CAMERON, FOSSOEE8. 251 



transverse. Mandibles broadly red near the apex. Pronotum a little longer than meso- 

 notum. Metanotum transverse at the apex, the sides narrowly rounded; the apical slope 

 steep. . Length 7 in in. 



Kilt IIKI ml j<ir<>: Kibonoto, cultivated /one, 1300 1900 in. 



The 3rd anlennal joint is shortly, but distinctly longer than the 4th. The long 

 spur of the bind libia 1 extends shortly beyond the middle of the metatarsus. Claws 



simple. 



Fompilus Yiigvei, sp. nov. 



Black, mandibles broadly rufous at the base; wings fuscous violaceous, the nerv- 

 ures black, the 2nd abscissa of radius very slightly longer than the 3rd, the apical 

 roundly curved, hardly projecting beyond the 3rd transverse cubital; the transverse median 

 nervure received distinctly beyond the transverse basal; the 1st recurrent nervure received 

 shortly before, the 2nd shortly beyond the middle; accessory nervure in hind wings 

 received shortly before the cubitus. $. 



Length 1 1 mm. 



Jlf.TH rainforest, 3000 3500 m. January. 



Hind ocelli separated from each other by half the distance they are from the eyes; 

 the ocelli form a triangle. Temples broad, roundly narrowed, three fourths of the length 

 of the top of the eyes; the head is a little wider than the thorax. Pronotum in the 

 middle as long as the mesonotum, which has a narrow, but distinct furrow on the sides. 

 Metanotum finely transversely striated, the stria? weak at the base, stronger towards the 

 apex, the sides at the apex broadly rounded. Pygidium covered with rufous golden 

 pubescence. Long spur of hind tibia 1 about one fourth of the length of metatarsus. 



Pompilus successor, sp. nov. 



Black, the wings fuscous violaceous, the nervures black; the apical abscissa of 

 radius roundly curved, projecting beyond the posterior part of the 3rd transverse cubital 

 nervure; the 2nd abscissa of radius slightly, but distinctly longer than the 3rd, the 1st 

 recurrent nervure is received close to the base of the apical fourth of the cellule, the 

 2nd shortly beyond the middle; the transverse median nervure is received shortly beyond 

 the transverse basal; the accessory in hind wings shortly before the middle. Hinder ocelli 

 separated from the eyes by almost double the distance they are from each other. The 

 temples are roundly narrowed, about one third of the length of the top of the eyes. 

 The long spur of the hind tibia* extends shortly beyond the middle of the metatarsus, 

 the claws simple. $. 



With its violaceous wings and being of the same size and colouration this species 

 looks very like P. masaiensis, which, however, is readily separated from it by the 

 appendiculated 2nd cubital cellule. P. Yngvei is larger, has the cubital cellules larger, 

 and, more particularly, the radius does not extend beyond the cubital cellules, as it does 

 distinctly in the present species; the metanotum, too, in Ynyrei is clearly transversely 

 striated. - - Length 9 mm.
