radius apically straight and not elongate; nervellus subopposite and 

 hardly angled at its lower fourth. Length, 9 mm. 



This androtype is labelled " Congella," where W. A. Bell-Marley

EUPALAMUS CARINISCROBES, sp. nov. 



cT 9 A large and stout, shining and dark red species, with 

 only the white-banded flagellum and apical half of abdomen blade ; 

 frontal orbits broadly, and in <$ face etc., white ; juxta-scrobal 

 orbits carinate. Head of <$ with face, clypeus, external orbits and 

 under side of the black scape, white. Thorax very finely and closely 

 punctate with pronotum almost glabrous and metanotum to the 

 infra- spiracular carinae rugose, its areola double as long as broad, 

 remote from base, emitting distinct oostulae from its centre; petiolar 

 area short and discreted ; <$ with prouotum and callosity beneath 

 radices flavoits. Scutellum deplanate and glabrous with a few fine 

 punctures, laterally carinate to near its apex which in the <$ is, like 

 the postscutellum, flavous. Abdomen stout with the third to fifth 

 and sides of sixth segments black, the remainder and in $ apices 

 of second and third narrowly, white ; basal segment broad and very 

 finely shagreened ; second closely punctate with small gastrocoeli, 

 third far more finely sculptured and remainder nearly smooth. Legs 

 stout and elongate, with claws large and simple ; hind coxal scopulae 

 of 9 large ; $ with inner side of front tibiae, and three apical joints 

 including claws of its otherwise black hind tarsi, white. Wings 

 ample and distinctly fulvescent with costa and nervures black, stigma 

 and tegulae fulvous ; nervures exactly as in E. Wesmaeli, excepting 

 the areolet which is slightly less produced internally, and a little 

 curved externally, with its sides coalescent above. Length, ^ 9> 

 17 mm. This species is a true Enp<it<i,i</i,s, bearing all the characters 

 ascribed to that genus by Thomson (Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1886, 

 p. H); the colour, but especially the coxal scopulae, differentiate it 

 from E. convexins (Ann. S. Afr. Mus. xv, 191 o, p. 362). 



Both sexes were discovered by W. E. Jones at Mfongosi in Zululand 

 during April and May, 1916.
