Fig. 1.—Masaris vesptfortnis, F, Type. 1793. rig. 2.—Masaris vespifortnis F„ subsp. cegyptiacus, Tjpe. 1911. The Vicomte du Buysson says that there is no difference but colour between the females he has examined from Egypt and the specimen from Morocco. He adds, however, that in Egyptian females the base of abdominal tergites 2, 3, 4 is feebly but visibly depressed, whereas in the Moorish speci- men the base of tergite 2 alone is depressed. No specimens of Egyptian females being available for examination, it has been impossible to record a personal verification of this, but in the females from Jericho, which are doubtless the females of agj/ptiacus, the base of tergite 2 alone is depressed. Masaris vespiformis, F., subsp. cegyptiacus, subsp. n. S. Niger; clypeo, facie, pronoto segmeutis abdominalibus 1-6 apice, tibiis tarsisque flavis. Segmentis abdominalibus 2-3 infra tuberculis duobus subsequalibus Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London, Taylor and Francis, Ltd
