unidentate at their base below; the abdomen subsessile, broad and 
opaque black. In certain lights the sides of the metathorax, the 
coxe, and the basal segment of the abdomen are seen to be covered 
with a thin silvery pile. 5 
Pundaloya (Green coll.). 
This well-marked little species might, at first sight, be mistaken 
for Pseudagenia cegina, Smith ; but, beyond the difference of genus, 
it can be distinguished by its red head, black metathorax, and non- 
fasciated wings.

Forms, as noted by Mr. Cameron, a transition to the Ferreola 
group of the genus Pompilus. Originally described from Bengal, 
it occurs also in Burma.

This species closely resembles the preceding, and may be identical 
with it, but I have provisionally kept it distinct, as the shape of 
the front of the head seems to distinguish it from P. dimzdratipenms.
