I have examined the types of P. pedestris and P. canifrons, 
Smith, both in the British Museum, and find that they belong to 
the genus Pompilus and not to Priocnemis=Salius, Cam. (apud 
Kohl). 
194. Pomprius aRRoGANS, Smith. 
Pompilus arrogans, Smith, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1873, pt. ii. 187,

Pundaloya (Green coll.). 
Originally received from Japan, this species seems to have a 
wide range; I have found it fairly common in Sikkim and Burma. 
There are two specimens in Mr. Green’s collection.
