Ill this species the nidial cellule is slightly and the 2ud cubital 

 cellule distinctly longei- than it is in M. hicolor, it being clearly 

 longer than wide ; the ocelli are not in a triangle and the recurrent 

 nervures are received further from the transverse cubitals. In the 

 other generic characters they agree. The 3rd and 4th joints of the 

 antennae are equal in length. If not a Microphadnus there is no 

 other genus in which it can be placed. The cubitus in hind wing- 

 originating, in the hind wings, behind the transverse median 

 nervure separates it from the known genera of Ajmrini. 



Plan/ceps ruficaudis, sp. nov. 



Black, the oral region and the 3rd and following segments of 

 the abdomen rufous ; the basal 3 or 4 joints of the antennae dark 

 rufous beneath : tarsi for the greater part rufous, their spines black ; 

 calcaria white, the long spur of the hinder two-thii'ds of the length 

 of the metatarsus ; wings hyaline, suffused with dark fuscous, the 

 stigma and nervures black. Female. 



Length 8 mm. 



Grahamstown, Dr. Becker. 



Antennae stout, the 3rd joint not much longer than the 4th. 

 Hind ocelli wide!}" separated, separated from each other by 3 times 

 the distance they are from the eyes. Occiput almost transverse. 

 Eyes long ; malar space small, the eyes reaching close to the base 

 of the mandibles. Temples as long as the 2nd antennal joint. 

 Median segment as long as the mesonotum and the scutellum ; its 

 sides at the apex clearly projecting. Pleur<e closely, minutely 

 punctured, thickly covered with silvery jjubescence. First re- 

 current nervure received 3 times the distance from the 1st that the 

 2nd is from the 3rd, the latter being received close to the 2nd 

 transverse cubital nervure. The abdomen is not quite as long as 

 the mesonotum with the metanotum. 



Pseudagenia kloofensis, sp. nov. 



Black, covered with a cinereous i)ile, the apex of clypeus 

 broadly, the apex of fore femora and tibire narrowly and the 

 crreater part of the fore f emoi-a below, rufous ; the fore tibiae in
