Larrada vindex, Smith, Journ. Linn. Soc. 1860. 



An example from Kwatisoré, August, is probably this species, which was described from Batjan. 



It is not in fresh condition but it agrées fairly well with Smith's description, so far as 

 that goes. The wings are hyaline suffused with fulvous, the apex with a violaceous tinge ; 

 the 2 nd and y A cubital cellules are equal in length in front; the récurrent nervures are 

 received at the apex of the basai third of the cellule. The pygidium is densely covered with 

 dark golden-rufous pubescence; the pubescence on the head and thorax is pale golden (pro- 

 bably bright golden in fresh spécimens); on the apices of the abdominal segments silvery. 

 Mesonotum and scutellum minutely punctured ; the médian segment obscurely transversely 

 striated. Legs spines black. 



Cerceris Latr. 



1. Cerceris papuana sp. nov. 

 Manokwari, May. 



Black ; the clypeus, face, inner orbits to shortly above the antennae (the line obliquely 

 narrowed) the scape of the antennae beneath except at the apex, 2 oval marks near the 

 base of the 2 nd abdominal segment, a band on the apex of the y& segment, narrowed in 

 the middle, laterally extending to near the base, a mark on the sides of its ventral surface, 

 a longitudinal line on the sides of the 4*, a transverse one, not reaching to the middle, on 

 the sides of the 5 th , its apex dilated, the greater part of the fore femora, tibiae and tarsi in 

 front and, to a less extent, behind, a line on the middle femora, the middle tibiae, except 

 for a black mark near the middle in front, the middle tarsi, except the apices of the joints 

 which are darker coloured, a narrow line behind the middle of the hind tibiae, their extrême 

 apex and the calcaria, yellow. Wings hyaline, the radial cellule and the apex smoky; the 

 stigma and nervures black. Ç. 



Length 9 mm. 



Metanotal area smooth and shilling; furrowed down the centre; the base of the furrow 

 with transverse keels, the apex with 4 stout keels which extend laterally beyond the furrow. 

 Front and vertex closely and strongly, the clypeus less closely punctured. the apex of the 

 latter slightly bilobate in the middle, the sides thickly covered with white pubescence. Labrum
