242 SJOSTEDTS KILIMANDJAROHERU EXPEDITION. 8: 7. 



towards the 2nd ; the 2nd recurrent nervure roundly curved outwardly and received in 

 the middle of the cellule. Labrum and middle of mandibles dull rufous. Eyes clearly 

 converging above; the hinder ocelli separated from each other by half the distance they 

 are from the eyes. Head, thorax, base of abdomen and ventral surface densely covered 

 with long black hair; pygidium dark rufous and somewhat thickly covered with long 

 black hair. The inner spur of the hind tibia? is about one fifth of the length of the 

 metatarsus; its basal half thicker than apical, which becomes obliquely narrowed towards 

 the apex. $. Length 25 27 mm. 



Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., December. -- Mornbo: Usambara, June. 



Temples short, obliquely rounded. Melanolum finely, not very closely transversely 

 striated, the lateral tubercles not very prominent; it is short and has a steep, rounded 

 slope. The accessory nervure is received shortly before the cubitus. 



A handsome, well-marked species. Dedicated to Mr. CHARLES 0. WATERHOUSE of 

 the British Museum in grateful remembrance of much kindness in connection with the 

 Insect Department of the British Museum. 



Salius (C yplionon j x) nioinboeiisis, sp. nov. 



Black, the legs, except the coxte, trochanlers and base of femora, rufous, the apical 

 joint of the 4 posterior tarsi black; wings uniformly dark fuscous violaceous, with, in 

 certain lights, a distinct blue and violaceous hue, the nervures black; the 2nd abscissa 

 of radius about one fourth longer than the 3rd; the 1st recurrent nervure received close 

 to the base of the apical fourth, the 2nd shortly, but distinctly before the middle; the 

 anterior half of 3rd transverse cubital nervure straight and obliquely bent towards the 

 base. 3rd antennal joint about one quarter longer than the 4th. Hind spurs short, as 

 long as the 3rd tarsal joint; the basal tooth of claws stout, reaching to the apex of 

 the other. $. - Length 25 mm. 



Usambara: Mombo. June. Mem low lands ( c f). 



Head, thorax, base of legs and of abdomen sparsely covered with long black hairs. 

 Labrum dark brown, sparsely punctured, its apex broadly rounded. Eyes distinctly con- 

 verging above. Hinder ocelli separated from the eyes by fully double the distance they 

 are from each other. Temples broadly rounded. Metanolum irregularly, weakly trans- 

 versely striated; a shallow furrow down the middle; the apex of the furrow with a keel 

 in the centre. Inner spur of hind libi;i' dilated at the base; the basal half stoutly, 

 closely pectinated, the apical pectinations shorter than the basal. Lateral basal tubercles 

 of metanotum large, rounded; the apex of metanotum below transverse, the centre 

 rounded, the sides forming large, broad teeth. 



The a 71 is smaller (18 mm.) and more slenderly built; the pronotum is more trans- 

 verse and with the outer edges slightly projecting and rounded. Beyond these differences 

 I cannot discover any to warrant me to regard the Meru example as belonging to an- 

 other species. S. momboeusis has the colouration of Mygnimiu rtrdjas and M. prodi- 

 x, but it belongs to a different section of Matins.
