This beautiful golden-marked, cricket-hunting wasp was not previously recorded in Guam, but F. X. Williams gives an account of observations on its habits in the Philippines. The half dozen specimens which I obtained in Guam were mostly in the vicinity of buildings. Several times I saw a female hunting among boxes at the back of our residence where a common cricket ( Gryllodes sigillatus ) was abundant. One was captured on a cement walk; another flew into the automobile. The Guam specimens were identified by F. X. Williams.
