(a) Ichneumonidae (Ophioninae).

(1) OpJiion sp. from Madara. 1 specimen.

(2) Hemicospilus sp. 4 specimens from cAin Sala, Hadh Faris
and Hawaya. These do not agree with any named species in the
British Museum.

(b) Braconidae (Cheloninae).
Phanerotoma sp. 1 from Madara.

(c) Eumenidae.
(Solitary true wasps.)
Odynerus sp. near 0. floricola Sauss. 1 from *Ain Sala.

(d) Pompilidae (Psammocharidae).

(Solitary fossorial wasps preying on spiders, with which they
provision their nests.)

(1) Pfatyderes sp. 1 from Bani Jafnan.

(2) Pompilus sp. near P. platyacanthw Kohl. 1 from 'Ain Sala.

(e) Scoliidae.

(Solitary parasitic wasps. In cases where the habits of these
insects are known they are parasitic on the larvae of beetles of the
Cockchafer type, but this may not apply to the genus referred
to here.)

Iswara sp., possibly I. chobauti Andre, a species recorded
from Baluchistan. 7 specimens (all males) from Bani Jallab,
Wabar, Shanna, Naifa and Qa'amiyat. The males in this genus
are fully winged and, presumably, good fliers; the females are
short-winged and probably quite unable to fly.

(/) Bees.

Megachile sp. (a small leaf-cutter bee). 1 specimen from
Abal Khadim.

(g) Ants.

(1) Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex) <x?wz^e^5^ F., subsp. ^omctczw
F. From 'Ain Sala (1 soldier, 2 large workers, 1 small worker).
Exactly the same subspecies was obtained by Bertram Thomas hi
the Qara mountains. Previously recorded from the deserts of
Algeria and Tunisia.

(2) Messor barbams L., subsp. semirtifus Andre, var. nigriceps
Santschi. 3 workers from Tuwairifa. This form of the species
was previously recorded from Palestine. The form of Messor
barbarus obtained by Bertram Thomas in the Qara mountains is
different, and is distributed through Abyssinia, the Sudan and
Tropical Africa.
