7- Dorylus Hindostanus. Plate I. fig. 1 .

Length 1 inch. — Rufo-fuscous, smooth, and covered with fine
glittering downy pile : mandibles slender and acuminate at the
apex ; the face, base of the mandibles, the coxae, and apex of the
abdomen with long curling pale yellow hair ; face and forehead
slightly prominent ; the ocelli in an equilateral triangle, the face
deeply sulcated in front of the anterior one ; the antennae seta-
ceous, the scape about half the length of the flagellum. Thorax
gibbous in front, the scutellum transverse ; the metathorax
abruptly truncated, the margin of the truncation fringed with pale

duncle quadrate-convex; compressed beneath into a subtrian-
gular form ; the peduncle much narrower than the following
segment ; the terminal segment very pilose.

Hab. India (Punjaub).

This species is most closely allied to the D. Juvenculus, Shuck.,
but may be distinguished by the different form of the under side
of the peduncle ; its forehead is less convex, and its peduncle
narrower in proportion to the following segment.

Sect. 4. — Peduncle quadrate ; mandibles broad and nearly

triangular.

6. Labidus atriceps.

Length 7 lines. — Body reddish, pubescent ; head black ; the
face anteriorly, and the ridges between the antennae at their
base, the mandibles and antennae, rufo-testaceous ; the ocelli
of glassy brightness, and placed in a triangle on the vertex.
The anterior wings fulvo-hyaline, with the nervures brownish
red ; the thorax punctured above, not very closely so ; on each
side an impressed line runs from the scutellum nearlv to the
anterior margin of the mesothorax ; the posterior tibiae as wide
as the femora, narrowed at the base, two-thirds of their length
towards the apex of the same width, and narrowed from thence
to the base; the basal joint of the tarsi broadest at the base.
Abdomen curved ; the peduncle of a subtriangular shape above,
concave, with the margins raised, and smooth and shining. The
insect covered with a fulvous pubescence.
Hab. Brazil (Ega, on the Amazons).

I have scarcely a doubt of this being the Labidus Latreillii,
although in one particular it somewhat differs. In the original
description of the ' Nouveau Dictionnaire d'Hist. Nat.,' the tibiae

(') HYMENOPTERA.

are described as increasing in thickness to their extremity, the
spur at their apex broad at the base, as is also the basal joint
of the tarsi. In the insect described, the tibiae are of equal
thickness two-thirds of their length ; in other respects they
perfectly agree.

7. Labidus morosus.

Male. Length 9 lines. — Brown-black, covered with fine brown
silky pubescence : the ocelli placed in a curve on the vertex,
not smaller than in the other species, the space between the
posterior pair smooth and shining and slightly concave; the
antennas, mandibles, and legs rufo-testaceous; the mandibles
long and very slender. Thorax oblong- ovate, gibbous in front
and at the scutellum ; wings brown, the nervures brown-testa-
ceous ; the marginal cell acute at the base and apex, extending
beyond the second submargiual cell one-third of its length ; the
second submargiual cell narrow, receiving the recurrent nervure
one-third from its base; the legs slender, covered with long
hair. Abdomen with the margin of the segments slightly con-
stricted, and rufo-testaceous ; the apex of the abdomen and the
ventral segments with long fine hair; the peduncle transverse;
concave above, the lateral posterior angles prominent and obtuse ;
the apical segment compressed vertically; the apical ventral
plate furnished with two acute, stout, curved spines.
Hab. Mexico.

This species in some respects resembles Labidus D'Orbignii,
described in Shuckard's ' Monograph ;' but the size of the ocelli,
form of the peduncle, and different neuration of the wings ap-
pear to characterize a distinct species.

8. Labidus amplipennis.

Male. Length 7 lines. — Rufo-testaceous : the head fuscous ;
the ocelli large, glassy bright, placed on the hinder margin of the
vertex in a slight curve ; the face anteriorly, the labrum, and
antennas rufo-testaceous. Thorax very gibbous in front, as also
at the scutellum ; the metathorax perpendicularly truncate ;
wings ample, one-fourth longer than the entire insect; the
nervures testaceous ; the marginal cell lanceolate, acute at the
apex, nearly as long as the first and second submarginals united ;
the first submargiual oblique-quadrate, its width half that of
the lower margin of the second submarginal, the latter narrowed
towards the marginal cell ; the legs slender. Abdomen shining ;
the peduncle quadrate, slightly concave above, and of the same
width as the abdomen ; the apical segment fusco-ferruginous.
Hab. Bogota.

