median and transverse basal nervures, wider on (he outer than on the inner side, and 

 gradually narrowed in front, and a broader one, commencing opposite the posterior part 

 f the I si transverse cubital nervnre and extending almost to the apex of the radial 

 cellule and beyond the 3rd transverse cubital nervure; posteriorly it commences at the 

 top of the 1st recurrent nervure; the -2nd abscissa of radius is two-thirds of the length 

 of the 3rd; the 1st recurrent nervure is received at the base of the apical third, the 2nd 

 very shortly beyond the middle; the transverse median nervure is received very shortly 

 beyond the transverse basal. $. - - Length 9 mm.

Covered with a white pile. Eyes converging above; the hinder ocelli separated 

 from each other by a slightly greater distance than they are from the eyes. Temples 

 very narrow; the occiput transverse. Antennae stout, the 3rd joint slightly, but clearly 

 longer than the -ith. Pronotum a little longer than the mesonotum, roundly narrowed 

 in front. Apex of inetanolum transverse, with the sides rounded. 



Pompilus curvifrons, sp. nov. 



Black, covered with a white pile; wings light fuscous violaceous, the radial cellule 

 and the apex from the end of the latter darker coloured, the nervures black, the 2nd 

 abscissa of radius almost 4 times longer than the 3rd; both the recurrent nervures are 

 received shortly beyond the middle, the 1st a greater distance than the 2nd, which is 

 roundly curved outwardly; the transverse median nervure received shortly beyond the 

 transverse basal; the accessory nervure in hind wings received considerably in front of 

 cubitus. Hinder ocelli separated from each other by double the distance they are from 

 the eyes. Front below on the sides depressed, the depression roundly curved, so that 

 the raised central part is narrow below, becoming roundly widened above. $. ' 

 Length 11 mm. 



KUimandjaro : Kibonolo, cultivated zone, 1300 1900 m. 9th November. 



Antennae stout, the 3rd joint about as long as the 4th. Head broadly rounded in 

 front, transverse behind, the temples very narrow. There is a small, but distinct malar 

 space. The head is slightly longer than the thorax. Pronotum a little longer than the 

 mesonotum and very slightly longer than the rnetanotum, which has the apex transverse, 

 with the sides narrowly rounded; there is a narrow furrow down its centre; and there 

 is a more clearly defined, narrow furrow on either side of the mesonotum. Claws with 

 a large process at the base; tibial and tarsal spines long, black; the long spur of hind 

 tibia? half the' length of metatarsus. 



Pompilus lueruensis, sp. nov. 



Black, the legs, except the anterior, the basal half of the intermediate and the 

 posterior coxre to near the apex, red, the basal 6 joints of the antenna 1 of a darker red, 

 the apical black; the apex of the clypeus narrowly and the mandibles, except at the 

 apex, red; wings hyaline, a curved cloud on the apex of the fore wings, commencing
