Some New Genera and Species of Hymenoptera. 255 



abdominal segments on the apex broadly banded with depressed pale 

 fulvous pubescence ; clypeus black ; the sides, apex, and a stripe in 

 the centre, which becomes gradually wider towards the apex, fulvo- 

 testaceous, the labrum similarly coloured except for a black line at 

 the base, this line being dilated at the sides ; on the apex of the face, 

 in the centre, is a transverse line, which is dilated upwards in the 

 middle. Legs brownish, the tibiae and tarsi black in front ; the hair 

 dense and cinereous, on the tarsi behind rufous. Wings short, 

 hyaline, the nervures and stigma black. ? . 



Length 10 mm. 



Cape Colony. 



Front and vertex closely, irregularly punctured, the ocellar region 

 and a broad stripe along the sides of it smooth. Clypeus strongly 

 and closely punctured, except along the central stripe where the 

 punctuation is sparse. Labrum closely and strongly punctured, its 

 apex smooth, black and slightly incised in the centre. Metanotal 

 area aciculated. The basal half of the abdominal segments thickly 

 covered with short, black depressed hair ; the penultimate segment 

 with a large triangular spot of black pubescence in the centre ; the 

 pygidial area dark brown, minutely, closely punctured. Ventral 

 surface closely punctured, with the apical third of the segments 

 brownish, the extreme apices lead-coloured. 



The pubescence on the abdomen is shorter and more depressed 

 than it is in the other African species known to me. The two large 

 black marks on the clypeus are rounded and narrowed at the apex. 

 Tegulae piceous. Calcaria dark testaceous. The second cubital 

 cellule is much narrowed in front, not half its width behind, being 

 the length of the space bounded by the recurrent and second trans- 

 verse cubital nervures and not half the length of the third in front ; 

 the third is narrower in front than behind, through the third trans- 

 verse cubital nervure bending obliquely in front towards the base of 

 the cellule. 



Col. Bingham informs me that this species is not in the British 

 Museum Collection.

Black ; a transverse mark, transverse in front, rounded behind, on 

 the apex of the clypeus ; the hair on the head and thorax long, 

 dense and cinereous, on the apices of the abdominal segments 

 bright fulvous, as it is also on the under side of the legs ; the 

 last joint of the tarsi rufous ; anal rima black bare ; wings