HYMENOPTERA. /

9. Labidus pilosus. B.M.

Length 9| lines. — Rufo-testaceous : the head blackish, ex-
cepting the anterior margin of the face, the mandibles, and an-
tennaj, which are of the same colour as the body. The thorax
of a darker colour above than the abdomen, punctured and
shining; the sides, the metathorax, and the legs with long
pale pubescence ; the wings hyaline, the nervures ferruginous ;
the mesothorax not gibbous in front. Abdomen covered with
dense shining silky pile; the peduncle transverse, subtriangulai\
with the sides slightly rounded.

Hab. Brazil (St. Paul's). (Coll. H. W. Bates.)

10. Labidus Mexicanus.

Length 6 lines. — Pale rufo-testaceous, covered with pale
shining pubescence : eyes large, black, and prominent ; the
ocelli glassy bright ; on each side of the anterior one an elevated
carina, which passes between the antenna? to the anterior margin
of the face, forming a deep smooth channel ; the antennae shorter
than the thorax, stout, and tapering to a point at their apex.
Thorax very gibbous in front and at the scutellum ; the wings
wanting. Abdomen : the margins of the segments slightly con-
stricted ; the peduncle transverse, the lateral margins not ele-
vated, slightly convex in the middle.

4. iENICTUS PUBESCENS.

Length 3^ lines. — Rufo-testaceous, densely clothed with pale
pubescence : the head black and shining ; the mandibles and
antennae rufo-testaceous ; the ocelli in a curve on the vertex, and
situated on the sides of a central elevation ; the mandibles long
and curved. The thorax obscure ferruginous ; wings hyaline
and iridescent, the nervures and stigma dark brown. Abdomen
densely clothed with long decumbent silky pubescence ; the
peduncle deeply concave above and channeled in the middle,
slightly rounded at the sides, the peduncle of the same width as
the second segment, the terminal segment obtuse.

Hab. Northern India. (Coll. F. Smith.)

This species closely resembles JEnictus ambiguus, from which
it differs in being covered with dense long pale silky pubescence ;
the anterior margin of the prothorax is much more obtuse, and
is notched in the middle; the peduncle is of a different form,
for which refer to Plate II. fig. 17-

In this Catalogue the Thynnidcs are divided generically on
the differences of neuration in the anterior wings. After a careful
examination of several extensive collections of Thynnidce, that
in particular of the British Museum, we find that the palpi
differ in the number of joints in the males and females of the

HYMENOPTERA.

U

same species ; the wing-system alone, therefore, appears to form
distinctive and satisfactory divisions of this remarkable family of
Hymenoptera.

The immense variety of form observable in the apterous fe-
males of this genus renders it impossible to found any generic
divisions upon such peculiarities. The relative proportions of the
head, thorax, and abdomen vary greatly, the former being some-
times wider than the thorax, sometimes of the same width, and
frequently narrower. The thorax is oblong-quadrate, narrowed
anteriorly into a neck, or deeply strangulated in the middle, with
various intermediate gradations. The abdomen, although usually
wider than the head and thorax, is sometimes of the same width.

The very great dissimilarity existing between the winged
males and the apterous females renders it a matter of impossi-
bility to unite the sexes of a species with a certainty of correct-
ness, without a positive observation of the living insects ; but
much has been done in this respect by Robert Bakewell, Esq., for
some years resident in Australia, whose collection has been most
liberally placed at my disposal for examination, and from which
many new species have been presented to the Museum Col-
lection.

The Fabrician description of this species is not sufficiently
minute in structural details to distinguish the insect amongst
the multitude of species now brought together : —

" Statura et magnitudo Vespce vulyaris. Antenna? porrectae,
fuscae, basi piceaj. Labium fiavum, dentatum. Maxillie flava?,
apice nigra;. Thorax niger, striga antica, lobo postico scutelloque

