 found in some forest land between Jinja and Mbwago's, east of 

 Busoga,, at about 4000 feet on 28th July, 1911, in Uganda ; and 

 females at Mount Mlanje on 29th IS^ovemlier, 1912 and again on

2. DUrLICATOR, Sp. U, 



A large, rich crimson species, with slightly flavescent-hyaline 

 wings; frons triangularly and broadly to below ocelli, the $ 10th 

 to 16th flagellar joints, the sixth and seventh segments discally, 

 ventral plica and apices of all the ventral segments, white ; 

 mandibular apices, remainder of flagellum and the whole of third 

 to fifth segments, black ; hind coxal scopulae strong, but not large. 

 In sculpture this species differs from the last in little but its 

 ruii'ulose metanotum with discreted petiolai- area,, much shorter 

 capital vertex, distinctly postfurcal lower basal nerviu-e and 

 broader areolet which is not laterally coalescent above. — The cJ 

 also has the whole clypeus, face, centre of external orbits, under- 

 side of scape, pronotalmargin, a linear callosity below I'adix, the 

 postscutellum, apical mai'gins of the second and third segments 

 narrowly, and the three apical joints of its basally black hind tarsi, 

 white. Length, 17 mm. d' 2 • — The female is from 2300 feet at 

 Mlanje on 21st October, 1913, in Nyasaland : and the male was 

 found at South Kavi rondo at 4200 feet early in May 1911 in 

 the Upper Kuja Valley of British Eist Africa. In Zululand, 

 Mfongosi, South African Museum. 



3. TRIPLICATOR, Sp. U. 



So similar to L. duplicator as to need no detailed description ; 

 therefrom I am able to distinguish it only by its rather less clear 

 red coloration, smaller size, more slender and more parallel-sided 

 alidomen, much nai'rower frontal white markings, the entirely 

 crimson third abdominal segment, and the utterly hyaline wings 

 with their areolet quite coalescent above and basal nervure exactly
