MR. F. SMITH ON HYMENOPTEEOUS INSECTS 



the legs with black pubescence. Abdomen broad, depressed, finely 

 punctured, its margins fringed with black pubescence. 



Male. Length 12 lines. Like the female, with the following differences : 

 the eyes very large, nearly touching on the vertex ; the clypeus trian- 

 gular, the anterior margin fringed with short pale pubescence ; the 

 thorax clothed in front with short cinereous pubescence ; the an- 

 terior tarsi dilated, fringed with black pubescence behind ; beneath it 

 is nearly white ; the wings narrow, pointed at their apex equally bril- 

 liant as those of the female ; the posterior femora curved, and, as well 

 as the tarsi, fringed with black pubescence. 



Hab. Ternate. 



This species is very distinct from X. latipes : the scape of the antennae is 

 perfectly cylindric; the anterior tarsi are not so broadly dilated, are 

 clothed above with short black hair, and with long hair of the same colour at 

 their margins ; the clypeus entirely black. It is also quite distinct from 

 the X. Latreillii of St. Fargeau.
