Clypeus longer than wide, sparsely punctured, the apex with a shallow rounded 

 incision. Eye incision densely covered with silvery pubescence. Temples broad, rounded, 

 not much narrowed; the occiput not transverse. Base of thorax transverse; the sides 

 of pronotum broadly rounded. Sides of post-scutellum projecting into stout teeth, which 

 have a straight slope in front, rounded from the top to the bottom behind; the apex of 

 the post-scutellum is smooth and transverse. Sides of metanotum rounded, densely 

 covered with a silvery pile, closely, punctured, almost reticulated; the sides below project 

 into stout teeth. First abdominal segment short, broadly rounded behind; the 2nd is 

 as broad as it is long. The head and thorax are somewhat closely and strongly punct-

Odynerus cnemophilus sp. nov. 



Black, the clypeus, mandibles, the space between and immediately above the an- 

 tenna 1 , the outer orbits, the edges of the pronotum narrowly, a transverse line on the 

 scutellum, the sides of metanotum, the sides of the 1st abdominal segment more or less 

 broadly on its basal half, its ventral surface, the apical half or so of the femora, the 

 tibia 1 and the tarsi, dark red; as are also the antennal scape and the following two 

 joints; wings fuscous violaceous, paler in the centre, darker along the apex, the ner- 

 vures black. Clypeus clearly longer than wide; the apical part depressed, the sides of 

 the depression forming keels; the apex transverse. Apex of post-scutellum broadly 

 rounded. First abdominal segment cup-shaped; the 2nd as long as it is wide at the

Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., April. 



Front more or less reticulated. Apical slope of post-scutellum longitudinal striated

 rugosities. The sides of metanotum closely reticulated-punctured, the centre below some- 

 what stoutly transversely striated. Base of thorax transverse, the sides of metanotum

 a large triangular mark - - the narrowed end at the apex - on the top of the prono- 

 tum, not reaching to the middle of the pleura?, tegulae, apical third of scutellum, the 

 post-scutellum, except the middle of apical slope, a curved line on the apical slope of 

 metanotum, the sides of 1st abdominal segment broadly, the apex more narrowly, the 

 sides of the 2nd segment on the basal two-thirds and the apex more narrowly, rufous;
