and prominent (larger than in lujae or durbanensis) . The teeth in 

 front of the eyes and at the anterior corners of the clypeus are fairly 

 prominent. The denticulations of the lateral margins of the thorax 

 are fairly large and acute. The tooth on each side of the mesonotum 

 small, that on the sides of the epinotum almost obsolete. Thorax 

 narrowed between the meso- and epinotum. Epinotal spines much 

 more divergent than in durbanensis and lujae, nearly three times 

 longer than their basal width, almost twice as long as the interval 

 between their bases, fairly acute at the apex. The lower anterior 

 angle of the mesosternum is only bluntly angular, not spinose as in 

 viicans and its race durbanensis. First node cuboid, a little higher 

 and wider in front than behind, the anterior face feebly concave 

 transversely. Second node trapezoidal, widest in front, slightly wider 

 than the 1st, the anterior lateral angles rounded. Abdomen very 

 shallowly emarginate at the base, the sides convex. 



9 • 5 mm. (hitherto undescribed) . Head finely and longitudinally 

 rugose, with a few transverse strands, most of which are short and do 

 not meet the rugae on either side. The sculpture of the thorax is 

 similar to that of lujae but stronger. The head is much more 

 narrowed in front of the eyes than in lujae or durbanensis, and the 

 teeth at the anterior lateral angles of the clypeus are much larger and 

 more prominent. The epinotal spines are much longer than in those 

 two species, more divergent, and nearly twice as long as their basal 

 width. The 1st node is a little longer than wide in front, not much 

 wider in front than behind. Second node less convex than in lujae, 

 more convex than in' durbanensis. The emargination at the base of 

 the abdomen has the angles on each side of it widely rounded, not 

 obtusely rectangular as in lujae. The abdomen is closely and finely 

 reticulate, slightly shining, feebly and longitudinally striate, two- 

 thirds longer than wide, the sides parallel. Wings hyaline, the 

 nervures pale yellow. Otherwise like the ^ .
