120 MR. CLAUDE MORLEY ON AFRICAN 



2. FUMOSA Mori. 



This species usiiaUj has the pronotum and propleiirfe red, but 

 the latter is occasionally, like the prosternnm, black-blue; its 

 anal white markings are not infrequ9ntly obsolete. It is appar- 

 ently somewhat local in Central Africa ; I have recently seen 

 females taken at Mlanje in Nyasaland on 5th and 25th Septem- 

 ber and 7th November, 1913, by Neave ; and at Salisbury in 

 Mashonaland in September 1913, as well as at 5000 feet there 

 daring June 1900, by Marshall. — The var. apiccdis certainly does 

 not merit specific rank, for I have seen a 2 of intermediate form 

 between the typical one and this variety, which, while showing 

 the apically clear wings of the latter, bears no white markings 

 at all, and, moreover, has the mesonotum and part of mesopleurae 

 of the dull ferruginous coloration found in E. triangalifev, 

 though the abdomen is of normal breadth and much broader 

 than in that species. It was taken at Mlanje in Nyasaland, 

 between September and February, 1914, by J. B. Davey. 



3. PYGIDIFER, Sp. n. 



A stout and somewhat large, bright blue species with the head, 

 pronotum, and propleurse red ; centre of the long flagelluni 

 broadly, second segmental plica and the anus from middle of the 

 sixth segment, white ; and the mandibles and remainder of 

 fiagellum black. Abdomen gravid with the second and third 

 segments longer than broad, and the hypopygium covering base 

 of terebra. Length, 23 mm. $ only. — The resemblance of this 

 species to E. fumosa is remarkable in the structure and coloration 

 of the head, thorax, legs, and wings, of which the last are some- 

 what more ample though equally inf umate ; but the sub- 

 cylindrical abdomen is utterly difFerant in shape and anal 

 structure. The second segment is distinctly and the third 

 slightly longer than broad, with the former deeply' emarginate 

 in the centre of its apex and the latter more broadly on either 

 side of its base ; apex of second a,nd whole of the following 

 segments glabrous and strongly nitidulous, as also is the convex 

 venter ; hypopygium large, apically simply rounded and covering- 

 base of the almost concealed terebra. So extraordinaiy is this 

 structure that a new genus would bo requisite for the present 

 species were it not that both oxypygous and amblypygous forms 

 occur in the allied genus Frotichneibmon. — The type was captui-ed 

 at Entebbe in Uganda dui^ing August, 1911, by 0. C. Gowdey. 



7. CARINIFER, sp. n. 



A dull ferruginous and coarsely sculptured species with the 

 palpi, mandibular base, frontal orbits, flagellar band, anus from 

 lifth segment, ventral plica and more or less of the anterior with 

 apex of the hind cox£e beneath, and inner side of anterior femora, 

 white; mandibular apex, fiagellum, apex of prosternum and base 

 of mesosternura, and reaiainder of anus from base of fourth
