Norgate's has, but the areolet is differently shaped ; and 

 Katzeburg and Brischke have assigned a very different 

 female to it. 



Nemeritis ruftpes, n. s. 



Niger, pedibus runs. 



This insect comes next to N. macrocentra, but differs 

 in having the legs entirely red, and the segments of the 

 abdomen longer. 



Head transverse, narrow behind the eyes. Antennae 

 about three-fourths the length of the insect. Thorax 

 longer than high ; metathorax with five areas ; supero- 

 meclial area longer than wide ; back part of metathorax 

 concave. Abdomen long and slender, nearly twice as 

 long as the head and thorax ; 1st segment longer than 

 the hind coxae and trochanters ; 2nd segment nearly 

 three times as long as wide ; the 3rd not quite twice as 

 long as wide ; 4th and 5th subquadrate ; 6th slightly 

 transverse ; abdomen covered with fine white pubescence ; 

 aculeus about two-thirds the length of the abdomen, 

 very slightly curved upwards. Areolet of wings petio- 

 lated ; recurrent nervure received beyond the middle ; 

 the transverse anal nervure not interrupted. Legs 

 slender. 



Black ; legs red ; extreme apex of tarsi fuscous ; 

 base of wings pale straw-colour ; stigma pale piceous. 

 Female. Length, 7 mm. 



This very distinct species has been taken by Di\ 

 Capron at Shere, who kindly gave me the specimen from 

 which this description is taken. 



Mesocltorus pectinipes, n. s. 



Niger ; facie, segmentis tertii medio, pedibusque runs, 

 coxis posticis nigris. 



Head behind the eyes subbuccated ; face transverse, 

 a little narrower above than below ; mandibular teeth of 

 equal length ; clypeus distinctly separated from the face, 

 widely rotundate, smooth, with a few scattered punctures ; 

 face distinctly and rather coarsely punctured, becoming 

 finer and closer towards the centre ; from the centre of 

 the clypeus to the antennae runs a distinct ridge, and 

 from this transversely below the antennae, slightly in- 

 clining upwards exteriorly, is another line, which together
