Spliex (Isodontia) ineruensis, sp. nov. 



Black, the head and thorax densely covered with long cinereous pubescence, the 

 abdomen pruinose; the legs sparsely covered with white hair; the antennal scape entirely, 

 the 6 following joints except above, the mandibles except the teeth, prothorax, tegulae, 

 upper half of mesopleurae, scutellums, 1st abdominal segment except above, the greater 

 part of the 2nd, a broad band near the base of the 3rd and the legs, except the hinder 

 femora above, rufous; wings fulvo-hyaline, the radial and cubital cellules smoky, the 

 costa, stigma and the nervures except in the smoky parts fulvous; the 2nd abscissa of 

 radius more than double the length of the 3rd, which is a little longer than the 1st; the 

 1st recurrent nervure is received close to the apex, the 2nd near the apex of the basal 

 fourth of the cellule. The 3rd joint of the antennae is almost as long as the following 

 2 united. The eyes converge slightly, but distinctly above; the hinder ocelli are separated 

 from each other by the same distance as they are from the eyes. ?. - - Length 24 mm. 



Meru low lands. October. 



Claws bidentate, the tarsi thickly and stoutly spinose; tibial spines short and sparse.

Ainniophila massaica, sp. nov.

 blue, the 4 front legs except the femora above, the middle of the hinder femora on the 

 outerside and the hind tibiae, except below, red; the calcaria testaceous; the wings hyaline, 

 the nervures black ; the tegulae rufo-testaceous ; the basal 2 abscissas of radius equal in 

 length, the 3rd a little longer than them; the 1st recurrent nervure is received near the 

 basal third of the cellule, the 2nd about the same distance from the apex ; the 3rd trans- 

 verse cubital nervure is elbowed below the middle, the upper and lower parts being 

 straight and oblique. Pro- and mesonotum transversely striated, the former not so closely 

 as the latter, which has a furrow extending from the base to near the centre. Scutellum 

 stoutly longitudinally striated, the central stria weaker than the others; post-scutellum 

 smooth in the centre, the sides with 3 or 4 longitudinal stria 3 . Metanotum transversely 

 reticulated, the basal half more strongly than the apical. Mesopleurse weakly, the meta- 

 pleura? more strongly punctured; the pleurae densely covered with short, white pubescence.
