This is the first species of Montezumia described from 

 Africa, and is very typical of the genus as defined by 

 Saussure. Any mention of the small pad of pubescence on 

 abdominal sternite 2 seems to have been omitted in 

 Saussure's description of M. indica ; a similar pad is present 

 in both that species and M. ivallacei, M. -Waldo.

Caput thoraxque ferruginei ; abdominis segmento secundo fascia 

 magna alba, abdomiue nigro (segmento primo excepto) ; alls 

 obscuris, violaceo micantibus. 



(J . Ferruginous ; clypeus for the most part, scape be- 

 neath, and a broad fascia on apical margin of abdominal 

 segment 2, pale yellow. Abdominal segments 2-7, with 

 exception of abdominal sternite 2, black. Flagellum dark 

 above. 



Clypeus subtriangular truncate, twice as long as broad. 

 Shape of thorax and comparative width of abdominal seg- 

 ments as in jR. grayi. Punctuation coarse, as in R. yraiji. 

 Wings fusco-hyaliue, with a violet effulgence. Second 

 abscissa of the radial cell is \ as long as the third abscissa, 

 whereas in R. grayi it is only ^ as long.
