscous ; the basal nervures to the stigma 
fulvous, beyond it black, the recurrent nervures are received in the apical 
fourth of the cellule ; they are separated from each other by slightly less than 
the space between the 2nd and the apex of the cellule. In the hind wing the 
accessory nervure is interstitial. The area on median segment large, clearly 
defined, closely, somewhat strongly striated ; the upper half of the apical slope 
punctured, the punctures large and clearly separated, the lower half strongly, 
closely, irregularly transversely striated. Pleure smooth, the apical half of the 
metapleure with weak scattered punctnres. There are two stronger striz down 
the centre of the metanotal area and a stronger single one down the apical 
slope. Pygidium fully twice longer than it is wiae at the base, gradually 
narrowed to a fine point at the apex, the sidcs bordered by a distinct raised 
keel ; there isa fine, not very distinct keel down the apex ; it is strongly, but not 
closely punctured and there is a smooth space shortly beyond the middle. 
The spines on the legs are fulvous ; those on the fore tarsi are long ; there are 
5 on their basal joint. Female. 
Length 12 mm. 
A stout robust species, having the appearance of a Vespid, e.g., Polyla. 
It belongs to Handlirsch’s group of phaleratus and is most nearly related, of 
the described species, to G. Polybia, Hand., which has also a resemblance to 
the Vespid Polybea. The eyes converge slightly above ; the ocelli are in a wide 
triangle, the hinder are separated from each other by a slight, but distinetly 
greater distance than they are from the eyes. There is a fine, but distinct 
keel down the lower half of the front ; there is also a fine keel down the apical 
half of the mesonotum. 
Nysson varipilosellus, sp. n. 
Black, the base of the mesonotum narrowly, the basal depression at the 
scutellum, and narrow lines on the apices of the basal 4 abdominal segments 
covered with pale golden pubescence ; the face, clypeus, malar space, base of 
mandibles, eye orbits, the pleurs, the mesopleure densely, the base and sices of 
the abdomen and the pygidium all over, covered with silvery pubescence ; there 
is a pale yellow line, shorter than the black central part ; the legs dark red, the 
hind coxe, the sides of hind femora and the hind tibiz black, the hind tarsi of 
a darker red: wings hyaline, slightly infuscated, very iiidescent ; the pedicle 
time 2 *
