tilla and hâve transferred it to the subgenus Trogaspidia where we 

 believe it belongs. Its scutellum is stronglygibbous and surmounted 

 with a longitudinal, raised keel as in Trogaspidia, and quite as pro- 

 minent, if not more, as in some cther species of that subgenus, such 

 as ligulifera Bischoff. Nor do we find other characters which would 

 ally it with the species of Glossotilla rather than with those of Trogas- 

 pidia.

This species differs markedly from prolongata in the shape of the 

 clypeus and the ridges of the last sternites. The smooth disk of the 

 clypeus terminâtes anteriorly in a low, transverse, squarely truncate 

 lamella. Seventh sternite with short and feeble, slightly oblique, 

 latéral ridges; those on the eighth much longer, strongly curved in- 

 wardly toward the middle of the segment, so as to almost meet in the 

 center. Scutellum gibbosely carinate, as in prolongata, so that this 

 species too properly belongs in the subgenus Trogaspidia. 



Smicromyrme (Trogaspidia) mufungwensis (Bischoff). 



The unique maie type of this species is before us. Bischoff remarks 

 that its mouth-parts are dirty, so that he was unable to describe the 

 form of the clypeus. Contriving to clean them, we discovered the pré- 

 sence of an elevated, transverse tooth unsuspected by Bischoff and 

 which removes it from where he had placed it to the section of the 

 genus which comprises prolongata Bischoff and odontostoma Bischoff. 



Smicromyrme (Trogaspidia) kachiobweana (Bischoff). 



In the maie type and another maie from Kalembe-lembe, Belgian 

 Congo (R. Mayné), wich we hâve compared with it, the anterior 

 portion of the clypeus has a sloping, transverse, depressed basin,
