SOME PHILIPPINE WASPS OF THE FAMILY 
CHRYSIDID^E 
By S. A. Rohwer 
Honorary Custodian of Hymenoptera, United States National Museum 
In some Philippine Hymenoptera received for identification 
from the Philippine Bureau of Agriculture was a new subspecies 
of Stilbum cyanurum. This new subspecies is described and 
some synonymy indicated in the present paper. In addition to 
this all the specimens of Philippine chrysidids in the collections 
of the United States National Museum are listed. 
Ellampus (Holophris) bakeri Mocsary. 
A single female of this species was collected by C. R. Jones 
and is recorded under No. 1708, Bureau of Agriculture, P. I. 
Hedychrum stantoni Ashmead. 
The single male type from Manila, collected by W. A. Stanton. 
Chrysis (Hexachrysis) comottii var. igniceps Mocsary. 
A single female under accession No. 1403, Bureau of Agricul- 
ture, P. I., collected by C. R. Jones. 
Stilbum cyanurum var. chrysocephalum Buysson. 
Stilbum splendidum var. chrysocephalum Buysson, Ann. Soc. Ent. 
France 66 (1897) 544. 
Stilbum cyanurum var. flammiceps Mocsary, Philip. Journ. Sci. § D 
8 (1913) 288. 
There is nothing in the original descriptions of these two 
varieties which would indicate that they are different, and 
I believe the above synonymy is correct.
