PREFACE.
THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete
list of all the genera and species of Fossorial Hymenoptera
which have been described in works, and a description
of those in the British Museum which appear to have
been hitherto overlooked.
The letters B.M. in the margin show the species now
contained in the British Museum, and their absence indi-
cates those which are desiderata, and therefore desirable to
be procured for the Collection.

Hab. Guinea. (Coll. W. W. Saunders, Esq.)

ration of the wings, be easily mistaken.

Hab. ?
This insect appears to be the Podium rufiventre of Fabricius ;
the large depressed head, the large eyes, and above all the white
scutellum, are described in the Sy sterna Piezatorum ; the latter
is not strictly correct, the white being a patch of silvery pubes-
cence beneath the scutellum.
