Placed by the author between Bomhus and the vague new genus next 
below mentioned, the only comparative character given being that the 
aspect of the body and of the abdomen is very much like that of Scolia.

“ Pseudo-Nyssonf g. n., id. 1. c. p. 104. The author does not know in 
what family this should be placed. Its eyes are strongly emarginate as 
in the Diploptera, but the wings are not folded, and the body is not 
glabrous. In form and marking of abdomen, it approaches Tachytes ; in 
neuration of upper wings, clypeus, and mandibles, it comes near Nissonf 
but the maxillae, labrum, and labium form a tube as in the Apides. For 
P.-N.fasciatus, sp. n., p. 105, pi. ii. fig. 7, S.E. Caucasus.
