segment, hind trochanters with their tai'si and more or less of 

 tlieir tibiae, black ; wings hyaline or slightly flavescent, with 

 stigma black. Length, 12-14 mm. $ only. — Known by its 

 distinctive coloration, the but islightly convex and glabrous 

 scutellnm which bears a few scattered punctures, the simple 

 niesonotum, by the longitudinal striation at metanotal base, and 

 especially by the shining longitudinal carina on centre of both 

 mesonotum and second segment. — Probably not rare : Mlanje at 

 2300 feet, on 13th June and 8th October, 1913, in Nyasaland ; 

 on the S.E. slopes of Mount Kenya at 6-7000 feet, between 

 3rd and 12 th February, 1911, in British East Africa; at Western 

 Ankole at 4500 to 5000 feet in mid-October, 1911 (jVecive), a.nd 

 an unlocalised specimen (ex coll. Cameron) from Uganda. 



8. TRIANGULIFER, Sp. n. 



A dull ferruginous and coarsely sculptured species with flagellar 

 band and an vis from fifth segment alone, Avhite ; mandibular apex, 

 liagellum, whole sternum indefinitely, a discal mark at base of 

 fifth segment and nearly the whole legs, black ; wings hyaline 

 with stigma black. Length, 15-17 mm. c? $ . — Much narrower 

 than E.fumosa and constantly larger than E. carinifer, from the 

 latter of which it difl'ers in little but its less pi'ofuse markings, 

 subpyramidal and closely rugose scutellum, and in having the 

 mesonotum sliglitly elevated tuberculiformly on either side of its 

 apex, the centre of which is triangularly depressed. The typical 

 S has the facial orbits broadly but not the frontal, base of 

 mandibles and of palpi, the anterior coxse beneath and their 

 femora internally, stramineous ; flagellum immaculate black. — 

 All the specimens I have seen were captured by Neave at Mlanje 

 in Nyasaland, at about 2300 feet, during the first half of June 

 and early in September, 1913.

11. STRIATIFRONS, Sp. n. 



A short and somewhat stout species with the scape, head, 

 except the black mouth and clypeal apex, pro- and mesothorax 

 with scutellum, crimson ; metathorax and basal segment bright 

 blue, remainder of abdomen violaceous with anus, apex of second 

 segment both above and below, and apex of the first below onlj-, 

 paie stramineous ; legs entirely and flagellum, except its central 

 stramineous band, black ; metathorax coriaceous, with fine carinas 

 and the ai-eola not more shining. Length, 13 mm. $ only. — 

 Similar in size and sculpture to E. nigricoxata Mori. (Revis. 

 Ichn. iv. 1915, p. 53), but with the frons, which is utterly
