Venation of wings of the usual Eumenes type. First abdominal segment quite long and slender, but little shorter than head and thorax, about five times as long as its greatest width seen from above ; in profile distinctly but quite gently curved, slightly and quite gradually swollen toward the apical half; seen from above the tergite widens very gradually from the base to just before the middle, where the spiracles are slightly pro- tuberant ; thence the increase is quite slow to the apex, which is the widest part of the tergite ; dorsally the segment is not appreciably flattened, but its apical half bears a longitudinal, shallow groove, which becomes more distinct posteriorly. Second segment quite. I 7 C Fig. 5.—Eumenes oculihirtus, J. Bequaert. A, female in profile ; B, first tergite of female from above ; C, terminal segments of male antenna. large, bell-shaped, conspicuously more swollen dorsally than ventrally, but not in the least compressed ; but slightly longer than high in profile ; basal neck short, but distinct ; apex or sternite and tergite duplicate ; the terminal lamella quite thin, translucent, flat, separated from the preapical swelling by a minutely foveolate, deep furrow ; second sternite flat at base. Head and thorax dull, rather sparsely covered with scattered punctures of medium size ; they are somewhat coarser on scutellum, postscutellum, and posterior part of propodeum ; clypeus impunctate, dull. First abdominal tergite with very few, minute punctures, almost impunctate ; second tergite fairly uniformly covered with moderately dense punctures, similar to those of the mesonotum ; they are quite sparse and minute on the second sternite ; the remainder of the abdomen impunctate. Pubescence quite lo
