longer than wide and of equal width ; antenna 5 , except the scape below, the tibiae and 

 tarsi and the mandibular teeth black. Wings almost hyaline, the costal cellule distinctly 

 fulvous; the 2nd abscissa of radius not quite one third of the length of the 3rd and 

 not quite so long as the space bounded by the 2nd recurrent and 2nd transverse cub- 

 ital nervures, and equal to the space between the 1st and 2nd. The 3rd antennal joint 

 is as long as the following 2 united; the 4-th is a little longer than the 5th, which is 

 a little longer than the 6th. Clypeus sparsely punctured, longer than wide; the apex 

 becomes gradually narrowed into a tooth in the middle. Front and vertex thickly cove- 

 red with short black hair. Abdominal petiole nearly as long as the head and thorax 

 united; it becomes gradually, slightly widened towards the apex; the narrowed basal 

 part of the 2nd segment is slightly, broadly, roundly narrowed, i. e. slightly widened at 

 the base and apex; the rest becomes gradually widened, its length being more than its 

 width at the apex. $, length 34- mm. 



Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, 1000 1200 m. April. 



Belonogaster erythrospilus sp. nov. 



Black, densely covered with a whitish or greyish pruinose pile; the greater part 

 of the head and antenna?, the lower part and apex of the prothorax, sternum, scutellum, 

 the 1st abdominal segment, the 2nd except at the apex, the fore legs and the middle 

 coxa?, trochanters and femora ferruginous red; wings fulvous hyaline, more distinctly and 

 deeply so along the fore margin, the apex tinged with fuscous violaceous, the nervures 

 fulvous, the 2nd cubital cellule much narrowed in front, the 2nd abscissa of the radius 

 being about one sixth of the length of the 3rd. Clypeus sparsely punctured, the apex 

 gradually narrowed to a moderately sharp point ; the centre of the apical part somewhat 

 stoutly keeled down the middle; the clypeus is smooth, except for some scattered, not 

 very strong, punctures. Malar space as long as the 4th antennal joint; the 3rd antennal 

 joint as long as the following 2 united; the 4-th a little longer than the 5th; the apical 

 2 are almost equal in length; the 4th joint is about one quarter longer than thick. 

 Abdominal petiole almost as long as the following segments united, slender, slightly, gra- 

 dually widened towards the apex; the narrowed basal part of the 2nd segment is about 

 one fourth of the total length, the rest becomes gradually widened towards the apex, 

 which is shorter than the dilated triangular part. Legs (including the hinder) slender. $ 



The a 71 has the inner eye orbits from the incision broadly pale yellow; there is 

 a yellow spot between and above the antennae, the mandibles, except the teeth, the fore 

 coxae, underside of the middle and of the middle femora are pale yellow. The last 

 joint of the antenna? is a little longer than the penultimate, which is somewhat thicker 

 than it towards the apex, its base being narrowed; the preceding joint is a little shorter 

 and thicker than the penultimate being roundly, broadly dilated below. Clypeus clearly 

 longer than wide; its apex becomes gradually obliquely narrowed to a moderately sharp 

 point. Malar space as long as the 4th antennal joint. The apical 4 joints of the an-
