116 Mr. R. E. Turner on Fossorial Hymenoptera, 



the primary division of the order should be neither into 

 Oethorrhapha and Cyclorrhapha, nor into Nematocera 

 and Brachycera, but into Polyneura and Oligoneura, 

 the former including, in addition to the Tipulid-Culicid 

 group of the Nematocera, the whole of the Cyclorrhapha 

 and the Orthorrhapha Brachycera.

Family Mutillidae. 



Ephutomorpha suhmetallescens, sp. n. 



5 . Cferulescens ; abdomine pedibusque cupreo-purpureis ; an- 

 tennis nigris ; mandibulis nigris, basi ferrugineis ; segmentis 

 dorsalibus 1-5 macula apicali albo-hirta. 



Long. 12 mm. 



$ . Head distinctly narrower than the thorax, closely and 

 rather coarsely punctured, not much narrowed behind the 

 eyes, rather strongly rounded posteriori}^ ; eyes large, as 

 near to the posterior margin of the head as to the base of 

 the mandibles ; antennal tubercles well developed, second 

 joint of the flagellum as long as the first and third combined. 

 Thorax very coarsely reticulate, nearly twice as long as the 

 greatest breadth, a little broader in tlie middle than on tlie 

 anterior margin, the apical third rather strongly narrowed. 

 Abdomen closely punctured, the punctures on the second 

 dorsal segment larger than on tlie others and more or less 

 confluent ; first segment oblique from near the apex to the 

 base, slightly constricted at the apex, with a spine on each 

 side at the base beneath and with a small patch of white 

 hairs at the apex ; second dorsal segment very long, more 

 than half as long again as the greatest breadth, narrower at 

 the extremities. No pygidial area. The sides of the apical 

 segments clothed with long black hairs. Intermediate and 

 hind tibiai without spines on the outer margin. Calcaria 

 white, the outer apical angle of the tibise produced into 

 two short spines much less than half the length of the 

 calcaria.
