 minal segments, the basal 4 wider than long, the 3rd pair square, the top of the head, 

 thorax and abdomen covered with longish black hair; the base of 1st abdominal segment, 

 the apices of the 2nd ventral, the following segments and the legs covered with longer 

 white hair; the basal ventral keel with a stout tooth, roundly narrowed towards the apex; 

 the 2nd with stout lateral and a central keel extending from the base to beyond the 

 middle; the segment rising obliquely from the base to the end of the keels, then falling 

 obliquely from the top of the raised part to the apex. - Thorax almost twice longer 

 than wide, of almost equal width, only slightly narrowed towards the apex; the base and 

 apex bluntly rounded. Tibial spines black, the spurs white. The 2nd joint of flagellum 

 as long as the following 2 united. Eyes small; the temples almost twice their length,

Head coarsely, longitudinally rugosely reticulated. Apical tooth of mandibles long, 

 sharply pointed. Thorax above coarsely longitudinally reticulated; on the sides, shortly 

 beyond the middle, are 2 teeth, of which the 2nd is the larger. Pleurae smooth; the 

 apex of the metapleurse covered broadly with round punctures. First abdominal segment 

 broad, cup-shaped, the base projecting laterally; the dorsal segments are neither punctured 

 nor striated ; the last has no defined area ; it is broad and rounded at the apex ; the 2nd

Mutilla Thomson!, sp. nov. 



Black, the thorax above, except at base and apex, dark red, the red extending on 

 to the pleuree; a spot of light fulvous pubescence on either side of the 1st abdominal 

 segment, a broad transverse band on the sides of the 3rd, a square one on the 4th and 

 one on the base of the 5th ; the pygidium and the apical ventral segments fringed with 

 silvery hair; basal ventral keel dilated downwards at the base, transverse below; from 

 this part it becomes roundly narrowed towards the apex; on the middle of the basal half 

 of the 2nd segment is a stout keel which becomes higher towards the apex, where it 

 almost forms a tooth; the sides on either side of this are keeled, these keels becoming 

 thicker towards II ie apex, but not so much as the central. Thorax almost twice longer 

 than wide, almost tranverse above at the base and apex; it is of equal width; there is 

 a broad tubercle in the centre above, followed by a more distinct one; the reticulations 

 almost form teeth on the sides of the metanotum at the apex. Upper part of the head, 

 thorax and abdomen sparsely covered with long black hair; the oral region densely with 

 long silvery hair, as is also the ventral surface and legs; there is a large patch of de-
