Ilere I shouM like to give somes notes aboLil ll)ree species, viz. 

 Ccnlruclisis brachygaaler RuR., C(i^itrocUsis disiincta Rbr. and 

 Centrocl. edax Walk. Ramhur bas giveli a good description of the 

 anal appendages of the maie oF Cetdr. brachygaster, and Ihe maie 

 spécimens of lliis species are Iherefore r.ither oasily idenlilied.

Sogra iracunda Navas, Memorias, p. 159, 1912. The type spécimen 

 ((^f) from East Africa is Centr. hrachygastev according lo the shape 

 of the anal appendages. The female spécimen of the Navasian 

 species which is also présent in Yienna Muséum, and which 1 

 before (Arkiv for Zoologi, Stockholm, p. 14, 1916j bave referred 

 to distincta Rbr , may probably be the female of bracltygaster. 



Sogra mordax Navas, Memorias, p. 151, 1912 Tlie type-specimen 

 is a maie from East AtVica and according to tlie shape of the anal 

 appendages it is a spécimen of brachygastor ; but is diverges from 

 the typical species on account of the présence of a strongly 

 marked, abrupted longitudiual streak along the Min the forewing 

 and by Ibe brownish spot at the origin of the posterior Ranksian 

 fine, also in the forewing. 1 bave seen several spécimens from 

 East Africa of this aberrant form, for which I propose tlie name 

 Centr. brachygaster forma mordax Navas, if by further examination 

 of suiïîcient material the forma Uneatipennis Pkrinc.., which I 

 (Arkiv for Zoologi, p. 14, 1916) bave placed near disiincta Ri3H , will 

 not prove to be the same ; in that case Uneatipennis bas the 

 priority. In « Arkiv for Zoologi », p. 14, 1916, I bave made a 

 niistake. The maie spécimen (Stockholm Muséum) from Kigonsera 

 which I hâve placed neSiV disiincta Rbr. belongs according to Ibe 

 shape of the anal appendages .to brachygaster forma mordax 

 Navas. 



Centroclisis distincta Rambur bas very often been misunderslood. 

 The type spécimen (y) is placed in the Selysiali Collection 

 (Bruxelles Muséum). 1 bave seen it, and at ban.d 1 bave an exellent
