21 \ SJOSTEDT8 KILlMANDJAItO-MERU EXPEDITION. K: 7. 



narrow line on the apex of the 4th and a broad one, which on the sides extends to 

 near the base of the segment, yellow; the antenme, tegulfe, a narrow line on the apex 

 of the 1st abdominal segment, a wider one, dilated on the sides, more or less of the 

 sides of the following 3 segments and the whole of the last, red; the yellow on the 

 ventral segments is largely suffused with red; the red on the 2nd broad, narrowed in the 

 middle. Legs rufous, the coxa? and the femora broadly above black, the hind tarsi 

 blackish. Metanotal area smooth, irregularly punctured at the base, the central furrow 

 and the sides crenulated. Wings hyaline, the radial cellule and the 4th cubital broadly 

 at the apex smoky, the stigma and nervures black; the 1st recurrent nervure is received 

 shortly before the middle of the cellule; the 2nd distinctly beyond the 2nd - about 

 two-thirds of the length of the pedicle. 5- ~ Length 11 mm. 



RiUmandjaro: Kibonoto, 1000 1300 m. August. 



Head and thorax closely, strongly punctured and covered with short, white pubes- 

 cence. Apex of clypeus black, ending laterally in a blunt tubercle. First abdominal seg- 

 ment not much longer than wide. Pygidium distinctly roundly narrowed towards the 

 apex, where it is not half the width of the base; it is irregularly reticulated, more closely 

 at the base than elsewhere; the lateral furrows on the apical half are finely transversely 

 striated; the hypopygium on the apical three-fourths is bordered by keels, which curve out- 

 wardly at the base and are thinner there; the space between them at the apex is hollowed. 



In a smaller example than that described above the face is black in the centre, 

 and this black is exlended round the top of the clypeus, the mark being roundly bilobate 

 in the centre below ; the lateral prolongations are narrow. 



Cerceris massaica, sp. uov. 



Black, a large semicircular mark on the sides of the face below the antenna 1 , a 

 large curved line on the apex of the 3rd abdominal segment, laterally extending to I lie 

 base of the segment, a narrow line of equal width on the apex of the 4th; more than 

 the apical half of the 5th, and a large spot, gradually narrowed from the outer to the 

 innerside on the sides of the 3rd ventral, yellow; the antenna 1 except the apical joints 

 above, the apex of the 2nd abdominal segment narrowly, of the 4th broadly, and the 

 pygidium, red; the legs black, the 4 anterior except at the base, the hind trochanters, 

 the underside of the hind femora and the tibia 3 behind, red. Wings hyaline, the radial 

 cellule and the apical cubital violaceous, the nervures black; the 1st recurrent nervure 

 is received close to the base of the cellule, almost interstitial. Metanotal area smooth, 

 the centre with a row of round fovete, the sides with oblique, longer fovete. a 71 . - 

 Length 8 mm. 



KiliitKiHiljaro: Kibonoto, cultivated region. 



Head strongly punctured, the face and clypeus not so closely as the front or vertex; 

 the sides of the clypeus fringed with stiff pale rufous pubescence. Pygidium and hypo- 

 pygium strongly punctured, their apex transverse. The basal abdominal segment not much 

 longer than wide.
