PREFACE.

THE object of the present Catalogue is to give a complete
list of all the genera and species of the Solitary and Social
Wasps (VESPID.E) which have been described in works,
and a description of those in the British Museum which
appear to be hitherto undescribed.

The letters B.M. in the margin indicate the species now
contained in the Collection of the British Museum, and
their absence those which are desiderata.

HYMENOPTERA.

Div. II. ACULEATA.

Tribe 3. DIPLOPTERA.

Group 1 . Solitary Wasps,

Fam. 1. MASARID^E.

This family contains some very anomalous species of Wasps,
many of them differing in various characters from the true
Vespidce, but in one important characteristic they correspond
with the latter family, — the prothorax is always prolonged back-
wards to the base of the wings. The anterior pair of wings have
only two submarginal cells. The genus Paragia differs from the
rest in not having the wings folded when in repose, and in some
of the species having the eyes ovate, or but very slightly emar-
ginate.

iridescence, the anterior margin of the superior pair having a
dark fuscous stain. Abdomen smooth, covered with fine change-
able pile ; the petiole armed on each side with a short stout acute
tooth, the extreme apex beneath slightly ferruginous.

Var. A narrow yellow line at the lower portion of the inner

This species closely resembles Eumenes colona, and both are
found in St. Domingo ; but, irrespective of size, the present
species has the petiole of a different form, being wider and more
convex towards the apex ; the rest of the abdomen is more glo-
bose and not subpetiolated as in E. colona.

2. ABISPA AUSTRALIS. B.M.

Female. Length 1 inch. — This species closely resembles A.
splendida, but appears to be intermediate between that species
and A. ephippium. From A. splendida it differs in having the
head entirely yellow ; the scutellum and post-scutellum yellow ;
the metathorax is proportionably longer, its lateral posterior
angles are acute, and on each side is a sharp serrated ridge ; the
basal segment of the abdomen has the sides less distinctly
rounded. From A. ephippium it is distinguished by the colour-
ing of the basal segment of the abdomen, which in this species
is black, with a broad yellow band on its apical margin which
widens at the sides ; the segment is also more campanulate than
in A. ephippium, which has the segment entirely yellow.

Hab. Port Essington.
This insect is regarded by Saussure as a variety of A. splendida ;

HYMENOPTERA. 43

if it be a variety, it must, I think, be so of A. ephippium : this
point must be left for future determination by some entomolo-
gist resident in Australia who can carefully observe the habits
of the insect.

Female. Length 4^ lines. — Black : covered with ochraceous
pubescence, and having also a clothing of changeable pale golden
pile, that on the abdomen very brilliant in some positions ; the
clypeus truncate at the apex, the lateral angles acute, sub-
dentate ; a yellow spot between the antennae and another at the
apex of the clypeus. The thorax slightly narrowed anteriorly
and posteriorly ; the anterior margin of the prothorax not raised
or sharply truncate ; the metathorax rounded at the sides and
truncate posteriorly and slightly concave ; the wings hyaline, the
anterior margin of the superior pair yellowish, the nervures fer-
ruginous. Abdomen : the first segment much narrower than the
second, strongly punctured, its apical margin marginate ; the
apical margin of the second and three following segments with a
broad yellow fascia; the apical segment yellow with a black spot
in the middle of its base ; the fasciae on the segments continued
beneath.

This species closely resembles Odynerus brevithorax, but the
thorax is not quadrate as in that insect, the metathorax is not
widely truncate, nor is the post-scutellum produced at its apical
margin : the form and sculpture of the basal segment are very
different.

the knees, tibiae and tarsi ferruginous ; the wings fusco-hyaline,
darkest along the anterior margin of the superior pair; the
thorax beneath, the femora and abdomen beneath, covered with
a fine silky silvery pubescence. Abdomen with an orange band
on the apical margin of the first segment, which is recurved on
each side ; the rest of the abdomen orange-red above, with a
large subangular black spot at the base of the second segment
extending to two-thirds of its length ; beneath, the first and
second segments black, the second with an orange fascia on its
apical margin suddenly widened on each side ; the following seg-
ments have their apical margins yellowish.

Hab. Australia.

13. ALASTOR CARINATUS.

Female. Length 6 lines. — Black: the head and thorax
coarsely punctured ; the clypeus longer than broad, slightly re-
flexed at the apex, which is truncate ; above and between the

margin of the prothorax ; the wings fuscous, darkest along the
anterior margin of the superior pair ; the knees and the tibiae
ferruginous, the latter dusky outside ; the metathorax truncate,
the truncation slightly concave, with an impressed longitudinal
line in the middle. Abdomen : the first segment truncate at the
base, with a slight carina at the verge of the truncation, which is
rugose; the first segment with an orange band on its apical
margin, widest and notched in the middle and emarginate on
each side ; the other segments yellow ; the base of the second
segment black at the base, forming an angular shape in the
middle, and with a square notch on each side ; beneath, tuber-
culate in the middle of its base.

Hab. Adelaide. (Coll. F. Smith.)

This species is allied to the A. aureocinctus of Guerin, which
has the basal segment of the abdomen truncate ; but that insect
has the clypeus bidentate at the apex, and has also a minute

spot beneath the wings, and a minute one on each side of the
scutellum, white ; the wings subhyaline, with the anterior margin
of the superior pair darkest ; the scale black, the tibiae and tarsi
ferruginous. Abdomen : the basal segment much narrower than
the second and with a few scattered punctures ; the apical margins
of the first and second segments with a narrow white band.

Note. — M. Saussure considers the Vespa Britannica of Leach
synonymous with V. sylvestris ; that this is an error, is proved
by an examination of the identical specimens, which are figured
in the ' Zoological Miscellany ;' the specimen of the female is
one having only a slight tinge of red on each side of the
second segment of the abdomen, which is the characteristic of
a large majority of the British examples of this sex of the spe-
cies, but it is not indicated in the figure ; in the figure of the
male the rufous spot is omitted ; but in that of the worker, the
black band on the second segment is obliterated on each side,
leaving only the transverse black stripe so characteristic of the
species : the specimens figured by Dr. Leach are in the collection
of the British Museum, and each one has the name Britannica,
in Leach's handwriting, attached to the specimen ; this places
the matter beyond a doubt. It may also be well to mention the
fact, that in a whole brood of Vespa Norweyica obtained from
the North of England, not more than a dozen of the females had
the red spot at the sides of the second abdominal segment ; in
Vespa Norwegica the second black band is not produced into an
angular point on its lower margin in the middle, but in Vespa
sylvestris it is always so.

This species somewhat resembles the Vespa velutina, from
which it is distinguished by having a larger head, which is wider
than the thorax ; the basal segment of the abdomen is propor-
