(Hym.) 



By P. Cameron. 



1. Ceratojoppa cornuta sp. nov. 



Areolet 4-angled, the transverse cubital nervures meeting 

 in front; the transverse median nervure interstitial ; the 

 disco- cubital uervure uubroken. Head wider thau the thorax ; 

 the temples wide, roundly dilated; the occiput sharply margiued. 

 Malar space long. Apex of clypeus rouuded ; the base of the 

 elypeus is not separated from the face. Labrum projecting. 

 Autennae long, serrate towards the apex ; broadly ringed 

 with white. Mesouotum trilobate ; the middle lobe raised, 

 bordered by an irregularly creuulated fnrrow. Scutellum large, 

 not raised above the mesonotum, its sides and apex bordered 

 above by a prominent, raised keel, in the shape of a horse- 

 shoe ; the apex has a vertical slope ; the post-scutellum is 

 placed considerably below its top ; it is bordered by 2 stout 

 keels which meet at the apex. Metanotum rugosely longi- 

 tudinale reticulated, except at the base, where there is a 

 smooth, bilobate space bordered by a keel behiud and at 

 the sides ; the spiracular région is smooth and bordered by a 

 keel on the outerside. First abdominal segment, long, slender, 

 the post-petiole not much dilated, the spiracles prominent. 

 Gastrocoeli deep ; their apex dilated inwardly ; the basai part 

 narrow ; they are widely separated ; the basai segments are 

 closely, but not strongly punctured. Front with 2 horuy 

 projections and 2 keels. 



The trilobate mosonotum (a'.most as in the Cryptinae), 

 and non areolated metanotum, the 4 horny processes on the 

 front readily distinguish this genus from any thiug described. 

 The basai segments of the abdomen are closely puuctured. 



2. Ceratojoppa cornuta sp. nov. <j\ 



Fulvo-testaceous, the eye orbits, face and clypeus distinctly 

 ynllow ; the pro- and mesopleurae less clearly tinged with 

 yollow ; the legs similarly coloured ; the bind tibiae behiud 

 and the hiud tarsi, black. Wings hyaline, the stigma testa- 

 ceous, the nervures black. — Length 14 mm.
