punctate ; orbits, except at cheeks and temples, and the clypeus 

 laterally white. Antennae immaculate Mack, with the joints sub- 

 serrate. Thorax closely punctate, only black below and at the apex ; 

 prouotum discally, callosities below radices and basal lateral scutellar 

 dots, white ; metathorax convex with areola peculiarly elongate, twice 

 as long as broad and emitting eostulae from its centre ; petiolar area 

 short and vertical. Scutellum rosy, punctate and laterally margined 

 to near its apex ; postscutellum white. Abdomen black with apices 

 of the four basal and of the seventh segments white, those of the 

 second and third centrally interrupted ; basal segment smooth and 

 shining with a few scattered punctures ; venter plicate on second to 

 fourth segments, with the second and third white-margined. Legs 

 normal and black with inner side of front tibiae and apices of their 

 femora white. Wings subhyaline, with stigma and nervures black; 

 areolet pentagonal, not coalescent' above and emitting recurrent 

 nervure slightly beyond its centi-e ; discoidal cell with its lower 

 external angle obtuse and nervelet short. Length, 14 mm. It is 

 the only known species of this genus with red thorax. 



The type was captured at Mfongosi in Zululand by W. E. Jones 

 during May, 1916.

COELICHNEUMON TETIOLAKIS, Sp. nOV. 



9 only. A stout and dull brick-red species with a central flagellar 

 band white and a mesouotal line, the frenum, areola and petiolar 

 area, base of petiole and the hind tarsi, indefinitely black ; apex of 

 postpetiole clearly and deeply punctate both discally and laterally. 

 Length, 13 mm. Quite unlike the species from the palaearctic, 

 Indian or New World regions (tabulated in my Revis. Ichn. iv, 

 1915, p. 120) in its immaculate face, tibiae and intermediate femora; 

 in the distinctly punctate postpetiole; and immaculate rufescent 

 abdomen. It is most closely allied to C. rudin, Fonsc. ; therefrom 

 it differs in its coloration, smaller size, much less buccate cheeks, 

 deeper clypeal foveae, closely punctate mesouotum and scutellum, 

 more evenly punctate metauotum, not at all rugose postpetiole, 

 centrally punctate base of the second segment, lack of ramellus and 

 the lower emission of the spurious nervure from nervellus. 



The type was taken at " G-illets, Natal," during September, 1915 

 by k W. A. Bell-Marley.
