Found by Dr. Melle. Arcturus, 1915, Salisbury in Mashoualand, 

 and by Jones at Mfongosi in Zululand. The 9 differs only sexually; 

 in the present instance, also in having the uervellus interrupted at a 

 slightly higher point, and the thorax of a paler colour, than the male. 



ALLOCAMPTUS CRASSELLUS, sp. nov. 



$ only. A testaceous species with head mainly flavous, stigma and 

 costa and ilagellum nigrescent ; agreeing in all essential characters 

 with the Australasian A. crux* it* (Eevis. Ichu. i, 1912, p. 20), but 

 much smaller with the stigma darker, and base of radial nervure 

 strongly sinuate. Basal nervure continuous through median, uer- 

 vellus genieulate at its lower third, scute-Hum deplanate and laterally 

 carinate only to its centre; metauotum shagreened with its basal 

 region smoother. From all African species with corneous alar marks, 

 the posterior breadth of the head, which is no less than that of the 

 eyes, will distinguish it. Length, 17 mm. 



Captured at Mfongosi in Zululaud during March, 19 16, by W. E. 

 Joues.
