A genus of Anopliini easily known by the distinctly incised 

 apex of clypens, cleft labrum, striated median segment and long, 

 sharply pointed, mandibles, 



Sell izfDiopli lis uiolace/pennis, sp. nov. 



Dark brick-red ; the apical 6 joints of antennae, an oI)lique mark 

 on the sides of the ocelli touching the eyes and united to a larger, 

 somewhat triangular, spot in front of and touching the anterior, a 

 mark on the pi'opleura?, the mesopleurje, mesosternum, median 

 segment, the greater part of the ventral surface oi the al)domen, 

 the base of the 1st and the apices of all the segments, the fore coxae 

 above and the 4 posterior entirely black ; wings fuscous-violaceous, 

 metanotum transversely striated ; the middle with a longitudinal 

 furrow. Female. 



Length 18 mm. 



Eyes clearly converging above ; malar space very small ; eyes 

 almost touching the base of the mandibles ; *ooth of mandibles 

 black ; hinder ocelli separated from the eyes by a greater distance 

 than they are from each other ; temples nearly as long as the scape 

 of the antennae, rounded behind ; occiput transverse. Pronotum 

 large, but shorter than the mesonotum, its sides rounded ; the base 

 forming a distinct neck ; metanotum clearly longer than it is wide 

 at the base ; its apex with a gradually rounded slope ; 3rd abscissa 

 of radius nearly twice the length of the 2nd ; the 1st recurrent 

 nervure is received near the base of the apical third ; the 2nd 

 shortly beyond, the middle of the cellule. The inner spur of 

 calcaria does not reach to the middle of metatarsus ; the underside 

 of tarsi thickly spined ; the tibiae sparsely spined. 



Anojdiusjohannis, sp. nov. 



Black, the basal 2 segments of abdomen entirely, and the basal 

 half of the 3rd, red ; wings fuscous- violaceous ; 3rd cubital cellule 

 greatly narrowed in front, being there about half the length of 

 space bounded by 2nd transverse cubital and 2nd recurrent 

 nervure ; transverse median nervure received distinctly bej'ond 

 transverse basal ; 1st recurrent nervure received in apical fourth, 

 the 2nd very shortly behind the middle of cellule ; cubitus in hind 

 wings almost interstitial, received very shortly behind transverse 

 median. Female. 



Length 17 mm. 



1st joint of flagellum not quite so long as the 2nd and 3rd 

 united. Pronotum longer than mesonotum, its apex broadly 

 roundly arcuate. Apex of median segment with a rounded slope,
