Tibial spines long, black, thin; calcaria white. The 2nd ventral segment is shin- 

 ing, sparsely, but distinctly punctured. Head closely rugosely punctured; the temples 

 distinctly roundly narrowed, not much longer than the top of the eyes, which are 

 longish oval. 



Mutilla leucospila, sp. uov. 



Black, the thorax above red, the red colour extending on to the top of the pro- 

 pleura 1 , and, more widely, on to the metapleurae ; head a little wider than the thorax, 

 which is rounded at the base and more bluntly at the apex; the apical half of the 

 thorax is roundly widened; the part before the middle is slightly narrowed; the back is 

 coarsely reticulated, the reticulations becoming widened towards the apex. Ventral keel 

 on apical half with a bluntly rounded tooth, followed by a longer one which is straight 

 below, and from which it is clearly separated. On the base of the 2nd abdominal seg- 

 ment are 2 round spots of silvery pile, the 2nd is covered with silvery pubescence ex- 

 cept in the middle; the pygidium laterally and the ventral segments are fringed with 

 long silvery hair; the head is covered with fuscous, the top of the thorax and of the 

 abdomen with black hair. Legs covered with white hair; the tibial spines are longish 

 and black, the calcaria white. $. 



Length 12 mm. 



Meru low lands, 25th November. 



Thorax somewhat more than twice longer than wide; the sides at the base rough, 

 and with a short, conical tooth at the end of the rounded part; the upper part of the 

 sides of the metanotum has 3 distinct, longer than wide, teeth. The 3rd antennal joint 

 is as long as the following 2 united. Apical tooth of mandibles long. First abdominal 

 segment small, cup-shaped; the second is narrowed towards the apex. Pygidium, except 

 at the apex, closely, finely longitudinally striated. 



Mutilla grantella, sp. nov. 



Black, the thorax red, its base bluntly rounded, the apex transverse, the sides 

 slightly contracted, the back strongly longitudinally striated, the stria? more or less 

 twisted; on the top of the apical slope they form reticulations; the apex and pleurae 

 smooth; the top of the apical slope laterally armed with 4 stout teeth. Vertex longitu- 

 dinally striated, the stria 3 running more or less into each other; the front is less strongly 

 reticulated. Temples longer than the eyes, straight, not narrowed, the occiput trans- 

 verse. Thorax twice longer than wide, of the same width as the head. Basal abdo- 

 minal segment with an oblique, straight slope on the base, where it is half the width 

 of the apex; the 2nd is somewhat strongly longitudinally striated, the stride intertwining; 

 its apex depressed ; the pygidium closely, distinctly punctured, covered with long pale 

 fulvous hair. Basal ventral segment roundly projecting near the base; the 2nd has a 

 straight oblique slope from beyond the middle to the base; it is there weakly punctured;
