CAMERON, FOSSORKH. 287 



the 2nd recurrent nervure is received shortly, but distinctly before the middle; the 2 

 recurrent nervures separated by about two-thirds of the length of the 2nd abscissa of 

 radius; the 1st transverse cubital nervure obliquely, roundly curved. Metanotum finely 

 coraceous, a distinct keel down the basal half, the apex at the sides with 4 stout trans- 

 verse striao, which become successively longer; the apical slope with some longish stria?, 

 clearly separated, on Ihe outerside. Pygidium closely, clearly longitudinally striated, 

 sprinkled with some short golden hairs. Sternal process twice longer than wide, the 

 sides raised, keeled, the centre with a narrow keel, the apex with a longish triangular 

 incision, twice longer than it is wide at the apex. $. 



Length 11 13 mm. 



Kilimandjarn: Kibonoto, 1800 -1900 m. April and May. 



Body and legs covered with a silvery pile. The 3rd antennal joint is not much 

 longer than the 4th. The eyes above are separated by the length of the 3rd antennal 

 joint. Face, cheeks and clypeus densely covered with silvery pubescence. A short, 

 narrow, clearly defined furrow runs down from the ocellus, and there is another narrow 

 one above the antenna 1 . 



The pygidium in one $ is densely covered with bright silvery pubescence, and this 

 is probably the case with all fresh specimens ; in this , too, the apices of the abdominal 

 segments bear bands of silvery pile. 



Notogonia massaica, sp. nov. 



Black, covered with a white pile, which forms broad bands on the apices of the 

 abdominal segments, the wings hyaline, iridescent, the apex clouded, violaceous, the 

 nervures black, the 2nd abscissa of the radius about one fourth shorter than the 3rd; 

 the 2nd recurrent nervure is received shortly beyond the apex of the basal third of the 

 cellule, the 2 recurrent nervures separated by half the length of the 2nd abscissa of the 

 radius, the 1st abscissa of the radius roundly oblique; tibial and tarsal spines black. 

 Metanotum with a keel down the basal half, the keel with a few striae on eitherside; on 

 the sides beyond the stigma are a few short stria 3 ; the apical slope has a few striae on 

 the sides; the metapleurae have some short stria' on the apex, and some longer curved 

 ones below. $ and a 71 - Length 11 12 mm. 



Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone. May. 



Eyes at the top separated by slightly more than the length of the 3rd antennal 

 joint; the latter is as long as (he 4-th. Face and clypeus densely covered with silvery 

 pubescence. "Middle of mandibles dark red. There is a furrow below the ocelli, between 

 the raised lobe; lower down is a longer one. Pygidium longer than it is wide at the 

 base, closely strongly, obliquely striated, the pile not dense, golden. The apical joints 

 of the tarsi dark rufous below. The sternal process is twice longer than wide; its sides 

 are raised, more so at the base than at the apex; the base depressed, there is a nar- 

 row, but distinct central keel, and the apex is bilobate, the 2 lobes not very deeply 

 separated.
