86 HYMENOPTEUA FROM SARAWAK. 



the third segment is" almost entirely rufous; the fourth and fifth 

 segments are more or less rufous laterally ; the apical fringe on 

 the second andfollowing segments is bright rufous; the pygidium 

 is thickly covered with pale golden pubescence, which probably 

 varies in tint. 



Comes near to E. luctuosa Sm. and E. 4 guttulata Burm., 

 but has the abdominal markings red, not yellow. E. luctaosd 

 differs from it further in having the wings darker, more 

 uniformly blue- violaceous in colour, in the scutellum and post- 

 scutellum being much more strongly and broadly punctured, 

 the punctuation on the former extending to near the apex, while 

 the latter is strongly punctured at the base and apex.

Hab. Sarawak, Borneo (Shelford). 



Antennae bare, uniformly ferruginous. Head ferruginous, 

 densely covered with golden pubescence, the lower outer orbits 

 black. The apex of the clypeus is depressed, clearly separated, 

 smooth, bare and broadly rounded ; the sides straight and ob- 

 lique. The apex of the mandibles black, the rest ferruginous ; 

 the palpi ferruginous. The eyes distinctly converge above 

 where they are separated by not much more than the length of 

 the fourth antenna 1 joint ; the hinder ocelli are separate from 

 the eyes by a slightly greater distance than they are from each 

 other. Thorax black, the hinder half of the pronotum, the 

 mesonotum and the scutellum ferruginous ; and the whole is 

 covered with a golden pile. The prone turn is furrowed in the 

 middle : the mesonotum is broadly rounded at the base ; it is 

 alutaceous. The scutellum is flat, smooth and is not much 

 raised above the top of the post- scutellum ; the latter is broadly 

 rounded from the top to the bottom ; the sides of both have a 

 distinct oblique slope (and more particularly the post-scutellum) 

 so that both are narrowed on the top. The part at the sides of
