108 Annals of the South African Mtiseiim. 



Antennae stout, not tapering towards the apex, 31-jointed, thickly 

 covered with short, black, stiff pile. The raised central part of 

 the face and the sides strongly, but not very closely punctured. 

 Thorax smooth and shining ; the lower part of the propleurjB at the 

 apex striated ; the base of the mesopleurae, from near the top, 

 strongly and closely punctured behind the depression which is stoutly 

 crenulated. Abdomen smooth and shining ; the basal four ventral 

 segments are cream-coloured at the apex, the basal segment broadly 

 so. The recurrent nervure is received the length of the transverse 

 cubital nervure beyond it. 



Paeacolltkia fumipennis, sp. nov. 



Eufo-fulvous ; the antennae, more than the apical two-thirds of the 

 hind tibiae and the hind tarsi black ; wings fuscous, a small hyaline 

 cloud, wider than long, at the base of the stigma, a larger, broader 

 one extending from the costa to the discoidal nervure, the part in 

 the radial cellule, wider slightly at both sides than that beyond it. ^ . 



Length 15 mm. ; terebra 7 mm. 



Natal. Newcastle. 



Antennae not quite so long as the body, stout, not tapering towards 

 the apex ; the pubescence minute, sparse ; denser towards the apex ; 

 the last joint somewhat compressed laterally, as long as the pre- 

 ceding two united ; there are twenty-nine joints. Face strongly, 

 but not very closely punctured ; the clypeus depressed, smooth. 

 The curved apical half of the mandibles black ; the rufous of the 

 base is tinged with yellow. The upper side of the thorax is smooth ; 

 there is a curved keel on the apex of the metanotum, with a keel 

 down its middle ; there is a row of punctures on either side ; behind 

 these a double row of punctures in the middle above the keel. 

 Propleurae smooth, except for a crenulated furrow down the apex. 

 Mesopleurae closely punctured except at the apex above. Abdomen 

 smooth and shining ; the basal two segments are largely marked 

 with black above ; the ventral segments are edged with pale yellow 

 at the apex ; the basal much more broadly than the others. 



Paracollyria pulchripennis, sp. nov. 



Rufous ; the antennae, mandibular teeth and the hind tibiae and 



tarsi, black ; the wings yellowish hyaline ; a triangular cloud along 



the transverse basal nervure, not reaching to the costa and the 



narrowed end in front, the apex from the commencement of the
