 long white hair ; the I'est morc^ sparsely with white pubescence ; 

 wings cleai- hyaline, iridescent, the nerviires fuscons, t(»gnl;e black.

Grahainstown. Misses Daly and Sole. 



Front laterally and vertex bearing round, not very deep 

 clearly separated punctures ; the inner orbits longtitudinally punc- 

 tured-striated. Malar space longei- than the eyes ; the lower hall" 

 with a wide deep furrow. Occiput, except in the centre, closely, 

 strongly reticulated : in the centre is an aciculated space which 

 becomes gradually wider below. Middle lobe of mesonotnm 

 closely, rngosely punctured : the lateral less strongly i)unctured 

 more shining, less stiongly and closely punctured on the inner- 

 side ; it is roundly convex and clearly separated from the middle 

 lobe. Tlie scutellum is sti'ongly, closely punctured-reticulated ; 

 the apical lobes gradually roundly narrowed towards the apex, 

 about as long as thej' are wide at the base ; the hiwei- edge with a 

 distinct bordering keel. On the base of the metanotum are G stout, 

 slightly curved keels, which form, longer than wide, areas ; the 

 apical part bears longtitudinal keels, united by more numerous 

 transverse ones ; the sides project into a triangular point, above 

 the middle : this tooth is bluntly pointed at the apex, and has the 

 sides equal in length. Propleura? distinctly regulaidy reticulated ; 

 the rest more closely rugosely pnnctiired. The base of the hind 

 femora is straight and oblique on the underside, the junction of 

 this with the rounded central part forms an angle ; the apex 

 projects more than the centre. 



The scutellar si)ines are much bi-oader, com]iared with theii* 

 length than in the Furo|)ean species, than in cj/. H. fiifijies. Aliove 

 thev are distinctly hollowed.
