pronotum seen from above: Fig. 18, seen in front: Fig. 19, and seen from the side: Fig. 20; tubercle in posterior view: Fig. 21 (character of the posterior margin of mesonotum unobservable), scutellum medially longitudinally distinctly impressed, the form and sculpture of propodeum : Fig. 22, abdomen normal, but pygidial area not as usually marginated by a weak uniform carina on each side, but the lateral margin comparatively broadly raised and narrowed and lowered towards base and apex (Fig. 23), the surface of the area flattened. Legs generally normal, but middle and hind tibiae strongly spined on the outer margin, wing venation as in minutus. Vertex and frons feebly, delicately microcoriaceous and scattered with fine punctures, intervals on vertex 2—4 times and on frons 1-2 times as large as the points, the surface fairly shining, clypeus at base with sparse delicate micropoints, each carrying a pile, mesonotum microsculptured and punctured as on frons, but the punctures anteriorly slightly finer and closer and posteriorly larger and much sparser, scutellum smooth and polished, mesopleuron coarsely irregularly rugoso-reticulate, posteriorly somewhat more closely, longitudinally rugoso-striate, the sculpture weaker downwards and on mesosternum almost smooth, only with sparse fine scattered punctures, propodeum (Fig. 22) without the marked transverse carina at the posterior margin of the dorsal side, posterior wall finely, weakly, irregularly but mainly transversely rugulose, with a few somewhat strong rugae mixed, not coarsely sculptured as in minutus, sides of the segment obliquely, somewhat strongly, moderately closely striate ; tergites finely, fairly closely punctured, on tergite 1 punctures, sparser, with the surface more shining, pygidial area with very weak microsculpture, on the apical area almost smooth, with somewhat large punctures sparsely scattered, sternites 2 and 3 with punctures slightly larger than on tergites, on 2 slightly sparser, with microsculpture between, the remaining sternites punctured as on tergites. cf unkown. Holotype: 9, Prov. Ryang-gang, Hyesan, Hotel garden, 23. VIH. 1971 (No. 193). 36. Gerceris hortivaga KOHL, 1880 Cerceris hortivaga: RADOSZKOVSKY, 1890, p. 31. (Korea) ;SICKMANN, 1895, p. 204 (N. China); TSUNEKI, 1961, p. 28, 36, 46 (Japan, Korea, N. China). Gerceris harmandi PEREZ, and Japanese authors. Specimens examined : 8 9 1 o*> Prov. South Pyongan, Pyongyan, Hotel garden, 5-31. VIII. 2. IX. 1971 (Nos. 144, 150, 177, 190, 225, 230.). Distribution: Europe, N. China, Korea and Japan. Remarks. — As given in my paper on East Asiatic Cerceris (1961) in the specimens of this species from Korea the 2nd tergite has usually a yellow mark at the base in the middle and the band on the 3rd tergite is broadly emarginate at the anterior margin. 37. Gerceris ryhyensis (LINNÉ, 1758) Specimens examined: 1 çf, Prov. South Pyongan, Mang-yong-dae, 5. VIII. 1971 (No. 139); 1 9, Prov. do., Chang-lyong san, 50 km N. of Pyongyan, 13. VIII. 1971 (No. 168); 1 9 4 r f f Prov. do., Bongwa-ri, 45 km E from Pyongyan, 16. VIII. 1971 (No. 178). Distribution : Widely distributed over the Palaearctic Region and in the high altitudes of the Oriental Region, but this is the first definite record of the typical race of the species from East Asia.
