254 SJOSTEDTS KIL1MANDJARO-MEEU EXPEDITION. 8: 7. 



cubital nervures being more widely separated in some specimens than in others. The 3rd 

 antennal joint is distinctly longer than the -4th. 

 Is allied to the European P. fttscus. 



Pompilus (Eutypus) trigonophatnus, sp. nov. 



Black, the basal abdominal segment except on the basal slope and the 2nd entirely 

 red; the wings almost hyaline, the radial cellule and the rest from the 3rd transverse 

 cubital and 2nd recurrent nervures blackish, tinged with violaceous; the transverse median 

 nervure interstitial; the 1st recurrent nervure in hind wings interstitial. Eyes converging 

 on top; the hinder ocelli separated from each other by about the same distance as they 

 are from the eyes. Temples short, roundly narrowed. Prothorax not quite so long as 

 the mesonotum, roundly narrowed in front. Metanotum not quite so long as the meso- 

 notum, roundly sloped behind. The long spur of the hind tibia 1 extends shortly beyond 

 the middle of the metatarsus; claws with a stout basal tooth. Tibial and tarsal 

 spines stout. 



The form of the 2nd cubital cellule varies, the 1st recurrent nervure received close to 

 the apex; the 2nd close to the base of the apical third of the cellule; the accessory nervure in 

 hind wings is received shortly before the cubitus. Eyes with a distinct curve above the middle 

 on the innerside. . Hinder ocelli separated from each other by a little less distance than 

 they are from the eyes. 3rd antennal joint distinctly longer than the 4th. Temples 

 short, rounded, the occiput transverse. Base of mesonotum broadly rounded, not angled. 

 O 71 . - - Length 7 mm.

The 2nd and 3rd transverse cubital nervures meet in front, and in some examples 

 probably the cellule is appendiculatecl ; in the present specimen it is triangular; the 3rd 

 transverse cubital nervure is more obliquely sloped than the 2nd. The long spur of the 

 hind tibiae is fully three-fourths of the length of the metatarsus. 



D. Rufous, Ixnulrd with i/cUoir, the it'inys tinged icifh red Episyron. 

 Pompilus (Episyron) Sjostedti, sp nov. 



Dark rufous, a curved yellow line on the apex of the pronotum and a narrow 

 irregular one on the base of the 2nd and 3rd abdominal segments; middle of pronotum, 

 the upper part of the meso- and metapleurse and more or less of the basal 2 abdominal 

 segments, black; wings hyaline, the anterior distinctly tinged with yellow, the apex smoky 

 from the end of the radius and 3rd transverse cubital nervure and more narrowly 

 posteriorly, smoky, the stigma testaceous, the nervures black; the 2nd abscissa of radius 

 about one fourth longer than the 3rd, both the recurrent nervures are received shortly 

 beyond the middle, the front half of 1st tranverse cubital nervure, straight, obliquely 

 sloping towards the 2nd; the transverse median nervure interstitial; accessory nervure in 

 hind wings received beyond the cubitus. $.
