648 Annals of the South African Museum. 



Erect pilosity very sparse on the body and yellowish, absent from 

 the tibiae and scapes, which alone have a sparse and distinct 

 pubescence. Reddish brown; scapes brown, legs yellowish, abdomen 

 black, the margins of the segments bright yellow. 



§ minor. Head rectangular, longer, than wide, the posterior mar- 

 gin nearly straight or barely convex; the scapes extend beyond it 

 by about two-fifths of their length. Otherwise like the Of, but the 

 thorax and head are subopaque, somewhat reticulate, the abdomen 

 brown or partly rusty brown, the margins of the segments bright 

 yellow."

"Very much like the variety Schweinfurthi Forel, but the head of 

 the Qj. is less wide and the sides are less convex. The legs and 

 antennae are also darker, of a deep brown, the scapes black. In 

 addition, the pubescence in more distinct, although sparse on the 

 abdomen and limbs. The scale is a little thicker and the erect 

 pilosity is of a paler colour. The tibiae are also a little narrower 

 and more cylindrical." 



9\, 9 - 5 mm. Black, the thorax very dark brownish black, the 

 legs dark brown, paler only at the bases and apices of the femora 

 and tibiae. The apical margins of the abdominal segments testa- 

 ceous and translucent. Dull, the abdomen with a very faint glossi- 

 ness. The sculpture is similar to that of the type of the species, 

 but the abdomen is more densely rugulose. 



Head like that of the type of the species but the posterior margin 

 less concave, the sides in front of the eyes more convergent. The 

 dorsum of the epinotum is a trifle longer than the declivity, its 

 junction with the latter forming a wide but fairly distinct angle, 

 rounded at the apex. The scale is much narrower than in maculatus, 

 higher than long, twice as high as wide, subacuminate above, the 

 anterior face only very slightly convex. 



£ minor, 65-7 - 5 mm. Head longer than wide, slightly wider 

 behind than in front, the outline behind the eyes almost semi- 

 circular, the sides in front of the eyes straight and subparallel. 

 Scale of petiole a little narrower and thicker, otherwise like the Qj..
