Species of Fossorial Hymenoptera from Africa. 751 



alis flavo-hyalinis, limbo late infuscato ; venis basi testacei?, apice 

 fuscis. 



Long. 16 mm. 



5 . Clypeus almost transverse at the apex, with a very shallow 

 and narrow emargination in the middle. Second joint of the 

 flagellum equal in length to the third, about three and a half times 

 as long as broad. Eyes separated on the vertex by a distance equal 

 to the length of the second joint of the flagellum. Median segment 

 finely transversely aciculate, with a low median carina on the basal 

 half, much longer than the breadth at the base, the sides of the 

 segment striated. Sixth dorsal segment closely punctured and 

 without much pubescence. Comb of the anterior tarsi very short 

 and with few spines, only five spines on the basal joint. Tarsal 

 ungues long, without a tooth. Third abscissa of the radius nearly 

 half as long again as the second. The -whole dorsal surface, except 

 the middle of the median segment and the sixth dorsal segment, 

 clothed with short golden pubescence. 



Hah. Uganda, Entebbe {C. G. Gou^dey), August 15. 



Type in B. M. 



This closely resembles a small specimen of Liris hae- 

 morrlioidalis, Fabr., but is a true Notogonia. N. primania, 

 Kohl, resembles the same species, but is larger, and differs 

 in the proportionate length of the second joint of the 

 flagellum compared with the distance between the eyes on 

 the vertex, in the comb of the anterior tarsi, and in the 

 sculpture of the median segment. The antennae of pri- 

 mania are much shorter and stouter than in the present 

 species. 



Notogonia goivdeyi, sp. n. 



9. Nigra, mandibulis basi, clypeo apice, scapoque fusco-ferru- 

 gineis ; tarsis anticis fuscis ; alis nigro-violaceis ; segmento mediano 

 transverse rugoso-striato. 



^ . Feminae simillimus. 



Long. $ , 21 mm. ; (J, 14 ram. 



9 . Clypeus almost transverse at the apex, with a shallow and 

 narrow emargination in the middle, the apical half strongly, but 

 sparsely, punctured, the basal half finely shagreened. Second joint 

 of the flagellum as long as the third, more than three times as long 

 as its breadth in the middle. Eyes separated on the vertex by a 

 distance equal to about three-quarters of the length of the second 

 joint of the flagellum. Median segment longer than the basal 

 breadth, coarsely transversely rugose-striate, without a median
