uervure, receiving the second recurrent nervure before one-third 
from the base. 
Black ; a small spot below the anterior ocellus, the inner orbits of 
the eyes continued and uniting on the vertex, a line on the posterior 
margin of the head behind the summit of the eyes, the posterior 
margin of the pronotum and a spot at each of the anterior angles, a 
spot on the mesopleurae, a curved band on the scutellum, a spot at 
tlie base of the median segment and a larger one on each side at the 
posterior angles and a narrow transverse band on each side at the 
base of dorsal abdominal segments 1-4 pale yellow ; antennae and 
tibiae fuscous, the anterior tibiae with a yellow line above ; man¬ 
dibles, tegulae, tarsi and pygidium testaceous brown. Wings 
hyaline, nervures testaceous. Length 9 mm.

The genus has been recorded by Fox from Somaliland, 
but not previously from Arabia. In colour this is very 
unlike the Australian species of the genus, also in the 
bifid ungues.

9 . Mandibles falcate, acute at the apex ; clypeus a little produced, 
truncate at the apex. Head rounded, scarcely broader than the 
thorax, convex, shining, finely and sparsely punctured ; antennae 
inserted rather nearer to each other than to the eyes, the second joint 
of the flagellum as long as the third. Eyes touching the base of the 
mandibles, the posterior ocelli much further from the eyes than from 
each other. Thorax sparsely and shallowly punctured, the propleurae 
smooth and shining; pronotum distinctly narrowed anteriorly, 
median segment no longer than the scutellum, obliquely slojjed 
posteriorly. Abdomen finely punctured, the apical dorsal segment 
coarsely punctured and covered with stiff fulvous pubescence, the 
first segment narrowed to the Itase. Second abscissa of the radius 
more than twice as long as the first, but much shorter than the 
third ; the third cubital cell much longer than high, receiving the 
second recurrent nervure at one-third from the base. Eadial cell 
very narrowly truncate at the apex. Posterior tibiae strongly 
serrate. 
Black ; mandibles, antennae and legs testaceous brown ; abdomen 
dark reddish-brown ; clypeus, inner margin of the eyes, a spot be¬
