Myzine ca^ncola, sp. n, 



^ . Niger, robustns, albopilosus ; pronoto linea utrinque margine 

 anteriore, fascia angusta margine posteriore, tegulis macula, segmento 

 dorsali primo macula apicali utrinque, segmentisque 2-6 maculis 

 tribus transversis apicalibus flavis ; segmento dorsali septimo apice 

 lateribusque late rufo ; mandibus fusco-ferrugineis ; tibiis tarsisque 

 rufo-testaceis, flavo-variegatis ; alls hyalinis, venis nigris, stigmate 

 fusco-testaceo. 



Long. 18 mm. 



^ . Clypeus widely and shallowly emarginate at the apex, closely 

 punctured. Antennae stout, of even thickness throughout, a little 

 longer than the head, thorax and median segment combined. Eyes 

 widely and very shallowly emarginate on the inner margin. The 

 whole insect closely and not very finely punctured, more coarsely 

 on the front than elsewhere. Pronotum shorter than the mesonotum, 

 not much narrowed anteriorly, the anterior margin emarginate, the 

 posterior margin widely arched. Median segment steeply sloped 

 posteriorly. First abdominal segment broad, obliquely sloped 

 anteriorly to the petiole, the surface of the slope slightly concave. 

 First ventral segment with a distinct tubercle beneath at the base 

 of the oblique apical truncation. Abdomen broad, the segments 

 strongly depressed at the base ; seventh dorsal segment flattened on 

 the apical portion, the incision as deep as its apical breadth, the 

 lateral processes pointed. Second abscissa of the radius long, a little 

 longer than the third ; second recurrent nervure received at about 

 one-eighth from the base of the third cubital cell. 



Hah. Cape of Good Hope. 



Type in B. M. 



This fine species may be distinguished by the tubercles 

 on the first ventral segment, the black clypeus, the red 

 apical segment and the short first dorsal segment with the 

 slightly concave anterior slope. The colour somewhat 

 resembles M. haemorrhoidalis, Guer., but the description 

 does not altogether agree.
