CAMKKON, VESI'IDAK. 185 



\vliat strongly, obliquely striated. Abdomen covered with a white blume. Tarsal joints 

 closely spinose. 



The c/ 1 is coloured like the $, the clypeus not being yellow as in most male O<l/j- 

 )!/>/; the rye incision is tinged with yellow; the clypeus is longer compared with the 

 width, and its apex has a small triangular incision. Antennal hook moderately stout, 

 of equal width, its apex reaching to the middle of the llth joint; only the apical joints 

 are blackish above. 



This fine species is dedicated to Dr. HANS MEYER, the well known German Explorer 

 of Massai Land and Kilimandjaro. 



Odynerns rotundiscutis sp. nov. 



Dark rufous, the upper part of the front, the vertex, mesonotum, the scutellum, 

 except at the apex, and the basal half of post-scutellum darker coloured, the pleural 

 sutures, a line on the 1st abdominal segment, dilated in the middle, the base and apex 

 of the 2nd segment and a line down the centre, black ; a line of equal width on the 

 apex of the 1st abdominal, a wider one on the apex of the 2nd, dilated in the middle 

 and laterally; and below continued to near the base of the segment, it becoming gradu- 

 ally narrowed from the apex to the base; the 3rd and 4th entirely above and below 

 and the 2nd ventral narrowly at the apex and broadly on the sides, pale orange yellow; 

 wings hyaline, the radial cellule for the greater part smoky violaceous, the stigma pale 

 testaceous, the costa and stigma black. Antennae black, the scape and the basal 2 or 

 3 joints of the flagellum red. The head densely covered with whitish pubescence, the 

 pubescence on the metathorax longer and of a clearer white colour, that on the meso- 

 notum shorter and darker. Base of thorax transverse, the apex of scutellum bluntly 

 rounded, the apex of the post-scutellum more distinctly rounded above; the lower part 

 becomes narrowed to a blunt point. Clypeus pyriform, as long as it is broad, the apex 

 transverse. The puncturation on the head and thorax is strong, on the metanotum it 

 is stronger, closer and the punctures run into reticulations; on the mesopleune the 

 punctures are distinct, round and clearly separated. The amount of the black colour 

 varies. $.

The a 71 nas the clypeus, the greater part of the mandibles, a large mark on the 

 front between and above the antenrue, it becoming gradually widened from the part 

 between the antennae to the top, which is transverse, there is a yellow line round the 

 top of the prothorax, dilated at its junction with the transverse basal part, a spot on 

 the mesopleune at the teguke, the underside of the antennal scape and the post-scutel- 

 lum are bright lemon-yellow. The basal 3 or 4 joints of the antennae are rufous; the 

 hook is dark rufous, moderately stout, and its apex reaches to the middle of the llth 

 joint. Clypeus pyriform, as wide as long, the apex with a small rounded incision.
