CAMERON, FOSSORES. 203 



Kilhnandjaro: Kibonoto, May. 



Eyes small, oval, the temples behind them slightly roundly dilated, clearly longer 

 than the lop of the eyes; the occiput transverse, with the sides broadly rounded. The 

 3rd antennal joint is almost as long as the following 2 united; the flagellum is obscure 

 brown below. The apical tooth of mandibles becomes gradually narrowed to a rounded 

 blunt point. 



Is not unlike M. zulu, KOHL in colouration and in the arrangement of the mark- 

 ings, but zulu has not the sides of the thorax dilated at the base. 



Mutilla zimrada, sp. nov. 



Black, the thorax above and the upper two-thirds of the pleura red; 2 broad lateral 

 spots (broader than the black central part), narrowed on the innerside, on the apex of 

 the 1st abdominal segment, and a much broader spot (the black central part one third 

 of their width) covering the sides of the 3rd dorsal and extending on to the ventral 

 side, of pale fulvous pubescence; the head and thorax sparsely covered with short black 

 stiff hair, the cheeks, lower part of pleura? and apical slope of metanotum with longish 

 white hair; the basal slope of abdomen, the sides of the pygidium and the ventral seg- 

 ments covered with longer white hair. Head clearly narrower than the thorax, which 

 is twice longer than wide, the base and apex transverse, with the sides rounded ; its 

 upper edge irregularly crenulated; before the middle is a distinct, stout conical tooth, the 

 part immediately behind this is straight, then it becomes obliquely narrowed; the upper 

 part of the thorax is stoutly, irregularly longitudinally rugosely reticulated-striated, the 

 top of the apical slope stoutly striated, the rest covered (but not closely) with longish 

 punctures, which become smaller below. Pleura? smooth, the apex of the pro- and meta- 

 pleurae, and the raised central part of the mesopleuree sparsely punctured. Ventral keel 

 with a stout rounded tooth, at base and a small one at the apex. $. 



Length 17 mm. 



Kilimanjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated region. 



Front and vertex coarsely rugosely punctured, more or less reticulated; the temples 

 coarsely widely reticulated. Mandibles ending in a longish, bluntly rounded at the apex, 

 tooth. Temples straight, a little longer than the eyes; the occiput transverse. Basal seg- 

 ment of abdomen broad, curved and projecting laterally at the base. Pygidium finely, 

 closely punctured. Antennal scape sparsely covered with white hair; the flagellum thick, 

 its 2nd joint one fourth longer than the 3rd. The tibial spines long, slender, black, as 

 are also the calcaria. 



Allied to M. pytliia, SM. 



Mutilla amarua, sp. nov. 



Black, the pro- mesonotum and basal half of metanotum, and the upper part of 

 the pleime red, a broad band of pale fulvous pubescence on the sides of the 1st ab- 

 dominal segment (the black central part one fourth of the width of the spots), and
