of the upper surface of thorax; spines of the legs black, calcaria pale 
testaceous, those of the hind and medial tibiae pectinate within; 
first segment of abdomen constricted at apex, not continous with the 
base of the following; in the middle transversely cristate, the portion 
before the cerista very flat, ventrally with a short and strong carina, 
which is somewhat emarginate medially; second segment with very 
large punctures, ventrally shining, with the punctures more distinct and 
at the base with a short, central, longitudinal carina; last dorsal smooth 
and shining, at least medially without a pygidial area. 
Length. 12 mm. One specimen near Gelani, 27. 10. 1894. 
This species is apparently close to M.doriae Magr.; but differs 
in the non cristate occiput and absence of scutellar scale.‘ 
Diese Form dürfte in die deckeni-Gruppe, vielleicht in die Ver- 
wandtschaft der neaver gehören.

„Head, prothorax, basal joint of abdomen, antennae, and legs 
pale brick-red, spurs of tibiae fuscous, abdominal segments, except 
the basal one which is densely fringed at base with flavescent hairs 
black and with the basal lateral part of second and third and the whole 
of the fourth clothed with flavescent hairs; mandibles sharp at tip, 
scape and basal joints of flagellum densely hairy, the hairs silky white, 
the first joint short, conical, second twice as long as the first, and of 
the same length as the third; head small, densely clothed with silky 
white pubescence, eyes occupying nearly one-half of the sides, posterior 
angles very much rounded; it is about as broad as the anterior part 
of the prothorax, and is roughly and deeply foveolate; thorax truncate 
at tip and nearly straight, ampliate obliquely laterally from the an- 
terior angle to near the median part, and more oblıquely attenuate 
from there to the vertical declivity where it is about one-third narrower 
than at the base; it issomewhat convex, deeply foveate, the declivity 
is gradually sloping, the sides are not much serrulate, and towards 
the apical sloping there is a moderately distinct tubercle; abdomen 
petiolate, first segment not very long, strongly nodose, punctate, 
setose, elongate foveae having raised walls, but with the foveae smaller 
and the intervals substriate in the apical part; median part of the 
pygidium strongly striate longitudinally from the base to half the 
length, ventral carina of first segment somewhat bluntly tridentate. 
Length 8 mm. Hab. Cape Colony, Uitenhage (Rev. I. A. O’Neil).“‘ 
Diese Art steht nach Andr& der saga Per. recht nahe und unter- 
scheidet sich von der ersteren nur durch das Fehlen des Basalfleckes 
auf dem zweiten Segment und durch die in der Mitte unterbrochenen 
Binden auf dem dritten und vierten Tergit.
