Orceris eratooephala, sp. nov. 



Black, (he 2nd and following segments of the abdomen pale orange-yellow, the 

 face (the colour produced triangularly in the middle upwards to the antennal keel), the 

 clypeus above from shortly below the middle, the base of mandibles broadly in front, 

 and an oblique mark, \ limes longer than wide, above the middle of the outer orbits, 

 pale yellow. Metanotal area closely transversely striated, the stri;e roundly curved; pro- 

 notum sparsely punctured, the mesonotum longitudinally striated, the strife intermixing, 

 becoming stronger and closer towards the apex; the scutellum laterally similarly striated, 

 ils centre with scattered punctures; post-scutellum smooth, except for some punctures in 

 the middle. The metanolum at the base strongly, irregularly transversely striated, the 

 stria 1 intermixing and having among them some strong punctures; the part behind the 

 wings is closely and much more finely striated; the apical slope is transversely striated, 

 finely and broken in the middle above, continuous and stronger below, the strife on the 

 sides much stronger and curved. Propleime smooth, weakly striated on the lower half; 

 rnesopleurre closelv strongly reticulated ; the metapleurre transversely striated to shortly 

 below the middle, where the stri;e are bounded by a longitudinal keel; the lower part 

 aciculated and bearing a few oblique stria?. Abdomen weakly punctured, shining; the 

 pygidium about two- and a half times longer than it is wide at the base, which is almost 

 smooth, the rest is closely, somewhat strongly reticulated, the reticulations becoming 

 weaker and closer towards the apex; the hypopygium widely roundly incised on the 

 apical third, the incision wider than long. Wings dark fuscous violaceous, the nervures 

 black; the 2nd cubital cellule long, the 1st transverse cubital rounded, the 2nd oblique 

 and distinctly longer than it; the cubitus at the cellule has a distinct oblique slope and 

 receives the recurrent nervure at the base of the apical third. $. - - Length 15 mm. 



Kiliinandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated region. 15th May. 



A stout species, with a large head, which is distinctly wider than the thorax. The 

 clypeus in the middle projects into a stout spine, which becomes gradually narrowed 

 towards the apex, which is black, as is also the underside in the middle; the length is 

 not quite double the width at the base. Front closely longitudinally striated, intermixed 

 with punctures; a keel runs from the ocelli to the antenna 3 , extending on to the antennal 

 tubercle, which is large and rounded at the apex. Abdominal basal segment as wide 

 as it is long. 



Cerccris trichionota, sp. nov. 



Black, 'densely covered with longish white pubescence, the face, the lateral line 

 produced upwards above the middle of the eyes, antennal keel, a line above it, rounded 

 and widened above, gradually narrowed below, basal half of mandibles, palpi, a line on 

 the outer orbits, extending to near their top, and obliquely projecting there towards the 

 vertex, a broad line on the pronotum, divided in the middle by the furrow and obliquely 

 narrowed on the oulerside, legnhe, a line on the basal half of the scutellum, the post- 

 scuU'lluui, a broad mark on the sides of the metanotmn, Hie mark obliquely 'narrowed
