Hyme7ioptera. 133 



Temples short, largely roundly narrowed ; the occiput rounded; 

 eyes convei-ging above ; hind ocelli sej arated by about the same 

 distance from each other as they are from the eyes ; apex of 

 clypeus rounded ; mandibles rufous near the middle ; the sub- 

 apical tooth stout, longish. rounded at apex. Pronotum not quite 

 so long as mesonotum ; its apex rounded. Median segment longer 

 than it is wide at the base, its apex rounded, with an oblique slope 

 and an impressed line in the centre. Abdominal segments with 

 broad bands of silvery pile; the 1st segment at base half the width 

 of apex ; it becomes gradually wider towards the apex. Tarsi 

 shortly spined ; the hind spurs thick ; the longer one reaching 

 close to middle of metatarsus ; claws bifid. 



The apical abscissa of radius straight, obliquely sloped ; 3rd 

 cubital cellule large ; its length in front fully half the length of 

 the length behind ; eyes separated by a short space from the 

 mandibles. Head in front longer than wide. 



Anoplius trichioceplialus, sp. nov. 



Black ; the apical two-thirds of hind femora and hind tibias, 

 red ; a spot on under side of antennal scape, and on the last abdo- 

 minal segment, white ; wings dark fuscous, the nervures and

Length 14 mm. 



Hab. Pearston (Prof. Robert Broom). 



The 3rd and 4th joints of antennae almost equal in length. 

 Eyes parallel, not converging above or below ; malar space small, 

 but distinct. Temples short. Occiput transverse. Hinder ocelli 

 separated from each other by about the same distance as they are from 

 the eyes. Labrum more shining and bare than the rest of the 

 head. Pronotum nearly as long as the mesonotum, which has 

 narrow, shallow, but distinct, lateral furrows. Metanotum nearly 

 as long as the mesonotum, its apex slightly roundly incised : in 

 the middle is a narrow impressed line. Tibial and tarsal spines 

 black, s<out and long ; the long spur of the hind calcaria not quite 

 two-thirds of the length of metatarsus ; the claws with a stout 

 basal tooth ; the fore tarsi with short spines, not ciliated. 

 Transverse basal nervure in fore wings interstitial; cubitus in hind 

 wings originating beyond the transverse median ; 3rd cubital 

 cellule in front wing half the length of 2nd ; the 2nd and 3rd 

 transverse cubital nervures roundly curved ; 2nd recurrent nervure
