138 MR. CLAUDE MORLEY ON AFRICAN 



which I have seen, is from the Cape; and W. E, Jones has 

 subsequently found the species at Mfongosi in Zuluhmd. 



2. GLABRINOTOR, sp. n. 



Very like the last species, but with the head posteriorly buccate 

 and fully as broad as the eyes, not at all black but bright red 

 with only the orbits of its utterly glabrous frons and the palpi 

 white. Thorax strongly nitidulous, with a white callosity beneath 

 radices ; niesonotum extremely isolatedly punctate with but short 

 notauli ; metathorax deplanate with areola sublinear, fully 

 thrice longer than broad, glabrous and emitting weak costuUe 

 from beyond its centre; external and lateral arete badious. 

 Scutellum glabi-ous and glittering with some half dozen punc- 

 tures, and laterally carinate to its centre. Abdomen fusiform 

 and apically acute ; postpetiole badious, sparsely punctate, with 

 no cariuje ; fourth and following segments nitidulous ; apical 

 angles of the second narrowly and whole of the 6th-7th white. 

 Legs normal ; anterior femora and tibise internally whitish ; 

 hind coxal scopuhe large. Length, 13 mm. 5 only, — The 

 sublinear metanotal areola is not unlike that of the genus Crato- 

 joppa Cam. (Ann. Nat, Hist, vii, 1901, p. 281), in which the 

 scutellar carinpe are Avanting, the areolet coalescent above, the 

 head large, &c., which characters do not here obtain. — Found by 

 ISTeave in Nyasaland to the S.W. of Lake Chilwa on 16th January, 

 1914.
