the 21-26 flagellar joints white ; the metauotal areola is glabrous and 

 elevated throughout (as in the Indian genus Cratojoppa) ; the scutellum 

 is laterally cariuate to near its apex ; the postpetiole is but obsoletely 

 aciculate, with apex distinctly punctate; the seventh abdominal s--- 

 ment alone is white and the venter plicate throughout; front tibiae 

 internally white-lined tarsi postici desunt. 



Taken at Mfongosi in Zuluhiud by W. E. Jones during May, 1916. 



LEPTOPHATNUS BUCEPHALUS, sp. nov. 



<$ only. A large and somewhat dull black species with the wings 

 nigrescent throughout, the head red and both flagellar band and four 

 apical hind tarsal joints, as well as inner side of front tibiae, white. 

 Length 16 mm. So like the above J as to need no detailed descrip- 

 tion. Therefrom it differs in no more than a few, though pertinent, 

 characters : Head clear red ; cheeks slightly, and the temples very 

 strongly, more buccate ; pronotum also red ; mesopleurae punctate to 

 immediately below speculum ; postpetiole shagreened throughout and 

 not apically punctate ; abdomen narrower, with the apical segments 

 immaculate ; hind tarsi pure white, with only metatarsus and uugues 

 black ; wings somewhat narrower, with radius less curved both above 

 areolet and at its apex. I should have hesitated to regard these details 

 as sufficient to warrant specific rank were it not that the metanotal 

 areola, though equally elongate and narrow, is rugulose throughout 

 and not at all elevated. 



The type occurred to E. M. Lightfoot at East London during li'L-"<.

ISCHNOJOPPA VISIBILIS, sp. nov. 



<!> 9 -^ u elongate, testaceous and somewhat dull species with 

 only the white- banded flagellum, mandibular apices, ucellar region, 

 posterior tarsi and disc of hind tibiae black. Head posteriorly and 

 cheeks very strongly buccate ; face glabrous, uititlulous and impuuctate; 

 frontal orbits not elevated, frous centrally bicarinate. Antennae slender, 

 as long as body ; of <$ serrate, of $ compresso-dilated, beyond their 

 centre. Thorax discally dull ; mesouotum basally depressed, apically and 

 laterally elevated, with strong and subcarinate notauli ; mesopleurae 

 glabrous and uitidulous ; metathorax laterally finely, and discally 

 rugosely punctate, black-pilose between the distinct basal and obsolete 

 apical transcariuae. Scutellum ephippiform, discally deplanate and 

 punctate, with its sides and apex strongly and conspicuously cariuate
