ber of species (of which a full synonymy is given) is 49 — namely, 
of Crabro 30, of Lindenius 2, of Oxybelus 4, of Cemonus 6, of 
Diodontus 3, of Passalcecus 3, and Stigmus 1. Of these species 
4 are described as new. 
Brischke (Schr. Kon. phys.-bkon.Ges. zu Konigsb. v. pp. 208-

of Prussia, founded upon an examination of Morawitz^s paper.
