the much broader pygidial area, the much stronger punctnra- 

 tioii of the abdomen, the colour of the nervures, and tlie 

 costal infuscation, which in chrysorrhmns is confined to the 

 radial and second and third cubital cells, the more clearly 

 defined stigma, and the more deeply emarginate clypeus. 

 The spines of the basal joint of the fore tarsus are shorter and 

 more numerous than in cknjsorrhoeus. 



S. marshalli, Turn., is also near chry^orrhoena, but has the 

 pvgidial area much less distinct and also somewhat broader, 

 with the golden pubescence almost absent ; the colouring, 

 especially on the first dorsal segment, is also different. A 

 variety of cJirysorrhoeus from Marsabit, British East Africa, 

 lias the basal dorsal segment ferruginous in the middle 

 in botii sexes, but appears to be identical otherwise. It is 

 ])Ossible that S. aurifluus may prove to be the female of 

 S. tenuicornis, Sm., but the colour of the wings is different.

Tliis species, from North Rhodesia, is nearly allied to the 

 South-African Stizus imperiuHs, Hancll , but may be distin- 

 guislied by the deeply emarginate clypeus as well as by the 

 less extensive yellow markings. The seventh tergite of the 

 male is much narrower than in S. imperialis.

There is a single specimen of the female in the Britisli 

 Museum from Kambove, Katanga, 4000-5000 ft., taken by 

 Neave in June 1907.
