Species of Fossorial Hymenoptera from Africa. 735 



(?. Clypeus narrowly and very sliallowly emarginate at the apex, 

 closely punctux'ed. Antennae stout, a little thickened towards the 

 apex, the third joint of the flagellum longer than the second. Eyes 

 widely, but very shallowly, emarginate. The whole insect closely 

 and rather deeply punctured, rather more sparsely on the abdomen 

 than elsewhere. Pronotum not narrowed anteriorly, shorter than 

 the mesonotum, the anterior margin straight. Median segment short, 

 very steeply sloped posteriorly, the dorsal surface marked with a 

 shallow longitudinal groove. First dorsal segment short and broad, 

 obliquely sloped anteriorly to the petiole. Abdominal segments 

 distinctly constricted at the base ; the incision of the apical segment 

 much broader at the apex than deep, the lateral processes short and 

 pointed. Third cubital cell small, less than half as long as the 

 second both on the radius and on the cubitus ; second recurrent 

 nervure received at the middle of the third cubital cell.

(J . Clypeus shallowly emarginate at the apex ; antennae stout, of 

 even thickness throughout, as long as the head, thorax and median 

 segment combined. Eyes widely and rather shallowly emarginate 

 on the inner margin ; the frontal prominence between the antennae 

 shallowly emarginate. Head, thorax and median segment closely 

 and rather finely punctured ; pronotum a little shorter than the 

 median segment, slightly narrowed anteriorly, the anterior margin 

 straight, the posterior margin widely but not deeply emarginate. 

 Median segment rounded, the dorsal surface slightly convex. First 

 abdominal segment subglobular, slightly constricted at the apex, 

 the portion beyond the short petiole broader than long. All the 

 segments shining and rather sparsely punctured. Incision of the 

 seventh dorsal segment triangular, a little wider at the apex than 

 deep, the lateral processes narrowly rounded at the apex. Second 

 abscisBa of the radius a little longer than the third, second recurrent
