Pundaloya (Oreen coll.). 



The two specimens in Mr. Green's collection have much darker 

 wings than the type which is in the British Museum, but they 

 agree very well with Mr. Smith's description. Kohl unites Sphex 

 tyrannka, Smith, with this species. I have examined the types of 

 both, and they seem to me quite distinct species, markedly in the 

 shape and form of the clypeus, petiole, and abdomen, and in the 

 colour of the wings and legs, as shown in Plate XV. figs. 1 and 3.
