Hahropoda capensis, Cam. 



Brak Kloof. Mrs. G. White. 



Hahropoda lata, ap. nov. 



Black ; the hair on the head white, on the top of the thorax 

 fuscous, tipped with black, on the scutellum darker coloured, on 

 the pleurse and breast pale. The abdomen sparsely covered with 

 black hair ; the apices of the segments broadly banded with white 

 depressed pile. The hair on the coxcb, femora and base of tibige 

 pale, on the rest rufous, the calcaria pale testaceous. Wings 

 hyaline, iridescent, with a fuscous-violaceous tinge, especially 

 towards the apex ; the stigma and nervures black, the tegulse 

 fuscous-black. 



Length 11-12 mm. 



Glen Lynden. Miss Leppan. 



Clypeus closely rugosely punctured, its apex depressed, 

 slightly waved. Thorax, except in the middle of the mesonotum, 

 which is almost smooth, closely and distinctly punctured and in 

 the centre of the scutellum behind ; the centre of the metanotum 

 is alutaceous. The apices of the ventral segments are lead 

 coloured ; the hair on the basal segments fuscous, on the others 

 fuscous tinged with rufous. 



This is a smaller species than H. capensis ; apart from the 

 difference in colouration, &c., the two may be separated by the 

 difference in the length of the second and third cubital cellules : 

 in capensis the second cellule on the lower side is as long as the 

 third : in lata it is not much more thaii half its length ; the 

 second cellule, too, being of equal width at top and bottom, while 

 in capensis it is clearly longer behind than in fi-ont. It is also a 

 broader species compared with the length. 



Anthidium melanosomum, sp. nov. 



Entirely black, except the apical joints of the four front 

 tai'si, which are rufous, the tarsi above thickly covered with pure 

 white pubescence, below with dark rufous ; the front with long
