The new species which furnish the material for this 
paper are mostly in the collection of the Berlin Museum, 
though a few are from other sources. The material shows 
that the genus Anthohosca ranges all up the east of Africa 
into Arabia, and also adds a new genus to the small family 
Sapygidae, the type of the genus having been placed in 
the British Museum by the late Colonel Bingham. Ash- 
mead has divided the Scoliidae into several families, which 
I retain as sub-families, but some of the genera he includes 
must be placed elsewhere. 
Family SCOLIIDAE. 
Sub-family MYZININAE. 
Myzine nigrita, sp. nov. (Plate L, fig. 6.) 
^. Clypeus produced and rather broadly truncate at the apex, 
coarsely punctured. Head rugose, broader than the pronotuni, the 
posterior ocelli more than half as far again from the eyes as from each 
other ; the antennal tubercles large, the scape short, no longer than 
the second joint of the flagellum, antennae short, scarcely longer than 
the thorax and median segment combined, very stout, the second 
joint of the flagellum more than half as long again as the first, a 
little shorter than the third, joints 5-10 strongly arcuate beneath. 
Head and thorax clothed rather sparsely with long cinereous grey 
pubescence, the abdomen very sparsely clothed with short greyish- 
white pubescence. Thoi’ax closely punctured, the pronotum much 
shorter than the mesonotum, the median segment rounded, not trun¬ 
cate. Abdomen closely and finely punctured, the petiole about equal 
in length to the third joint of the posterior tarsi, the first segment, 
excluding the petiole, a little longer than broad, not constricted 
at the apex, the whole abdomen of an elongate fusiform shape ; 
seventh dorsal segment with a longitudinal depression on each side 
on the apical half, the apex narrowly and not deeply emarginate, the 
depth of the emargination scarcely as great as the width at the apex.
