In 1890 I identified this species with Smith’s msect. Mr. Cameron 
(loc. cit.) from the description recognized it asnew. I have since pro- 
cured specimens of the true P. fenestrata, both from India and Burma, 
and find on comparison that the red mesothorax in P. cameroni is a 
constant and well marked difference. I have ventured to name 
the species after Mr. Cameron.

T have ventured to re-name this species as I find the name /asczata 
pre-occupied (Smith, Cat. Hym. Ins. B. M., Pt. IL, p. 169, 8). 
This species seems always to occur in dense forests by streams, 
In May I procured both ¢4 and 2 @ by the bank of a mountain 
torrent on the Dawnat range at about 1,500 feet elevation. 
The ¢ resembles the @ but is smaller (16 m.m., 2 23. m.m.); the 
deep blue-black of the abdomen is duller, bemg only just visible in 
certain lights, the wings are infuscated further towards the base, and 
are longer in proportion than those of the 9. 
The above 27 species are all the Pompilede from Tenasserim in my 
tollection which I have been able to identify. I possess examples of 
at least twice that number of species which I have not yet been able 
to compare with descriptions and work out. .

A beautiful specimen of this species was kindly sent tome by Mr, 
Cumming of the Telegraph Department from Karachi. It is a 
lovely insect, and I regret the plate does not give much idea of the gor- 
geous purple tints of the wings, metathorax ahd abdomen, the rich
