82 Mr. R. E. Turner on New Species of 



in the middle and scutellum with a few scattered punctures, the 

 sides of the mesonotum more closely punctured. Median segment 

 as in conigera, Kohl., but with the tubercles at the apical angles 

 much smaller and less curved. Second dorsal segment much 

 broader than long, shorter than in conigera; second ventral seg- 

 ment convex at the base as in conigera. Fifth joint of the tarsi 

 inserted close to the base of the fourth joint. Three cubital cells, 

 the length of the radius beyond the junction of the third transverse 

 cubital nervure equal to the length of the second transverse cubital 

 nervure. 



Hah. Abyssinia, Harar {Kristensen). 



Very nearly allied to conigera, Kohl., but differs, as 

 pointed out in the description, also in the much greater 

 length of the radius beyond the third cubital cell, and in 

 the narrower apical portion of the clypeus and shorter 

 frontal carina. 



Subfamily STIZINAE.

 angulis posticis, scutello macula utrinque, postscutello fascia 

 angusta interrupta, segmento mediano angulis posticis, segmentis

 transversa apicali in medio, tibiis anticis, intermediis subtus, tar- 

 sisque anticis subtus flavis; tibiis posticis tarsisque ferrugineis;

Long. 10 mm. 



$. Eyes separated at the base of the clypeus by a distance half 

 as great again as the length of the scape. Head and thorax sub- 

 opaque, very closely and minutely punctured and covered with 

 very short fuscous pubescence, which is closer on the mesonotum 

 than on the head ; median segment much more strongly punctured, 

 thinly covered with short whitish pubescence ; abdomen rather less 

 strongly punctured than the median segment, with faint blue tints 

 in certain lights, sixth dorsal segment very closely punctured. 

 Second cubital cell not iJetiolate, the first abscissa of the radius at 

 least three times as long as the second.
