176 Mr. W. L. Distant on the 



opportunity of detecting the posteriorly obliquely truncate 

 metapleurae. I have now had the opportunity of examining 

 a good series of specimens. 



Hab. South Rhodesia (C. F. M. Sivynnerton). Gaza Land; 

 nr. Chirindi Forest (G. A. K. Marshall). Nyasaland; 

 Mlanje (S. A. Neave). 



The British Museum also now possesses a specimen 

 labelled " near Sfax, Tunis (de Boerio)," a locality which I 

 consider doubtful.

Dull purplish red, more or less pale ochraceously or 

 greyishly pilose ; eyes black ; pronotum with the anterior

 base, scutellum and membrane black, the latter with its 

 basal angle and apical margin greyish white ; body beneath 

 thickly greyishly pilose, sternal and abdominal segments 

 witli prominent lateral black spots ; legs black, greyishly 

 pilose ; antennae with the basal joint ochraceous and its 

 extreme base sanguineous, remaining joints black, extreme 

 base of second joint ochraceous, second joint a little longest, 

 third and fourth almost subequal : anterior marginal area of 

 pronotum posteriorly defined by a waved, obliquely rounded 

 incised black line ; scutellum more thickly pilose, with a
