tlie much broiidor pygiflial area, t!ie niucli stroni^cr punctma- 

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

 co.^tal infuscation, wliich in rhn/sorr/iu'iis is confined to the 

 radial and second and third cul)ital cells, the more clearly 

 di'fined stigma, and the more deeply emarginatc clypeus. 

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

 more numerous than in chrijsorrlui'HS. 



S. mai'shalli, Turn., is also near chnjsorrhceun, but has the 

 pvf^idial 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 chn/sorrhaeus from Marsabit, British East Africa, 

 has the basal dorsal segment ferruginous in the midiile 

 in both sexes, but apj)ears to be identical otherwise. It is 

 ]i0ssible that S. aurijiuus may prove to be the female o£ 

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

This species, from North Rhodesin, is nearly allied to the 

 South-African Sttzus imperhilis, Handl , but may be distin- 

 guished by the deeply emarginate cU'peus as well as by the 

 less extensive yellow markings. Tlie seventh tergite of the 

 male is much narrower than in S. imperialis.
