ON NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN HYMENOPTERA. 377 
The nest mentioned above, when I caught the 9, was unfinished, 
but some seven or eight unfortunate cockroaches were stuffed tightly 
in, and were all semi-unconscious but still living. 
The markings on the head and thorax and the colour of the legs of 
the @ depicted in the plate are shown of a reddish-yellow instead of 
a clear chrome-yellow.

PoMPILUS BRACATUS, Bingh., Jour. Bom. Nat. Hist. Soc., V, 236. 
Haspitat: Burma, Tenasserim. 
Since describing this species in 1890, I have found it common in 
the more open forest along the foot of the Dawnat range in Tenasserim. 
Tn coloration it curiously resembles Salius (Priocnemis) peregrinus, 
Smith. 
23. POMPILUS ANALIS, Fabricius. 
SPHEX ANALIS, Fabr. Ent. Syst. II, 209, 42. 
Hasitat: India generally, Burma, Tenasserim, Malacca, &. 
This widely distributed species is one of those which often come into 
houses hunting for the smaller Zycosa or wolf-spiders, with which it 
stores its nests.

Hasirat: Hast India, Sumatra, North China (Smith), Burma, 
Tenasserim. 
This common species is rather variable in colouring. The form got 
in Pegu has the head and thorax reddish-yellow ; the Tenasserim form 
has the same parts more or less variegated with black. One specimen 
I procured on the Dawnat range is a most lovely insect, having the 
yellow and black on the pro- and mesothorax sharply defined, and the 
metathorax on its dorsal surface covered with rather long glistening 
golden pubescense.