12 HYMENOPTERA.

Male. Length 9^ lines. — Black : the mandibles, labrum,
clypeus, orbits of the eyes interrupted at their summit, and a
V-shaped mark at the base of the antennae, yellow ; the scape
yellow in front ; the flagellum ferruginous, slightly fuscous above;
the tips of the mandibles black ; the anterior margin of the cly-
peus rounded, and a short stout tooth at its lateral angles. The
anterior and posterior margins of the prothorax yellow ; the
scutellum and metathorax yellow, the former fuscous at its base ;
the wings hyaline, with their extreme base brown ; the legs fer-
ruginous, the tarsi fuscous. Abdomen : the truncation of the
base and half the superior surface of the first segment yellow ;
two large ovate spots on the second segment, two smaller ones
on the third, and two minute oblique ones on the fourth seg-
ment, yellow ; the sixth segment with a tooth at its lateral basal
margins ; the seventh deeply emarginate above, the lower ven-
tral plate terminating in an acute spine, which has a short tooth
on each side at its base, and another longer tooth on the lateral
margins.

This species is apparently unique in the Banksian Collection.

eyes, interrupted at their summit, the mandibles, clypeus, and
scape of the antennae in front, yellow. Thorax : the anterior
and posterior margins of the prothorax, the tegulae, a spot
beneath the wings, an escutcheon-shaped spot on the scutellum
and post-scutellum, yellow; the wings fulvo-hyaline ; the legs
fulvous, with the coxae spotted with black and pale yellow.
Abdomen cylindrical, truncated at the base ; the first segment
with a large transverse macula on each side, the following seg-
ments with a double row of ovate spots on each side ; beneath,
the basal segment pinched in the middle into a sharp central
yellow carina, the second segment almost entirely yellow ; the
following segments with a large transverse macula on each side,
each macula with a crescent-shaped black mark behind ; the
apical ventral plate terminating in a narrow style, which has a
sharp spine at the apex.

Hah. Australia.

This species has a resemblance both to T. variabilis and T.
affinis; the form of the abdomen, however, is like that of T.
Shuckardi, being cylindrical and regularly tapering to its apex ;
but the narrow terminal style at once separates it from both the
allied species.

This insect, which is unique in the Banksian Collection, has a
very close general resemblance to a species of Catlioxys ; but it is
a true Thynnideous insect, belonging to the genus Rhagigaster.
Fabricius describes it as follows : — " Antennae nigrae. Caput
nigrum, fronte tomento cinereo pubescente. Thorax ater, im-
maculatus, scutello truncato, obtuso. Abdomen cylindricum,
segment! s in medio atris, margine omni villoso cinereo. Anus
integer, aculeo brevi, recurvo." The following particulars, ob-
tained by an examination of the typical specimen, may be
useful : —

Male. Length 6 lines. — Shining black : th'e face clothed with
dense, long, pale yellowish pubescence ; a transverse ridge on
the front, and a horseshoe-shaped fovea above it, in which is
placed a single ocellus ; the clypeus deeply notched in front ;
the vertex with distant yellow punctures. The prothorax with
its anterior margin raised, and covered with transverse striae ;
the mesothorax with a longitudinal ridge on each side ; the scu-
tellum highly polished and truncate behind ; the metathorax is
depressed, rugose, and truncate behind; the wings hyaline, the

ning; the antennae, mandibles, thorax, and abdomen beneath
rufo-testaceous, the legs ferruginous. The thorax black and
shining above, with a few scattered fine punctures ; the anterior
margin transverse. Abdomen obscure rufo-fuscous above, the
first segment with a few coarse punctures, the second with two
transverse grooves, the third, fourth, and fifth segments with
their apical margins punctured.

Entomologica ' (see ante p. 24).

Thynnus varipes.

Male. Length 10 lines. — Black : the head and thorax densely
clothed with cinereous pubescence, that on the disk of the latter
tinged with yellow. The clypeus and mandibles yellow, the tips
of the latter rufo-piceous ; the clypeus produced and truncate at
the apex. The tibiae and tarsi sometimes ferruginous, with the
apical joints of the tarsi fuscous ; the pubescence on the thorax
beneath and on the metathorax of a silvery brightness ; wings
hyaline, the anterior pair slightly coloured, their extreme base
fuscous, the nervures black. Abdomen conical, the base trun-
cate, the four basal segments with a transverse yellow band,
which is slightly interrupted in the middle, and more widely so
on each side ; in some examples the bands are not interrupted
in the middle, and only emarginate posteriorly at the sides ;
beneath, the abdomen is entirely black and shining.

Hab. Adelaide.

Note. — Only two specimens have been received, which exhibit
the differences described ; probably intermediate varieties occur.
