second at the base. Areolet lai'ge, oblique, shortly appendiculate, 

 almost sessile in front. Mandibles rufous, tinged with yellow, their 

 teeth black. Palpi rufous, thickly covered with white pubescence. 



? CAMrOPLEX CRASSIVENTEIS, Sp. nOV. 



Black ; the apical half of the third and the greater part of the 

 fourth and fifth abdominal segment, red ; the four anterior femora 

 and tibiae red ; the fore tarsi yellowish, the hinder tibiae obscure red 

 at the base ; wings fuscous, tinged with violaceous ; areolet tri- 

 angular, appendiculated ; the recurrent nervure is received close to 

 the apex. ? . 



Length 13 mm. 



Cape Colony. Namaqualand ; O'okiep. 



Head, pro- and mesothorax closely punctured ; the front trans- 

 versely punctured, the middle smooth, finely keeled. Median 

 segment closely rugosely punctured ; the punctures running into 

 reticulations; the centre broadly furrowed. Abdomen thick, not 

 compressed, broad above ; almost the apical half of the first segment 

 nodose ; the seventh shorter than the sixth, transverse, not narrowed 

 at the apex ; sheaths of ovipositor short, not projecting beyond the 

 apex of the segment. Clypeus not separated from the face ; its apex 

 broadly rounded. Mandibles rufous behind the teeth. Palpi black. 

 The transverse median nervure received very close to the transverse 

 basal, almost interstitial. 



The abdomen in this species is broader, less compressed, than it is. 

 in the typical species of Campoplex. 



PIMPLOMOEPHA, gen. nov. 



Areolet absent ; the recurrent nervure interstitial ; transverse 

 median nervure received shortly behind the transverse basal, 

 almost interstitial. Stigma large, broad ; the radius issues from 

 shortly beyond its middle, and does not extend much beyond the 

 middle, the radial cellule therefore being short. Transverse cubital 

 nervure long. Parallel nervure broken shortly above the middle. 

 Clypeus separated from the face ; its apex broadly rounded. Upper 

 tooth of mandibles longer than lower. Eyes parallel. Parapsidal 

 furrows absent. Base of metanotum areolated ; the areola large^ 

 longer than wide, the base narrowed to a point, the apex trans- 

 verse; spiracles small, oval. First abdominal segment long, the 

 apex dilated ; the spiracles are placed at the base of the apical 

 third ; the segments are compressed, but moderately broad above ; 

 the ovipositor is longer than the abdomen, nearly as long as the
