Some New Genera and Species of Hymenoptera: 229 



The third transverse cubital cellule is triangular, the nervures 

 uniting in front ; the upper half of the third transverse cubital 

 nervure is obliquely bent ; the first recurrent nervure is received not 

 far from the apex, the second in the middle of the cellule ; the trans- 

 verse median nervure received very shortly beyond the transverse 

 basal, almost interstitial ; accessory nervure in hind wings received 

 beyond the cubitus. Covered with a fulvous, pale pile ; the antennal 

 scape, sides and front of head, and, to a less extent, the top of the 

 thorax with long fuscous hair. Mandibles, except at apex and the 

 apical half of labrum, rufous. Palpi testaceous, darker at the base. 

 Apex of clypeus transverse, the sides roundly oblique. Eyes slightly 

 incised above the middle. Hind ocelli separated from the eyes by a 

 slightly less distance than they are from each other. Occiput trans- 

 verse. Temples almost obsolete above. Prothorax large, obliquely 

 dilated from the middle to the tegulae. Apex of metanotum with an 

 oblique, straight slope, and thickly covered with longish blackish 

 hair. Abdomen with broad, pruinose bands, the apical segment 

 white above. Tarsal and tibial spines long and black ; the long spur 

 of hind tibiae two-thirds of the length of the metatarsus. The 

 antennal joints roundly dilated below. Tegulae fulvous. The first 

 and second joints of flagellum equal in length. 

 This is an Anoplius as now limited. 



ANOPLIUS ? PULCHRIHIRTUS, Sp. nOV. 



Dark ferruginous, the greater part of the pleurae, metanotum, a 

 line above each antennae, a mark on the ocelli, obliquely narrowed 

 behind and incised in front, black ; a line on the hinder edge of the 

 pronotum and on the base of the second and third abdominal seg- 

 ments, pale lemon-yellow. Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with 

 fulvous, the apex smoky ; the stigma testaceous. 2 • 



Length 9 mm. 



Cape Colony. Stellenbosch. 



Eyes distinctly converging above ; the hinder ocelli separated from 

 each other by a distinctly greater distance than they are from the 

 eyes. Apex of clypeus broadly rounded. Third joint of antennae 

 not quite so long as the following two united. Apex of pronotum 

 broadly rounded, with a narrow furrow in the middle. Metanotum 

 covered with purple -coppery coloured depressed pubescence, as are 

 probably also, in fresh examples, all the pleurae. The spines on the 

 legs are long and coloured like them ; those on the fore tarsi are 

 much longer ; the under side of the posterior spinose ; the claws 

 bifid. Third abscissa of radius half the length of the second ; trans- 

 verse basal nervure interstitial ; the recurrent nervures are received
