Vol.1] Bradley. — The Taxonomy of the Masarid Wasps 397 



Generic description drawn from capicola Branns. I have not seen 

 the genotype. 



Nigripennis Sauss. {dct. Branns) agrees in all respects except that 

 parapsidal fnrrows are distinct throughout and 2 tubercles are on third 

 instead of second segment. 



Type. — Ceramius cerceriformis Saussure, genus monobasic. 



Habitat. — South Africa.

5. Shape and general appearance of female of Pseudomasaris, eyes 

 very widely separated above, deepl.y incised, the incision broadly 

 rounded ; clypeus scarcely convex, its apical border trilobed ; labrum 

 semicircular ; mandibles acute, two teeth on the inner margin ; ligula 

 retractile, labial palpi 4-segmented, the fourth segment, however, a 

 minute tubercle, the third about equal in length to the second, and 

 bearing three stout curved spines. Antennae as in Pseudomasaris. 



Humeri rounded dorsally, margined laterally ; parapsidal furrows 

 absent ; mesonotum flattened but not depressed before the slightly ele- 

 vated scutellum, tegula elongate, pointed, covering the base of the 

 scutellum, posteriorly punctate, its outer margin entire ; apical part 

 of scutellum with a weak depression, the apex weakly bifid ; scutellum 

 covering and concealing the rounded postscutellum ; propodeum poste- 

 riorly flat, its lateral angles weak, neither dentate nor mucronate.
