$. Black, densely covered with longish white pubescence, the flagellum of antennae rufous, darker 

 towards the apex, the legs, except the coxae and trochanters, of a . brighter red, the f emora darker behind ; 

 wings hyaline, the Stigma and nervures blackish. Tegulae dark rufous, the flattened apical part whitish. Apical 

 half of mandibles dark piceous. Ventral surface rufous, brighter coloured on the sides. L. 7 mm. 



Front and vertex closely and rather strongly punctured, covered somewhat thickly with longish grey 

 hair, that on the front being the longer. Face and clypeus much more thickly covered with whitish pubescence. 

 Labrum rufous, smooth, a minute depression in the centre above. Mesonotum and scutellum finely, closely 

 punctured, and with larger, deeper, scattered punctures; the punctures on the scutellum are larger and deeper. 

 Postscutellum thickly covered with grey, longish pubescence. Basal area and metanotum smooth and shining; 

 the rest bearing deep, round, clearly separated punctures. Propleurae closely, strongly striated. Mesopleurae 

 strongly punctured, the meta- not so closely nor so strongly. Legs thickly covered with long white hair; the 

 hind tibiae and base of tarsi stout. The apices of the abdominal segments are smooth; the base of the middle 

 ones depressed and thickly covered with a white pile. Apex of wings slightly smoky. 



Morice (Results of the Swedish Zool. Expedition to Egypt and the White Nile, 1901, No. 14, Hymen, 

 aculeata p. 6), describes the male of what he supposes to be N. tegulata Sm. It has the scutellum as in the 

 species I have described, and, otherwise, appears to be closely related. In tegulata (male) teste Morice, 1. c, joints 

 4 to 12 are „about as long as broad" and joints 3 — 13 are „little longer than the others": in my species they 

 are clearly longer than broad, and the 3rd is about equal in length with the 4th; the last is slightly but distinctly 

 longer than the 12Ü1.

$. Scutellum laterally at the apex projecting into a stout spine, which is nearly as long as the scutellum, 

 originates from the base and becomes narrowed towards the apex, which is bluntly rounded. Thorax and
