392 Mr. Rowland I^Turuer’s Notes on the Scoliidae. 
Aculeus moderately recurved, short, the apex only reaching the 
emargination of the dorsal segment. Second abscissa of the radius a 
little longer than the third, first recurrent nervure received just be¬ 
yond the middle of the second cubital cell, second at one-fifth from 
the base of the third cubital cell. 
Black ; the calcaria whitish. Wings hyaline, nervures black. 
Length 15 mm. 
Hah. Cape Colony. 
Type in Berlin Museum. 
The arcuate joints of the antennae, the short aculeus 
and the more flattened form of the first abdominal segment 
distinguish this species at once. 
Myzine continua, Cam. 
Flesia contimta, Cam., Rec. Albany Mus., i, 5, p. 299, 1905. 
I think Cameron has very much underestimated the 
variability in the males of this group, and that his continua 
and interruyta are probably the same species. I think 
they probably belong to Myzine rather than to Flesia, but 
Cameron does not mention the shape of the first abdominal 
segment. The deep slit in the apical dorsal segment of 
the abdomen which is mentioned in the description is 
alway present in Myzine, but is often absent in Flesia. If 
it is considered impossible to distinguish between the 
males of the two genera, it seems there is no excuse for de¬ 
scribing them in Flesia, the name Myzine having priority, 
and its use for the males being recommended by Saussure. 
Some of the males described by Cameron from Baluchistan 
as Flesia have proved beyond doubt to belong to Myzine. 
The descriptions of continua and of interrupta apply fairly 
well to a species which has a wide range in South Africa, 
and shows considerable variation both in colour and the 
smaller details of neuration. I think it probable that it 
is the male of Myzine rufifrons, Fabr.; the range of both 
extends from the Zambesi to Cape Colony. In the males 
of this genus, and in both sexes of Tiphia, there is a fine 
field for the species monger, which fortunately has not 
yet been exploited. 
Myzine rujinodis, sp. nov. (Plate L, fig. 5.) 
^. Clypeus short and broad, the apical margin almost transverse, 
shallowly emarginate in the middle, strongly punctured at the base, 
almost smooth at the apex. Head, thorax, and median segment
