This lovely species is fairly common in Tenasserim, and is one of the 
few Pompilide I have noticed as occasionally coming into buildings 
and houses in the jungle. Ina “ zayat” (rest-house) near the large 
village of Kawkareick in the Haungdraw valley, I found its nest in the 
latter end of May, and watched a female carrying a huge hairy spider 
to it. The nest was in a crevice between one of the wooden posts and 
the side walling of the rest-house. I was only passing by, and was 
unfortunately pressed for time, and so Iam unable to record whether 
the insect subsequently closed up the hole with earth. 
2. PS9EUDAGENIA AEGINA, Smith. 
PSEUDAGENIA GINA, Smith, Proc. Linn. Soc., IT, 94, 9. 
Hasirat : Borneo (Sarawak), Tenasserim (Yunzalin valley, Ataran 
valley). 
I found this pretty and well-marked little species frequenting the 
bushes and moving over the stones in a quick excited way in the dry 
beds of streams in the hot weather, 
The clypeus is oval, broader than long, and in the female produced 
sharply to a point ; in the male it is transversely truncated anteriorly. 
The face in front, the coxee of all the legs, and the abdomen are in 
fresh specimens covered by a glistening sericeous pile in fine contrast 
to the dull red of the thorax.

AGENIA ALARIS, Sauss., Hym. d. Novara Reise, 52. 
Hasirat: Ceylon, Tenasserim (Thaungyin valley). 
Rare. I have only come across it on one occasion, when I caught some 
five or six specimens in a deserted garden close to a village in the 
Thaungyin valley. They were flying about and alightng every now 
and then on the broad leaves of a species of cucumber. 
4, PSEUDAGENIA BIPENNIS, Saussure. 
AGENIA BIPENNIS, Sauss., Hym. d. Novara Reise, 52. 
Hasirat : Ceylon, Tenasserim (Ataran valley). 
Rare. I have one specimen, a male, which flew into my tent while 
in camp one day in the Ataran valley. 
5. PSEUDAGENIA TINCTA, Smith. PI. I, Fig. (nest). 
Pompinus tinotus, Smith, Cat. Hym., MS., B. M., ITI, p. 146, 132. 
Hasirat : India, Burma, Tenasserim. 
This is the commonest of the genus Pseudagenia, and is generally dis- 
tributed. I have specimens from all parts of Tenasserim, also from the 
Pegu Yoma and from near Rangoon.
