CAMERON, FOSSOKEB. 259 



antennal joint is not much longer than the 4th, the 5th distinctly shorter. Prothorax 

 large. The middle femora have the apical half dark rufous below, their tibia? are broadly 

 white in the middle behind. 



A long, slender species, with the thorax longer than usual. 



Pseudagenia bnmiiiceps, R. LUCAS. 



Die Hymen. Ost-Afrikas, Pompilida?, p. 60. 



Kilinianfljuro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 1300 1900 m. May. 



Recorded by LUCAS from Sanxibar, Taita and Delagoa Bay. The amount of rufous 

 colouration on the head on thorax varies; the fore tibia 1 and tarsi vary in colouration 

 from blackish to rufous. 



Pseudagenia canaliculata, sp. nov. 



Black, the head, antenna 3 and legs, except the coxa? and trochanters, red, the pro- 

 notum of a darker red, suffused with black, the front above with a large black mark, 

 widened below; the face, clypeus, mandibles and palpi of a brighter red .than the front 

 and vertex; wings fuscous violaceous, the nervures and stigma black; the 2nd abscissa 

 of radius slightly, but distinctly longer than the 3rd, which is as long as the 1st trans- 

 verse cubital nervure; the 1st recurrent nervure is received close to the base of the 

 apical third of the cellule, the 2nd at a slightly greater distance from the base of the 

 3rd cellule; the metanotum with a rounded, somewhat steep slope and with a shallow, 

 but distinct furrow down the middle. Eyes converging above ; the hinder ocelli separated 

 from each other by half the distance they are from the eyes. Clypeus with a distinct, 

 depressed apical border, which is widest in the middle. The 3rd antennal joint twice 

 the length of the scape and a little shorter than the following 2 joints united. Hind 

 tarsi long, closely spinose, the basal 2 joints united as long as the tibia 3 , the claws long, 

 stout and with a triangular tooth near the middle. $. - Length 14 mm. 



Nilim/nxljaro: Kibonoto, 1000 1300 m. September. 



Temples broad, roundly narrowed. Pronotum broadly rounded laterally, the centre 

 with an indistinct, shallow furrow. Head as wide as the thorax. 



This species is closely allied to P. longitarsis CAM. from Cape Colony; that species 

 may be known from it by the mesonotum and scutellum being dark rufous, by the stouter 

 antenna?, by the metanotum being more strongly and distinctly transversely striated and 

 without a longitudinal furrow, it being also flatter, and by the 2nd recurrent nervure 

 being received in the middle of the cellule, not clearly behind the middle. 



Pediuaspis ruficaiulis, sp. nov. 



Black, the 3rd and following segments of the abdomen red, the apex of clypeus 

 broadly, the fore tibia 1 and the antenna 3 more or less of a darker red, the spurs white; 

 mandibles of a brighter red, black on the innerside; spurs white, the apical 4 tarsal 

 joints dark red; wings dark fuscous, the nervures black; the transverse median nervure
