lower nervure is distinctly angled at the central emission of the recur- 

 rent uervure in that species, while here the lower nervure is straight 

 throughout and the recurrent emitted at its apical third. In colora- 

 tion this insect differs in having its head red, second segment 

 immaculate, and (agreeing with G. bamlis) in the conspicuous sub- 

 baisal white band of its hind tibiae. Length, 9 mm. 



The type is from Durban in April, 1915 (H. W. Marley) ; a co-type 

 from Mfougosi in Zululand in April, 1916 (W. E. Jones). 



GrORYPHUS TESTACEUS, Mori. 



Ann. S. Afr. Mus. xv, 1916, p. 375, . 



<$ 9 . Both sexes have the. basal segment elongate about live 

 times longer than apically broad and sublinear, the basal metauotal 

 trauscarina obsolete and strongly sinuate, more usually the stigma is 

 testaceous, and their length varies from 6|-9 mm. The uudescribed 

 female differs from my male description (loc. cit.) in having the hind 

 tarsi, calcaria and tibiae fulvous, with the claws and onychii alone 

 black ; antennae nearly as long as body, slender and black with the 

 basal flagellar joints and scape, fulvous, in both sexes; abdomen 

 elongate-fusiform with the deflexed terebra infuscate and as long as 

 basal segment, which is fully a third of the abdomen in length. The 

 gynetype is from Kloof, Durban in Natal, during February, 1915 

 (H. W. Bell Marley) ; and further males are fi-om Mfougosi in 

 Zululand during April and May, 1916 (W. E. Jones). 



G-ORYPHUS CELOENO, sp. nov. 



^ only. A dull and slender, dark testaceous species with the 

 flagellum except its subapical white baud, ocellar region, posterior 

 tarsi and a basal dot on inner side of hind tibiae, black ; the three 

 mesonotal lobes and anus indefinitely infuscate, and pleurae ochraceous. 

 Instantly kno-.vn from all other species of this genus by its stoutly and 

 irregularly reticulate-striate frons and face, which latter io quadrate ; 

 the clypeus is but slightly convex and apically rounded ; the inner 

 orbits carinately elevated ; metauotum with no apical transcarina, 

 basal area indistinct ; metapleurae deeply impressed longitudinally 

 above, not cariuate ; basal segment linear and glabrous. Length, 

 11 mni. Were it not for the typically (ror^/itts-structure of the 

 areolet I should place this male in the Cryptini genus Friona, Cam., 

 with which the sculpture of its metathorax so well agrees this is stoutly 

 and evenly trans-striate throughout both iiotuin and pleurae from the 

 basal cariua. 



Taken during 1913 at Durban in Natal by W. Haygarth.
