the entirely red coxae and rufescent hind femora ; and by the hyaline 

 wings. 



The type was taken at Smithfield in the Orange Eiver Colony by 

 Dr. D. E. Kannemeyer during 1910. 



GORYPHUS BASALIS, Sp. 11OV. 



? only. A somewhat stout red species with the abdomen except its 

 extremities, the posterior legs and antennae, black ; a centi-al flagellar 

 band, the fifth to seventh segments and base of hind tibiae, pure 

 white ; front legs internally stramineous ; metathorax very short and 

 convex, with basal area entire but its lateral transcarina wanting, 

 apophyses acute and not small ; postpetiole nigrescent, much broader 

 than long and subrugulose throughout, abdomen short-ovate, petiole 

 red; terebra reflexed and as long as basal segment; wings hyaline 

 with tlu second recurrent nervure emitted from extreme apex of 

 areolet ; lower basal nervure strongly a,utefurcal. Length, 8 mm. 

 Instantly known from both the above by the apical emission of the 

 recurrent nervure, the elongately antefurcal lower basal nervure and 

 the basally pure white hind tibiae, in which feature it is closely allied 

 to the Indian G. (Melcha) Nursei, Cameron, though differing in its 

 shorter metanotuin with distinct apophyses, the position of the lower 

 basal nervure, lack of white-marked orbits and postpetiole, etc. 



The type was taken at Kimberley by Bro. J. H. Power during 

 August, 1913.

<$ only. A slender, dark castaneous species, partly merging into 

 black, with the apical half of the second and fifth segments, disc of the 

 anal entirely, face, clypeus and palpi, with anterior coxae and 

 trochanters, white. Head dull and not very narrow posteriorly, dis- 

 tinctly punctate with the clypeus twice as broad as long, its base 

 subdiscreted, apex rounded and strongly margined arid sides deeply 

 black-foveated ; mandibles black with equal teeth. Antennae immacu- 

 late, nearly as long as body and apically a little attenuate. Thorax 

 narrow and somewhat shining ; mesonotum coriaceously punctate, with 

 deep and entire notauli ; metathorax rugose and distinctly bitrans- 

 carinate, with its base glabrous on either side of the triangular basal 

 area ; spiracles oval, apophyses wanting. Scutellum small, finely 

 punctate and not margined. Abdomen slender and centrally sub- 

 nigrescent; basal segment but slightly explanate apically, scabrous 

 throughout, with spiracles at its apical third ; second segment twice as 

 long as broad, punctate, with small thyridii ; hypopygium not pro-
