reticulated closely in the centre ; there is a large central area 

 bordered at the base by two small ones, of which the inner is the 

 larger and more regular ; the sides are coarsely aciculated, opaque 

 and densely covered with white pubescence. Ventral surface rufous, 

 as are also the apical segments above. Hinder femora with the basal 

 two-thirds keeled below ; the keel with two curves. Apex of clypeus 

 irregularly bilobate, the incision wider than deep, the lobes rounded. 



Stomatoceras ? suLCiscuTis, sp. nov. 



Black, densely covered with silvery pubescence, the 4 anterior 

 tarsi, knees, and apices of tibiae dark rufous; wings fuscous, the 

 basal third almost hyaline. J . 



Length 6-5 mm. 



Cape Colony. Hex Eiver. 



Antennae thick, eleven-jointed (but the three apical may be com- 

 posed of two), covered with a close, white pile; the third joint greatly 

 narrowed at the base, as long as the following two united. Head 

 closely, strongly punctured, formed as in the preceding species ; the 

 labrum irregularly striated. Pro- and mesonotum and scutellum 

 closely, strongly, almost uniformly punctured; the apical half of 

 scutellum depressed in the middle. Scutellar teeth longer than their 

 width at the base, bluntly pointed at the apex, centre of metanotum 

 with an area about three times longer than wide in the middle ; the 

 part on either side irregularly areolated; the keels at the base curved, 

 below straight, transverse. Pleurae closely, rugosely punctured, 

 pilose; the apex of metapleurae shining, smooth, irregularly areolated 

 like the metanotum. Abdomen sessile; the second segment smooth, 

 shining, as long as the others united ; the apical are closely, 

 strongly punctured. There are two curves on the under side of the 

 hind femora, the basal being the longer ; they are closely, minutely 

 serrate. Seen from above there is not much difference in the length 

 of the basal four joints of the hind tarsi. 



Stomatoceeas ? EUFiPEs, sp. nov. 



Black, the basal three joints of the antennae, the end of the apical 

 joint and the legs red ; wings hyaline, a small cloud at the stigma, 

 the cloud longer than the width at the base, and slightly narrow^ed 

 towards the apex. $ . 



Length 5 mm.
