298 Mr. It. E. Turner on Fossorial Hymenoptera. 



Pseudocalyoza, gen. nov. 



$ . Antennae twelve-jointed, joints 2-6 of the flagellum 

 strongly produced at the apex on the outer side, but without 

 a long lamella ; pronotum long, narrowed anteriorly, not 

 margined, and without a groove on the posterior margin ; 

 mesonotum with two longitudinal furrows on each side, 

 scutellum with a fovea on each side at the base ; median 

 segment margined at the apex, with five longitudinal carinas ; 

 tarsal ungues bifid, with a blunt lobe at the base ; neuration 

 as in Calyoza. 



Pseudocalyoza subramosa, sp. n. 



<$ . Niger ; antennis articulis septetn basalibus, maudibulisque 

 apice brunneo-ferrugineis ; abdomine segmentis quinto, sexto, 

 septimoque, quartoque dimidio apicali rufo-ferrugiueis ; alis 

 subhyalinis. 



Long. 9*5 mm. 



£ . Mandibles broad and short, tridentate at the apex, 

 the outer tooth not much longer than the others. Clypeus 

 with a carina ; head and thorax closely, but not very coarsely, 

 punctured ; head broader than long, the eyes separated from 

 the posterior margin by a distance not equal to their own 

 length. Antennas longer than the thorax and median seg- 

 ment combined, twelve-jointed, the scape no longer than the 

 second joint of the flagellum and strongly curved, first joint 

 of the flagellum very short, the other joints not differing 

 much in length, joints 2-6 strongly produced at the apex on 

 the outer side. Pronotum much longer than the mesonotum, 

 strongly narrowed anteriorly ; median segment distinctly 

 broader than long, with five longitudinal carinas, the lateral 

 carinas converging a little towards the apex, the space 

 between them finely transversely striated. Abdomen shining, 

 very shallowly and indistinctly punctured, with seven dorsal 

 segments ; hypopygium terminating in two long spines, as in 

 Mutillidae. 



Hab. Mlanje, Nyasaland ; November (S. A. Neave). 



The antennas are somewhat similar to those of Pristocera 

 laticornis, Kieff., but in that species the lower discoidal cell 

 is closed. The dilatation of the antennal joints reaches the 

 ninth joint. There is no transverse groove on the pronotum 

 in subramosa.
