162 MR. CLAUDE MORLEY ON AFRICAN 



flavescent. Length, 13-15 mm. S ? • — 't'he type was captured 

 at Mlanje on 4th October, 1913, at 2300 feet, in JSTyasaland ; and 

 the an(h'otype between Jinja and Biisia in some forest laud east 

 of Busoga on 28th July, 1911, at 4000 feet, in Uganda. 



2. UNIPUNCTOR, Sp. n. 



An elongate black male with profuse whitish markings ; the 

 legs and abdomen, except anus, red with segmental apices whitish. 

 Extremely like S. didymatus but with the mandibles and palpi 

 black, the frontal and external orbits immaculate ; basal two- 

 thirds of flagellum red, pleurpe and mesonotum immaculate ; 

 areola finely sculptured and apically stramineous ; scutellum 

 convex ; basal segment red, the fifth and sixth black, with only 

 their n.pex whitish, and the fourth basall}^ nigrescent ; tegulaj, 

 coxfe n.nd trochanters entirely black ; areolet broader and very 

 broad above. Length, 13 mm. S only. — The type w<as captured 

 at Harrar in Abyssinia, 1912. 



3. TRIANGULATOR, Sp. n, 



A black male with profuse whitish markings ; the legs and 

 abdomen red, with segmental apices whitisli. Yery similar to 

 the last species and difiering from S. didymatus in the convex 

 scutellum, sculptured metanotal areola, black external orbits and 

 mouth-parts, and in the rufescent flagellum. It is distinct in 

 having the areola remote from metanotal base, and its apex 

 flavous, which colour extends thence obliquely to the obsolete 

 apopliyses; the abdomen is not black-marked, and the stigma is 

 black. Length, 9 mm. S only. — The type is from Queenstown in 

 Cape Colony, where it was captured during 1907 by E. T. Wells, 



Xenojoppa. 



The discovery of this genus in Africa is as interesting as that 

 of Lagenesta and other genera that have hitherto been regai'ded 

 as purely Oriental ; it is even more so, on account of its peculiar 

 specialization, for it is the only one known to me among the 

 Ichneumonides that shares coxal dentition with the Phteogenides. 

 Xenojoppa wa.s published by Cameron in 1902 (Entomologist, 

 XXXV. p. 179) upon finding that his original name for the genus, 

 Magrettia (Ann. Nat. Hist. vii. 1901, p. 480) had already been 

 employed by Brunner v. Wa.ttenwyl in the latter's 'Monographie 

 der Stenopelmatiden und Gryllacriden ' (Verb. z.-b. Ges. Wien, 

 xxxviii. 1888, p. 285). Two species were brought forward by its 

 author (lib. cit, p. 481 et xii. 1903, p. 569); and I have seen a 

 third * ; all from ISTorthern India. Tiie following considerably 

 extends its southern rane-e. 



* Xenojoppa kali, sp. nov.

 inner ocular orbits flavous and most of the mouth rufescent; clypeus not discreted.
