Liris violaceipennis, sp. nov. 



Black, tbe antennal scape and the basal 2 joints of the antenna 1 red, the 3rd joint 

 of the flagellum for the greater part of a darker red; tbe apical half of the fore femora 

 and their tibife and tarsi red; wings uniformly fuscous violaceous, the nervures black; 

 apex of pygidium in -? broadly roundly incised ; the pygidium in $ covered with de- 

 pressed reddish golden pubescence. Smooth, the sides of the mefathorax finely, closely 

 obliquely striated. Mandibles, except at the apex, rufous, tf and $. 



Length $ 23, tf 1417 mm. 



Meru low lands, Ngare na nyuki. - Mombo, Usambam. June. 



First joint of antennal flagellum twice longer than wide, the 2nd not quite one 

 fourth longer than the 3rd. Eyes distinctly converging above, separated there by a little 

 more than the length of the 2nd joint of the flagellum. Metanotum finely, but not very 

 closely punctured, the punctures becoming finer and closer towards the apex; in the 

 centre of the basal half is a distinct furrow, marked with some fine transverse slri;c-; 

 the apical slope is more strongly and closely punctured, and has a few fine curved strife; 

 on the upper half is a furrow which is shallow and indistinct above, deep and clearly 

 defined below. Pygidium closely, obliquely striated, more strongly on the apex than on 

 the base. The 2nd abscissa of the radius about one fourth of the length of the 3rd ; 

 the recurrent nervures are received near the apex of the basal fourth of the cellule and 

 are almost confluent; the 1st transverse cubital nervure is roundly curved. In one tf 

 the 1st and 2nd transverse cubital nervures are almost united. The apical joints of the 

 tarsi incline to rufous. The 2nd ventral segment in the tf becomes gradually roundly 

 dilated from the base to the apex; in the $ it is not so much dilated; in both sexes 

 the ventral segments are impunctate. Antenna? and legs stout; the spines on the 4 an- 

 terior tibia? and tarsi rufous, on the hinder black.

N'otogonia punctipleura, sp. uov. 



Black, sparsely covered with a silvery pile, the mesonotum closely, distinctly punct- 

 ured, the scutellum as closely, but not so strongly punctured, the mesopleurse, if any- 

 thing, more strongly punctured than the mesonotum, a crenulated furrow down its base, 

 the propleurae almost smooth; with a few striae in the middle; metanotum closely reticul-
