A palaearctic species, known from Germany, France and the Channel 

 Islands ; doubtless imported here. One female was bred by Lightfoot 

 at " Cape Town, January, 1909, from larvae of the Geometrid moth 

 Oxteodes turlulentata, Gucn. ; feeds on Acacia horrida."

The species of this genus are extremely puzzling and so closely allied 

 that general descriptions are vain repetitious. Careful distinctions 

 are essential, and for that purpose I here present a table of such as I 

 have seen from South Africa. I am convinced that the white 

 abdominal markings are inconstant. 



1. Normally stovit, black-and-red species. 

 (13). 2. Second recurrent emitted from near centre of areolet. 

 (12). 3. Postpetiole subglabrous or scabrous, not bicarinate. 



(5). 4. Clypeus pyramidally produced centrally. curniger, sp. iiov. 



(4). 5. Clypeus not produced. 

 (11). 0. Metanotum un.icari.nate, basally rugulosc. 



(8). 7. Meaonotum discally sulcate ; terebra a third the length of abdomen. 



trisulcaius, Mori. 



(7). 8. Mesonotum not so ; terebra = 5 of abdominal length. 

 (10). 9. Areolet normal, angled below ; hind tibiae black, lulxitus, sp. nov. 



(9). 10. Areolet small, straight below ; hind tibiae basally white. 



cine titii in, sp. nov. 



(6). 11. Metanotum bicarinate, basally glabrous. euanescens, Mori. 



(3). 12. Postpetiole striolate, longitudinally bicarinate. bisulcatus, Mori. 



(1). 14. Strongly elongate, slender, testaceous species.
