punctured, the sides of the segment finely striated. Abdomen 

 shining, rather closely punctured, more finely at the base of the 

 segments than at the apex, the sixth dorsal segment finely longitudi- 

 nally striated. Basal joint of the posterior tarsi with a scopa of 

 white hair beneath. Third abscissa of the radius about twice as 

 long as the second ; first recurrent nervure received just beyond 

 the middle of the second cubital cell, second just beyond the middle 

 of the third cubital cell.

 shore of Lake Kioga, 3,400-3,600 ft. {S. A. Ncave), August. 



Type in B. M. 



Nearly allied to xanthocera, Gerst., from which it differs 

 in the colour of the antennae, the rather more sparse 

 puncturation and the finer puncturation of the abdomen. 



Elis {Mesa) nyanzae, sp. n. 



^ . Niger, gracilis, albopilosus ; tibiis anticis extus, tarsis anticis, 

 tegulis basi, segmentisque dorsalibus 2-5 fasciis angustis apicalibus 

 late bisinuatis pallide flavis ; alls hyalinis, venis nigris. 



Long. 17 mm. 



(J. Clypeus and front clothed with long silvery pubescence. 

 Front rugosely punctured, vertex coarsely punctured, a deep trans- 

 verse sulcus above the posterior ocelli. Eyes very widely and 

 shallowly emarginate. Antennae longer than the head, thorax and 

 median segment combined, the apical joints a little more slender 

 than the basal. Pronotum a little shorter than the mesonotum, the 

 anterior margin straight and slightly raised, rather finely and closely 

 punctured. Mesonotum and scutelluni more coarsely punctured 

 than the pronotum ; median segment punctured-rugose. Scutellum 

 with an obscure median carina. Abdomen slender ; first abdominal 

 segment about twice as long as the second, the petiole with a median 

 groove occupying the basal third of the segment, which is con- 

 siderably swollen on the apical portion, but not nodose or strongly 

 constricted at the apex. The whole abdomen closely and finely 

 punctured; second segment about one-third longer than the third, 

 as broad at the apex as long, narrowed to the base. Seventh dorsal 

 segment with a distinct elongate oval pygidial area, very shallowly 

 emarginate at the apex. Third abscissa of the radius longer than 

 the second, more than twice as long as the fourth ; second recurrent 

 nervure received just beyond one-quarter from the base of the third 

 cubital cell.
