Anisolahls cetliiopica, sp. n. 



Statura map;na ; colore atro, feraoribus fulvis, nigro-geniculatis, 

 tibiis fuscis ; abdomen segmentis 5-9 acutis, rugulosis ; forcipis 

 bracchia 6 prope basin sat dilatata, fortiter arcuata, asym- 

 metrica ; parameres breves, dilatati. 



Size large and build powerful; general colour jet-black, 

 the femora orange. 



Antennae yellowish-brown ; third segment relatively very 

 long. 



Head black, smooth, sutures distinct. 



Pronotum nearly square, but wider than long and gently 

 broadened posteriorly, all black, smooth. 



Sternal plates black ; prosternum constricted. 



Legs sometimes all black, sometimes femora orange-yellow 

 tipped with black ; tibiae and tarsi dark, blackish brown. 



Abdomen moderately dilated, jet-black, very finely and 

 densely puncfulate ; sides of fifth to ninth segments in ^ 

 acute and rugulose. 



Last dorsal segment ^ ? nearly square and nearly smooth. 



renultiinate ventral segment ^ obtusely rounded, apically 

 truncate ; in ? rather acutely rounded. 



Parameres short and dilated, outer margin sinuous and 

 sharply pointed at the apex. 



Forceps with the branches ^J remote, stout, and trigonal, 

 with an almost rectangular dilation on inner margin, abruptly 

 attenuate and abruptly and asymmetrically bowed, unarmed ; 

 in the ? contiguous, straight at first, in apical half gently 

 and asymmetrically sinuous, inner margin denticulate. 



Abyssinia: Jakka and Kuhne, 8 cj, 12 ? {Krislensen, 

 coll. Petersen and c. m.). 



This species closely resembles some forms of A. mauri- 

 tanica, Luc, but differs in the basal dilation of the forceps of

 bicolorous legs. 



The colour is a much deeper black than in A. mau7'i'tanica, 

 with no trace of red tint, tl.e pronotum less decidedly trans-

Fiom A. 77U()-iU»ia it also differs in the finer pitting, 

 more acute and rugulose sides of the abdomen in the ^ , and 

 more decidealy truncate pronotum. 



It differs markedly from both in the short dilated apical
