1918] Brues—New Species of Evania from Cameroons (Hymenoptera; Evaniide) 95 
base of the coxe; evenly reticulate, coarsely so behind the inser- 
tion of the abdomen, finely so at the base. Pleure punctate- 
reticulate, the mesopleura with a long smooth space above that 
extends downward anteriorly. Metasternal process long and very 
narrow medially, its tines well-developed, widely divergent, and 
but slightly curved. Legs slender; hind coxe microscopically 
transverse-reticulate; hind femora simple; hind leg not over twice 
as long as the body; longer spur of hind tibia half the length of 
the metatarsus. Petiole of abdomen coarsely obliquely striate 
except near the base. Wings with the basal vein lying closer than 
usual to the subcostal vein; cubitus arising very close to the junc- 
tion of the basal and subcostal veins; nervulus interstitial with 
basal vein; radial vein meeting the subcosta at an acute angle; 
cubitus and subdiscoideus wanting beyond the cells. Hindwing 
_ with seven frenulum hooks. 
This species is somewhat similar to E. verrucosipes Kieff. and 
might possibly be the male of that species which is known from 
the female only. However, the sculpture of the temples, scutel- 
lum, propodeum and petiole is entirely different and the thorax is 
nearly twice as long. From E. cristatifrons Kieff. also known from 
the female, it differs by the absence of the carina on the vertex 
and the pectinate process between the antenne, by the sculpture 
of the petiole, and form of thorax. From E. divergens Kohl it is 
evidently distinct, although Kohl’s description is very incomplete. 
The cheeks are shorter and the basal joints of the antenne are 
much longer, and the color is different. The thorax is very much 
more elongate than in any other Evania that I have seen and the 
antennz are more slender. The thorax is fully twice as long as 
high and the propodeum slopes gradually from base to tip, whereas. 
it usually bends abruptly with an almost vertical posterior face.
