Nomia mediorufa morata subsp. nov. 
Female. — Length, about 7 millimeters. Differs from typical 
N. mediorufa Ckll., from Formosa, as follows: Flagellum black 
above except apically; band on second abdominal segment inter- 
rupted in middle; first and second abdominal segments red 
apically, or first all red except lateral subapical dark patches. 
Male. — Slender, with clavate abdomen, the first segment en- 
tirely red, the second broadly red in middle apically ; face densely 
covered with tawny hair; antenna very long, flagellum entirely 
ferruginous beneath ; all the tarsi cream-colored more or less 
tinged with reddish; anterior tibia pale ferruginous, as also 
the other tibia at base and apex, and the middle ones largely 
in front; hind legs slender and simple; wings dusky, with a 
diffuse apical cloud; stigma and nervures pale brown; stigma 
large; second submarginal cell receiving first recurrent nervure 
in middle; second abdominal segment finely but distinctly punc- 
tured, and depressed or constricted basally. 
Singapore {Baker). The type is a female ( 9983 ) with broad 
black band on first abdominal segment. The male is Baker 
9607. 
Nomia scutellata remolita subsp. nov. 
Male. — Differs from typical N. scutellata Smith by the wings 
not being clear hyaline. It is very close to N. ustula Ckll., but 
hind trochanters of male are not toothed, the apical lobe of 
hind tibiae is dark, the stigma yellowish ferruginous, and the 
area of metathorax distinctly sculptured, with cross striae in 
middle and fine plicae at sides. It is also near to N. takauensis 
Friese, from Formosa, but differs in the color of the abdominal 
bands, which are yellowish brown in takauensis. It is also very 
near to N. philippinensis (Friese). All these insects form a 
little group, with representative races or species in different 
regions, from India and Ceylon to Formosa and the Philippines. 
In remolita the abdominal hair bands are dull white, and the 
wings are dusky brownish, with a relatively small ferruginous 
stigma. 
Singapore {Baker 9608). Nomia scutellata was described 
from the female. Meade- Waldo ascertained that N. albofimbriata 
Cam. was identical, and believed that N. ustula Ckll., from Cey- 
lon, was the male.
