underside of scape and whole face with mouth-parts, pale flavous. 

 Length, c? 2 14-18 mm. — A couple of females were captured by 

 Neave in Nyasaland (on the Mlanje Plateau at 6500 feet on 

 November 10th, 1913) and in British East Africa (on the S.E. 

 slopes of Mount Kenya at between 6000 and 7000 feet early in 

 February 1911) ; the single male, I have reason to believe, is that 

 recorded by the late Colonel 0. T. Bingham under the erroneous 

 genus Lactolus, in his Report of the Ruwenzori Expedition, 

 No. 13, Hymenoptera (Trans. Zool. 8oc. Lond. xix. pt. 2, 1909, 

 p. 179); it was captured at iSalt Lake on Ruwenzori at some 

 7000 to 8000 feet in 1895 by Scott Elliot.

In my Revision of the Cchneumonidse (iv. 1915, p. 112), this 

 genus is recognised as sufficiently distinct from C'lelichneumon ; 

 and Tables are given of the European, Oriental, and American 

 species, though none were known from Africa till 1917, when the 

 Ann. 8. Afr. Mus. published one that is not dissimilar to the 

 two following kinds.
