ones are placed, including the eyes, encircled by black pigment. 
The lateral margin is covered by a broad spot; the front margin 
by another and narrower, prolonged backwards between the central 
spot and the ocular one by an outwardly bent pointed spot. Just 
in front of the central spot there is a distinct pale one encircled 
by lilac. The first thoracic segment is mounted by a dorsal 
median transverse spot (pl. IV fig. 2 t), consisting of a rigth and 
a left part, connected with a median part half as broad as the 
lateral, and bent backwards. The second thoracic tergite and first 
abdominal ones are lilac and separated from each other by com- 
paratively broad yellowish stripes. The remaining dorsal part of 
the abdomen is lilac but darker behind with the exception of the 
indistinct yellowish stripe between the tergites and the distinct 
yellowish muscular 'spots. The sides and ventral side of the body 
are yellowish. The palps are more or less lilac. The first pair of 
legs is reddish blue with the exception of some few yellow spots. 
The three last pairs are more ore less coloured with the exception 
of the terminal parts of the distal joints, which are blue, chiefly in 
the fourth pair of legs. 
Measurement. The largest females measured 2,75 in length 
and 1=m in breadth, the smallest males 2,2 and 0,757», The 
length of the pseudocapitulum is 0,457", the length of the free 
part of the labrum 0,087", of the antennae 0,45, and of the palps 
0,70. Leg 1 is between 3,18—3,43. Leg 2 1,80—2,00. Leg 3 
1,60—1,98. Leg 4 3,60—3,29. 
Material and Locality. 1 have examined about 30 specimens, 
males and females, from Algeria Maima. Only four females had 
the ovipositor invaginated. 
Variation. Two specimens (8) from Bon Saada (Algeria) were 
a little different from the described species, but not in such a 
degree that I found it necessary to put them down as a new species. 
Only the first tergites of the abdomen are distinet. There is only 
one pointed hair between the sense hairs and the tip of the meta- 
tarsus in the fourth pair of legs. The distance between the median
