260 SJOSTEDTS KILIMANDJARO-MEEU EXPEDITION. 8: 7. 



interstitial or almost so; the 2nd and 3rd abscissas of the radius are almost equal in 

 length; the 1st recurrent nervure is received shortly before, the 2nd a less distance 

 beyond the middle of the cellule; the 1st transverse cubital nervure roundly curved; the 

 radius forms a round curve. Ocelli in a curve, the hinder separated from each other 

 by a slightly greater distance than they are from the eyes. Tibial and tarsal spines black, 

 they are short on the anterior, longer on the posterior legs; the long hinder spur reaches 

 close to the apex of the metatarsus. Thorax, abdomen and legs covered with a depressed 

 white pile; on the apices of the basal 2 abdominal segments it forms broad bands. Pro- 

 notum longer than the mesonotum, which is hardly so long as the scutellum; the meta- 

 notum is long, as long as the 1st abdominal segment; it is of equal width and has the 

 apex broadly incised. $. - - Length 8 mm. 



Kilimanjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 1300 1900 m. April. 



The occiput is transverse and has a sharp margin. There is no malar space; 

 there is a triangular depression between the antennae and the eyes. There is no sutural 

 line at the base of the clypeus. 



Ceropales rnficollis, sp. nov. 



Black; the prothorax, apical slope of metanotum and the legs red; the sides of the 

 face, clypeus and labrum broadly, a line on the inner eye orbits, gradually narrowed 

 above, a narrow line on the outer orbits, post-scutellum, a transverse line on either side 

 of the apex of the metanotum, a broad band near the apex of the 1st abdominal seg- 

 ment, similar, but slightly narrower bands on the 3rd, 4th and 5th and the whole of the 

 6th, pale yellow; antennas red, the apical joints marked with black above; wings hyaline, 

 the nervures and stigma black; the 3rd abscissa of radius about one fourth of the length 

 of the 2nd, the cellule being thus much narrowed in front; it is as long in front as the 

 space bounded by the 2nd transverse cubital nervure and the 2nd recurrent; the 1st 

 recurrent nervure is received near the base of the apical third of the cellule; the 2nd 

 near the apex of the basal third; the cubitus in hind wings originates distinctly before 

 the transverse median nervure.' $. 



Length 7 mm. 



Kilimamljaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 13001900 m. May. 



Face and clypeus sparsely, weakly punctured and covered with a minute white pile, 

 the front and vertex granular; the clypeus is narrowly lined round the edges with rufous, 

 and the labrum is rufous in the middle. The hinder ocelli are separated from the eyes 

 by a distinctly greater distance than they are from each other. Pro- mesonotum and 

 scutellum distinctly, but not closely punctured; the post-scutellum smooth. Metanotum 

 granular; a wide smooth depression at its base, the space on either side striated. Ab- 

 domen smooth and shining. The base and apex of the propleune are broadly roundly 

 raised, the central part therefore appearing depressed. The long spur of the hinder tibite 

 reaches to the apex of the basal fourth of the metatarsus, and is as long as the 2nd 

 joint. The metanotum is obliquely roundly sloped.
