segment with a raised area at the base ; pygidial area ovate, much broader 

 at the base than at the apex, very narrowly truncate at the apex, granu- 

 late. Closely and deeply punctured, the enclosed area at the base of the 

 median segment longitudinally striated, divided by a longitudinal groove. 

 First recurrent nervure received at one-quarter from the base of the second 

 •cubital ceil. Wings hyaline, strongly clouded with fuscous at the apex 

 .and in the radial cell. 



c? . Clypeus longer than broad, convex and truncate at the apex. 

 Apical joint of the flagellumnot curved, shorter than the penultimate. First 

 recurrent nervure received nearer to the base of the second cubital cell than 

 ;in the female. 



Habitat. — Northern India and Burma. 



Bingham has taken his description of unifasciata from Smith's type, 

 which came from North China and is not identical with the Indian species 

 for which Cameron's name must stand. Bingham's short description of the 

 female is apparently'' taken from an Indian specimen of the present species. 

 The form of the clypeus in the male is quite different in the two species. 

 I do not know that true unifasciata occurs in India. C. aureobarba Cam, is 

 undoubtedly a synonym, and must sink, as is the case with most of the 

 species of Cerceris described in the same paper.

$ . Clypeus as long as broad, the apical half depressed, broadly truncate 

 at the apex. Second joint of the flagellum longer than the third ; meso- 

 pleurce not tuberculate ; first abdominal segment longer than broad, second 

 ventral segment with a raised area at the base ; pygidial area elongate 

 ovate, nearly twice as broad at the base as at the apex. Strongly and closely 

 punctured ; the enclosed area at the base of the median segment longitu- 

 dinally striated at the base, finely punctured at the apex, with a deep 

 median groove. 



The abdominal yellow fasciae are not emarginate anteriorly.
