„Female. Lenght4lines. — Black, withthe thoraxferruginousabove. 
The head with pale-golden pubescence; the antennae and the base of 
the mandibles ferruginous obscurely. The thorax oblong, rounded 
in front, and narrowed to the metathorax, coarsely rugose, and sprinkled 
with pale glittering golden-coloured pubescence; the legs have a 
similar pubescence. The basal segment ofthe abdomen subglobose and 
covered with silvery pubescence; the second segment with three large 
ovate, bright gold-coloured pubescent maculae, a similar macula at 
the apex ofthe abdomen; beneath, the second, third and fourth segments 
are fringed with white pubescence. Hab. Madagaskar.‘ 
Die Angabe ‚Madagaskar‘ ist sicher irrtümlich, und es dürfte sich 
um eine Form aus O.-Afrika handeln, vermutlich aus der Verwandt- 
schaft der inflata Andre.

‚Head, legs and abdomen black, the latter valvety; thorax obscure 
rufous; head, except a longitudinal medial streak and the cheeks, 
medially, sides of thorax, legs, transverse spots at apex of first dorsal, 
three spots on second dorsal (one anteriorly in the middle somewhat 
ovate, and two larger ones placed transversely near the apical margin 
of the segment), a medial spot on the third, fourth and fifth coalescing 
‚more or less, the second segment along the extreme sides, a small 
spot on the apical margins of the second, third and fourth at the 
sides and the apical margins of ventrals 2—4 entirely, of silvery pu- 
bescence; above the body is clothed with long, erect sparse black 
hairs, which on the ventral surface are pale; head about as wide as 
the broadest part of the thorax, with deep coarse punctures; eyes 
subovate; mandibles furrowed longitudinally and toothed within 
before the apex; flagellum strongly acuminate, the first and second 
joint about equal in length; occiput not cristate; thorax long, some- 
what pyriforme, broadest anterior a little to the middle, the lateral 
borders not dentate; the thorax above scabrous; evidently no scutellar 
scale present, or else it is indistinguishable from the ceoarse sculptur
