(1867), 350, 14. Colombo, Pundaloya (Green coll.). I have followed de Saussure in uniting the species with fulvous pubescence on the head and thorax (aureicollis, Lepel.) with the species having cinereous-white pubescence on the same parts. Smith, however, kept them distinct, and I am inclined to think he was right, as the puncturing on the head and thorax in the two species is different. On the other hand, Elis fimbriata, Burmeister, kept distinct by de Saussure, seems to me only a large form of E. thoracica (vera). The specimens in Mr. Green's collection are midway between typical thoracica and typical fimbriata. 185. ELIS IRIS (Lepeletier). Colpa iris, Lepel. Hym. iii. 547, 16 8 • Scolia iris, Burm. Cat.

Three males of a species belonging to the subgenus Bielis,^ in Mr. Green's collection, agree fairly well with the original description of this species by Lepeletier de St.-Fargeau. 186.
