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.
Hab. Mexico (Orizaba).
Sect. 2. — Peduncle of the abdomen more or less convex, transverse-quadrate.

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.

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.

Male. Length 8| lines. — Closely allied to T. variabilis, but apparently a very distinct species. Black : the orbits of the 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.
