EHOGAS, Nees. 

 Ehogas melanoceeus, sp. nov. 



Testaceous, the antennae, apex of hind tibias broadly and the 

 hind tarsi, black ; wings hyaline, the nervures, costa and stigma 

 black. 3 . 



Length 7 mm. 



Transvaal (Rustenburg). 



Head and thorax closely, finely, distinctly punctured, the meta- 

 notum more rugosely punctured. Basal three segments of abdomen 

 closely longitudinally striated ; the longitudinal keel on the basal two 

 distinct, on the third distinct on the middle only ; the furrow on the 

 base of the third segment is wide, crenulated. Second cubital cellule 

 longer than wide, of equal width throughout. 



Rhogas melanocephalus, sp. nov. 



Rufous, the antennae, head, the third abdominal segment, except 

 narrowly at the base, and the whole of the following, black ; the apex 

 of the hind tibiae, the greater part of the posterior and the greater 

 part of the four anterior, blackish ; wings hyaline, the stigma and 

 nervures black ; the costa and subcostal nervure at the base 

 testaceous. 3' • 



Length 9 mm. 



Natal. Estcourt. 



Head closely punctured, the face and clypeus more closely than 

 the top ; the face with a longitudinal keel above ; a double furrow 

 runs down from the ocelli, with two transverse keels near the top ; 

 two or three keels or striae run from them to the eyes ; the lower, 

 outer part is obliquely striated, more closely on the outer than on 

 the innerside ; the punctuation runs into reticulations. Base of 

 mandibles dark testaceous ; the palpi black, stout, covered with white 

 pubescence. Thorax closely punctured, more or less shagreened and 

 striated. Scutellum narrowed towards the apex, the sides keeled. 

 Median segment more strongly punctured than the rest ; there is a 

 fine longitudinal keel on its basal half. Basal segment of abdomen 

 closely punctured-reticulated ; the second closely longitudinally 

 striated, the punctures interlacing ; the third closely finely striated ; 

 the other segments smooth ; the keels down the middle of the first 

 and second segments are fine, not very distinct.
