Legs and antenn.e thickly covered with stiff black pubescence : 

 the middle lobe of mesonotum raised, but the furrows not dis- 

 tinctly defined throughout ; calcaria and tarsal spines testaceous ; 

 the recurrent nervure is not quite interstitial ; the 3rd abscissa of 

 radius slightly shorter than i2nd. 



Iphiaulax odontoscapux, sp. nov. 



Lengtli 10, terebra 5 mm. 



This species agrees in colouration with /. (ethiopicus, but is 

 much smaller ; its ovipositor is only half the length of the body ; 

 the striation on the basal 4 abdominal segments is finer and closer, 

 the oral region, front legs, and palpi are entirely black, the 2nd 

 abdominal segment is broader than long, as are also the 3rd and 

 4tli, not longer than broad ; the abdomen is shorter compared 

 with the thorax ; its middle is distinctly broader than the thorax, 

 and more distinctly narrowed towards the base and apex ; there is 

 no area on the base of the 2nd segment ; the apical cloud in the 

 fore wings is of the same size, but is straight, not dilated back- 

 wards in the middle as in the larger species ; the face is less 

 strongly rugosely punctured, and the apex of the scape of antennae 

 projects into a; distinct stout spine. 



This species appears to be closely related to I. luctuosus, Be. 

 but it may be known from it by the 2nd abdominal segment, not 

 having a smooth triangular plate at the base. 



Iphiaulax 12-fasciatus, sp. nov. 



Rufous : the antennae, head, pronotum, mesonotum with 

 scutellum, the lower part of propleurae and mesopleurae largely 

 from close to the bottom, black ; wings fuscous, a large hyaline 

 cloud in the centre of the costal and median cellules, an irregular 

 one extending from the stigma to the opposite side of the wing, 

 where it is narrowed, a small one at the outerside of the 2nd 

 transverse cubital nervure, a cloud at the base of the hind wings, 

 a larger obli(iue behind, and a wider, more oblique one beyond the 

 middle ; the stigma yellow at the base. Female. 



Length 12, terebra 17 mm. 



Front and vertex smooth, the middle of front deeply depressed, 

 flat, the centre furrowed ; the sides broadly, roundly raised ; face 

 i-ugose, irregularly reticulated, its sides depressed ; the oral region 

 and mandibles, except at apex, rufous ; palpi covered with white 

 hair, rufous, black at base. Face sparsely covered with long white
