170 MR. CLAUDE MOIILEY ON AFRICAN 



the ;uidrofcype was captured nt 6400 feet, on Mount Kokanjero, 

 to the south-west of Elgon, in early August 1911, in Uganda. A 

 rather difi'erently coloured female. is labelled simply " Erythi'ia," 

 and shows no structural modifications. 



3. CETA Mori. 



A female of this species which I brought forward in Ann. 

 S. Afr. Mus. xvii. 8, 1917, p. 203, with the capital disc entirely 

 red, was taken at St. James, in Cape Town, on 24th October, 

 1911, by K. H. Barnard. 



4. VALLATUS Mori. 



I was only able to indicate the male of this species (Ann. 

 S. Afr. Mus. XV. 1916, p. 370). The $ differs in having the 

 ocelli alone black, the six basal flagellar joints apicall}' sub- 

 nodulose and the first pale beneath ; the stramineous thoracic 

 markings are obsolete and mesonotum totally black ; the areola 

 not broader than long ; the scutellum is testaceous, postpetiole 

 nigrescent, terebra black and but slightly exserted. 



Fort Portal Road, at Mbarara, Southern Toro, at some 4000feet, 

 on 22nd October ; and on the north-west shores of the Victoria 

 JSJ'yanza, at 3800 feet, in the middle of September 1911, in 

 Uganda. 



Subtribe Phseogenini. 



Benecles. 



Head fully as broad as thorax ; apex of clypeus broadl}?- and 

 centrally impressed, its sides obliquely sulcate above ; mandibles 

 stout and parallel- sided with the upper tooth acute and the lower 

 the shorter; temples small and obliquely constricted. Antennae 

 longer than body with scape distinctly shorter than basal 

 flagellar joint, which is much longer than the second. Meta- 

 notum slightly impressed basally and not produced apicallj^ with 

 complete ai-eee and no apophyses ; areola broader than long and 

 subconstricted towards its trinicate and sti'ongly ca)-inate apex; 

 spiracles small and subcircular. Scutellum evenly subconvex and 

 basally carinate on either side ; postscutelluni stout. Abdomen 

 elongate and exactly parallel-sided from the postpetiole to the 

 exserted terebra ; gastrocoeli large, oblique, deeply impi-essed 

 and remote from base ; lunulse large, anus pale-marked, tei-ebra 

 reflexed and sometimes subvertical. Hind legs much longer 

 than the anterior. Areolet pentagonal, constricted above; nerve- 

 let waiiting ; basal nervure continuous through the median ; 

 nervellus intercepted far below its centre. 



'• The small, round metathoracic spiracles refer this genus to 

 the FJuEogenini. In Ashmead's ' Classification of the Ichneumon 

 Flies ' it would come in near Herpestomus. Characteristic 

 is the longj sha,rp pointed apical and indistinct subapical tooth 

 of the mandibles," says Cameron, in erecting this genus 

 (Entom. xxxvi. 1903, p. 260) on a single Indian individual.
