156 HYMENOPTERA FROM SARAWAK, 
obscurely transversely striated and thickly covered with silvery 
pubescence. The tibize are not grooved and are sparsely 
covered with short spines; the tarsi are more thickly spined ; 
there is a straight tooth near the middle of the claws. The 
Ist transverse cubital nervure is rounded, obliquely bent on 
the top; the 2nd abscissze of the radius and cubitus shorter 
than the 3rd ; the lst recurrent nervure is received almost in 
the centre of the cellule; the transverse median nervure is 
received distinctly beyond the transverse basal; the accessory 
nervure in the hind wings 1s distinctly appendiculated. 
The temples are well developed and rounded broadly be- 
hind ; the median segment is longer than usual, has an obliquely 
rounded slope and is indistinctly furrowed down the middle; 
the pronotum is as long as the mesonotum and is rounded at 
the apex; the pygidium is thickly covered with long fuscous 
hair, is opaque, with a shining line in the centre. 
Pompilus panyasis, sp. nov. 
Black ; thickly covered with silvery pile; the wings fus- 
cous-hyaline, the apex from the base of the stigma much 
darker and witha distinct violaceous tinge; the base of the 
mesonotum with the sides straight and oblique, the apex of the 
pronotum therefore not rounded. Q. 
Length 12 mm. 
Hab. Penrissen. 
Apex of clypeus broadly rounded. Eyes parallel, very 
little converging above. Hinder ocelli separated from the 
eyes by more than double the distance they are from each other. 
temples very little developed ; the occiput transverse. Prono- 
tum moderately large, the sides rounded. Median segment 
short, rounded ; pilose and thickly covered with long pale hair. 
Tibiz and tarsi stoutly, but not thickly, spined. Second cubital 
cellule about one-third shorter than the third; the 1st trans- 
verse cubital nervure is oblique and rounded; the 2nd is not 
oblique and is broadly, roundly bent towards the apex of the 
wing; the lst recurrent nervure is received shortly beyond 
the middle; the 2nd near the apex of the basal third of the 
cellule; the accessory nervure in the hind wing is interstitial. 
The transverse basal nervure is roundly curved.
