De Aar. According to his table it has the following characters :• — The 

 angle between the two faces of the epinotum effaced ; pubescence 

 as in the type of the species and cinctellus. Black ; 4*5-7 mm. 

 Pubescence on the abdomen brilliant golden. 



Eufoglaucus, race vestitus, Smith. 

 Cat. Hymen, B.M. VI, p. 32, ?, 1858. 



21., 7-7-10 mm. Head, thorax, legs, antennae and mandibles 

 varying from yellowish brick-red to dark brick-red, the vertex usually 

 with a transverse and very indistinct brownish-red patch between the 

 eyes. Abdomen dark brown, the colour hidden to a great extent by 

 the pubescence. Pilosity much shorter and less abundant than in 

 cinctellus. Legs dull, densely and finely pubescent. Pubescence on 

 the abdomen of a pale greyish-golden colour and arranged differently 

 from that of cinctellus, having the appearance of 6 longitudinal 

 alternatingly dark and light bands. This is due to the pubescence 

 of the 2nd and 3rd segments, and partly also of the other segments, 

 being arranged so that the hairs converge from the middle of the 

 right and left halves towards the middle longitudinal line, and in 

 being strongly undulate or transverse in direction ; whereas the 

 hairs on the outside of the middle of the right and left halves of 

 the segments are directed obliquely outwards and posteriorly. The 

 head is nearly one-sixth longer than wide, much less narrowed in front 

 or less triangular than in cinctellus, almost subquadrate, its greatest 

 width being only two-thirds wider than the anterior margin, whereas 

 the greatest width in cinctellus is tAvice as wide as the anterior margin ; 

 the sides are less convex than in cinctellus, and the posterior margin 

 much more shallowly concave. It is a more slender insect than 

 cinctellus, the thorax and abdomen clearly narrower. The convexity 

 of the thorax is lower, especially over the posterior half. The dorsum 

 of the epinotum, seen from the side, is slightly but distinctly concave 

 over the basal half and is longer than the oblique declivity, which it 

 joins in a low and continuous curve. In the concave base of the 

 epinotum it resembles C. valdeziae Forel, and differs thereby from 

 all the other forms of rufoglaucus in S. Africa. Tibiae compressed, 

 with 3 or 4 short setae on the ventral margin. 



$ minor, 7 mm. Colour, pubescence and sculpture as in the 21. 

 Head, including the closed mandibles, ovate, the sides convex behind 

 the eyes, rectilinear and convergent in front of them, the posterior 

 margin feebly convex. Excluding the mandibles, the head is about
