dilatatis, apice late vix oblique truncatis, extus spinosis, 
supra linea eievata prope suturam^ griseo-pubescentibus 
subnitidis; pedibus robustis, tarsis posticis curtis^, tibiis 
multo brevioribus ; abdomine (segmento basali rufo ex- 
cepto) nigroj segruento ultimo ventrali apice truncate^ 
angulis longe spinosis. 
Long. lin. ( ? ?) . 
In the form of the terminal ventral segment, and the 
shortness and stoutness of the hind tarsi, this species 
agrees with E, latipennis, Serv.

This bears the closest resemblance to a large wasp of the 
genus Epipone, and was captured by me as such, flying 
in the forest at Ega; it was only after examination at 
the bottom of my net, that I found it was not a wasp. 
Subsequently I saw three examples at myrtle blossoms, 
but by an unlucky shaking of a branch, missed them all, 
as they took to flight instantly. 
Lacordaire appears entirely to have overlooked New- 
man^s genus. I am inclined to think the species he 
describes is the same as Newman^s. 
Sub-fam. Moloechin^.
