248 SJOSTEDTS KILIMANDJARO-MERU EXPEDITION. 8: 7. 



Pompilus eriophorus, sp. nov. 



Black, the underside of antennal scape and the last dorsal abdominal segment 

 obscure yellowish white; the sides of apical slope of metanolum with a broad thick patch 

 of whitish hair; the apex of metanotum with a steep, straight slope; the 2nd cubital cellule 

 distinctly appendiculated, it receives the recurrent nervure shortly, but distinctly beyond 

 the middle; basal abscissa of radius straight, oblique, the apical roundly curved; the 

 transverse median nervure received shortly beyond the transverse basal; the accessory 

 nervure in hind wings received before the cubitus. Hinder ocelli separated from each 

 other by a greater distance than they are from the eyes, which converge slightly above. 

 Wings obscure hyaline, iridescent, the apex clouded from the 3rd transverse cubital 

 nervure, the radial cellule being more faintly clouded. Temples very short. The long 

 spur of the hind tibia? about three fourths of the length of metatarsus. Claws bifid, the 

 basal tooth thicker and shorter than the other. Antennal joints from the 7th roundly 

 dilated. cA

Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 13001900 m. 9th May. 



This species is very close to P. monospilus, but may be known from it by the 

 2 large patches of hair on the metanotum and by the accessory nervure in hind wings 

 being received distinctly before the cubitus. 



Pompilus brimnipalpis, sp. nov. 



Black, the spurs and the outer and hinder part of the hinder tibiae at the base 

 white; the apex of clypeus, palpi and mandibles broadly at the base dark brownish red; 

 wings clear hyaline, the nervures black; the 2nd abscissa of radius more than one 

 quarter longer than the 3rd; the 1st transverse cubital -nervure broadly roundly curved; 

 the 1st recurrent nervure received beyond the middle, the 2nd in the middle of the 

 cellule; the transverse basal nervure interstitial; the accessory nervure in hind wings 

 received shortly before the cubitus. The long spur of the hind tibia? does not reach to 

 the middle of metatarsus. Eyes distinctly converging above; the hinder ocelli separated 

 from each other by about the same distance as they are from the eyes. $. 



Length 10 mm. 



Mem low lands, Ngare na nyuki. 25th November. 



Head wider than the thorax; the temples very short, the occiput transverse. Eyes 

 reaching to the base of the mandibles. Pronolum as long as the mesonotum, its base 

 finely margined above. The 3rd antennal joint is not much longer than the -ilh; the 

 scape is dark brown below. 



Pompilus erythrostomns, sp. nov. 



Black, the clypeus, labrum, mandibles, all the tarsi, apex of anterior tibia? narrowly, 

 the apex of posterior from near the middle and the 3rd and following segments of the 

 abdomen red; the spurs and palpi whitish; wings hyaline, a cloud on the transverse
