Ceeceeis nobilitata, sp. nov. 



Black; the face, clypeus, the lower half of the inner eye orbits, 

 the base of mandibles broadly, greater part of antennal scape, basal 

 half of tegulae (the hinder rufous), a large mark, rounded laterally on 

 the base, of second segment in the centre, a band on the apex of the 

 third, narrowed in the middle, extending to the base on the sides, 

 and a broad mark on the apical half of the fifth and the sides of the 

 third ventral segment broadly, yellow ; the first and the sides of the 

 second segment rufous ; legs red ; the outer side of the tibiae and 

 the base of the tarsi whitish yellow ; the inner side of the hind tibiae 

 and the apical joints of the hind tarsi fuscous ; wings hyaline, the 

 apex smoky ; the stigma and nervures black. 5 .

Dunbrody. Cape Colony. 



Front and vertex closely and strongly punctured, the former with 

 a distinct keel. Face and clypeus less closely punctured ; the apex 

 of the latter broadly rounded. Hind ocelli separated from each 

 other by a distinctly less distance than they are from the eyes. 

 Thorax strongly, the pleurae more coarsely, closely rugosely punc- 

 tured. Metanotal area smooth and shining, indistinctly furrowed in 

 the middle. First abdominal segment sparsely, indistinctly punc- 

 tured; the others closely and strongly punctured; pygidium opaque, 

 narrowed towards the base and apex, opaque, granular, coarsely at 

 the base, finely at the apex, which is rounded ; epipygium with two 

 curved keels on the apex. The flagellum of antennae brownish, 

 darker above ; the scape for the greater part yellow ; the third joint 

 distinctly, but not much, longer than the fourth. 



Ceeceeis spinicaudata, sp. nov. 



Black ; the clypeus except at the apex, face, the inner orbits 

 broadly half-way to the ocelli, basal half of mandibles, under side of 

 scape, outer half of tegulae, the greater part of the four front femora, 

 the four front tibiae and tarsi and the outer side of the hind tibiae 

 posteriorly, clear yellow. Wings hyaline, the apex slightly smoky ; 

 the stigma and nervures black. ? .

Metanotal area closely aciculated ; a narrow crenulated furrow 

 down the centre ; the bordering furrows are also crenulated. Front 

 and vertex rugosely punctured ; a narrow furrow on the centre of 

 the former ; the antennal keel large, black, yellow above. Face and 

 clypeus strongly, but not so closely punctured as the front ; the apex 

 of clypeus transverse, black ; the sides rounded. Mandibles yellow,
