are close, and run into reticulations. Flagellum of antennae 

 densely covered with short black pubescence. Hind til)iae sparsely, 

 their tarsi more thickly spinose. The stump of a nervure on the 

 disco-cubital is longish, the transverse median nervure is received 

 shortly behind the transverse basal. Coxa? covered with white 

 pubescence ; the posterior closely punctured, the others smooth 

 and shining. The front is only slightly depressed. 



Zonoanjptus was founded by Dr. Ashmead (U.S. Nat. Mus. 

 XXIII, 40) on an undescribed African species {Cry plus sphingis, 

 Ashm. MS.) Probably Gryptua erythrogaste)\ Holmgren (Euge- 

 nies Hesa, Hymen, p. 397) from the Gape of Good Hope is another 

 species. That species, however, has the metathoracic spiracles 

 " elongatis," which is certainly not the cause with mine.
