Type locality. — Davao, Mindanao. 
Type. — Catalogue No. 23584, United States National Museum. 
Luzon, Tayabas Province, Malinao {Baker 5230 ) 1 male 
paratype. Mindanao, Davao ( Baker 6921 ) 1 female, ( Baker 
6907) 1 male. 
Scolia (Scolia) auripennis Lepeletier. 
Recorded from the Islands but not in the Philippine collection 
before me. 
Scolia (Scolia) erratica Smith. 
Scolia erratica Smith, Cat. Hym. Brit. Mus. 3 (1855) 88; Turner, 
Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. VIII 8 (1911) 619. 
Scolia molesta Saussure and Sichel, Cat. Spec. Gen. Scolia (1864) 
111 . 
The specimens assigned to this species agree well with Saus- 
sure’s account and are easily distinguished from Scolia wester- 
manni by the sparse punctuation of the propodeum and the 
shorter antenna of the male. 
Luzon, Laguna Province, Los Banos ( Baker 832 ) 1 female; 
Mount Maquiling, 1 male. Panay, Antique Province, Culasi, 
June 1, 1918 ( McGregor ) 1 male.

111 . 
A single male collected by B. Arce and under accession 
No. 1591, Bureau of Agriculture, P. I. 
Scolia (Scolia) nanilae Ashmead. 
There is practically no doubt that this species was first 
described by Smith under the name Scolia modesta, but inas- 
much as none of the females before me have “a round macula” 
on the third segment (the mark when present being an oval 
or elongate spot) and none of the males agree with Smith’s 
description in having the scutellum, metanotum, and propo- 
deum marked with yellow, it seems desirable to delay synony- 
mizing Ashmead’s name until Smith’s type can be examined. 
Most of the specimens of this common species show very 
little variation. One female from Los Banos, however, has the 
abdomen entirely without yellow marks, but two other females 
from the same locality (one under Baker No. 1709) have the 
marks of the abdomen reduced to a varying degree thus con-
