notuni except discally, the frenum, both base and apex of metathorax, 

 base of first segment, apex of second narrowly and two apical marks 

 on third, all the claws and hind tarsi, black. Basal segment parallel- 

 sided, double as long as broad and not discally canaliculate ; lower 

 basal nervure postfurcal. Length, 10 mm. This species agrees in 

 every way with the characters, set forth in my table of Epiurus (Revis. 

 Ichn. iii, 1014, p. 80, in which at No. " (30) 27" for "hind claws" 

 road " hind claw-joint"), of E. dilutus, Ratz., the $ of which was first 

 described by Bridgman (Entom. xii, 1879, p. 55), who remarks upon 

 its subglabrous abdomen. Therefrom the present male differs in no 

 more than a few essential details : Mesouotum subglabrous and less 

 closely pubescent, mesopleurae transversely sulcate centrally and more 

 deeply punctate below, metanotum glabrous with sparse puncturation 

 and lacking basal carina ; abdomen stouter with the dorso-lateral 

 tubercles a little more prominent ; hind tarsi black throughout : 

 tegulae fulvous, costa and stigma black, upper basal nervure far more 

 oblique and the lower distinctly a little postfurcal ; but especially in 

 having the first segment glabrous and discally smooth with subapical 

 lateral foveae and its base simple, whereas in E. dihda it is discally 

 sulcate and bicarinate from the Literally auriculate base to a subapical 

 transconstriction. 



The type is labelled " C. W. Mally, Agrl. Dept., Elsenberg, Cape 

 Colony, October llth, 1914."

<$ 9 The male has hitherto been unknown. It differs only sexu- 

 ally from the female in at least occasionally having the lateral 

 tubercles of the second and third segments infuscate. I do not find 

 that the 9 has either the hind tarsi or apices of their tibiae black, as 

 indicated by its author ; in both sexes they are but little darker than 

 the remainder of the pale fulvidous legs, with nothing but the tarsal 

 claws black. Both sexes occurred to Jones at Mfougosi in Zululaud 

 during April and May, 1916.
