broad white transverse line, rounded at the hase, on the apex of the 2nd ahdominal 

 segment; legs coloured like the thorax; head and thorax covered with a short fuscous 

 pubescence; wings uniformly fuscous violaceous, the nervures black; tegula? coloured 

 like the thorax. Clypeus pyriform, longer than wide, the apex transverse. On the ver- 

 tex, immediately behind the ocelli, is a transverse depression or fovea, rounded behind, 

 almost transverse in front. Apex of post-scutellum with a rather steep slope, rounded 

 below, the lower part rounded. Sides of metanotum broadly rounded, the middle with 

 2 or 3 indistinct tubercles. First abdominal segment large, cup-shaped ; the 2nd a little 

 longer than it is wide at the apex; below it is slightly depressed, the sides of the de- 

 pression rounded. $ 



Total length 25 mm. 



Usambara : Mombo, June. 



The puncturation on the head and thorax is close and somewhat strong; on the 

 abdomen it is sparser and weaker. The base of the pronotum is transverse, with the 

 sides rounded. The middle of the metanotum is closely, transversely striated. 



The (f is similarly coloured, except that there is only a small yellowish line on 

 either side of the middle of the 2nd abdominal segment, that the 3rd and 4th are entirely 

 yellow, and that there is a curved broad line on the 5th; the apical fourth of the cly- 

 peus is keeled laterally, the apex itself being transverse ; the ocellar region is black, and 

 the vertex wants the fovea found in the $. The antennal hook is about 4 times longer 



than thick. 



Odynerus Meyeri sp. nov. 



Black, the head, except for a large mark covering the ocelli, extending shortly 

 behind them, where it is narrowed and rounded, and extending halfway down the front, 

 becoming gradually widened towards the base, which is transverse, the prothorax, the 

 sides and apex of scutellum narrowly, the basal two-thirds of the mesopleurae above, the 

 mark not reaching the middle below, tegulrc, post-scutellum, metathorax and the greater 

 part of the basal ventral segment of the abdomen, brick-red, as are also the legs; these 

 have the hinder tibiae darker behind; the base of wings hyaline, the middle yellowish 

 hyaline, the rest fuscous violaceous; the 6 or 7 basal joints of the antenna? reddish, 

 the rest black. Clypeus pyriform, as broad as it is long, the apex depressed. Base of 

 thorax broadly rounded above; the melanotum very short, almost transverse, the sides 

 with 4 teeth which become successively thinner and shorter from the top to the bottom ; 

 the centre has a steep slope. First abdominal segment cup-shaped; the 2nd as wide as 

 its apex, a little wider than long. Mandibles red, the teeth and apex black. $. 



Total length 16 mm.

Front, vertex, pro- and mesonotum closely, distinctly, but not very strongly punc- 

 tured; the metanotum laterally more coarsely punctured; the post-scutellum transversely 

 crenulated above; the depressed basal part of the propleurpe smooth, the apical punc- 

 tured round the edges; the mesopleurae closely reticulated, the metapleime closely, some-
