256 SJOSTEDTS KILIMANDJAEO-MERU EXPEDITION. 8: 7. 



Schizagenia, gen. nov. 



Clypeus deeply and widely incised from the apex of the basal third, the incision 

 becoming gradually wider towards the apex; the labrum is below the incision, filling it, 

 and projecting slightly beyond it; the apex of labrum slightly, broadly incised; the pen- 

 ultimate ventral segment broadly, but not deeply incised, the sides of the incision form- 

 ing distinct teeth; the apex of the last ventral is also broadly incised, and is thickly 

 covered with long hair. Hind femora dilated at the base. Wings as in Agenia; the 

 transverse median received shortly beyond the transverse basal; the accessory in hind 

 wings shortly behind the cubitus. The mandibles become gradually narrowed towards 

 the apex. 



I only know the a 71 of this genus, but its affinities appear to be with Agenia or 

 Pseudagenia, rather than with Pompilus and its allies, so far as one can judge from 

 the o 71 - The metanotum is longer than usual. The tarsi are minutely spinose, the claws 

 have a basal tooth, and there are a few minute spines on the hind tibiae. 



Schizageuia carinigena, sp. uov. 



Black, the antenna?, head, mandibles, palpi, pro- mesonotum and scutellum, the 

 base and apex of propleurae, the tubercles, tegula? and legs, rufo-ferrugineous; there are 

 2 broad oblique lines below the ocelli, which are also enclosed in the black line; the 

 base of the fore coxee, the middle above and the posterior entirely black; the apical 

 2 joints of hind tarsi black; wings fuscous violaceous, the nervures black; the 2nd and 

 3rd abscissae of radius equal in length; the 1st recurrent nervure received distinctly 

 beyond the middle, the 2nd in the middle of the cellule, o 71 . - Length 12 mm. 



Eilimandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone. May. 



Eyes distinctly converging above, separated there by the length of the 3rd antennal 

 joint. Ocelli in a triangle, the hinder separated from each other by half the distance 

 they are from the eyes. Cheeks stoutly keeled, the keel projecting more behind than in 

 front, black. 3rd antennal joint longer than the 4th. Metanotum finely, closely trans- 

 versely striated; there is a shallow furrow down the centre; it becomes wider towards 

 the apex. The long spur of the hind tibia? is one fourth of the length of metatarsus. 

 The 5th, 6th and 7th abdominal segments are rufo-testaceous ; the last is thickly covered 

 with long blackish hair. 



Pseudagenia, KOHL. 

 The species of the above genus in the collection may be separated thus: 



1 (2) Wings clear hyaline, unspotted, the transverse median nervure not interstitial. 



xantliospila. 



2 (I) Wings hyaline, spotted, the body for the greater part or entirely black ; transverse median nervure 



interstitial. 



3 (4) Clypeus with a distinct tooth. ^ odontocephala. 

 4- (3) Clypeus untoothed.
