cJ, 7-5-8 mm. (hitherto und escribed). Head, pro-niesonotum and 

 scutellum reddish ochreous ; epinotum, petiole and 1st segment of the 

 abdomen, the femora and flagellum dirty ochreous, the rest of the 

 abdomen, the tibiae, tarsi and scapes more or less yellowish brown. 

 Sides of epinotum, petiole and abdomen with a long, erect and pale 

 brownish pilosity, fairly abundant, the rest of the body with only 

 a hair here and there. Abdomen and legs with a sparse, decumbent 

 pubescence. Head, pro-mesonotum and scutellum reticulate-punctate 

 and dull, the rest of the body superficially rugulose and shining. 

 Head rather long, clearly longer than wide across the eyes, the posterior 

 two-thirds, seen from above, trapezoidal, the posterior margin narrow 

 and straight, the sides in front of the eyes parallel. Scapes long, 

 extending beyond the hind margin by two-thirds of their length. The 

 dorsal profile of the epinotum forms a low and continuous convexity. 

 The scale is wider above than below, the anterior and somewhat 

 oblique face subquadrate and flat, the posterior face convex from side 

 to side and vertically, the summit shallowly emarginate in the middle. 

 Wings tinged with yellowish brown, nervures and stigma pale brown. 



Nesting under the bark of a rotten tree, Stella Bush, Durban. The 

 larvae and $£ of Cremastog aster tricolor, var. durbanensis ForeL were 

 foimd in the same spot without any distinct boundaries between the 

 nests of the two species. The latter did not attack each other when 

 the nests were disturbed.

"Like Grandidieri, but as much as 9 mm. long. The large pits 

 on the head very close, becoming almost a reticulation on the cheeks. 

 The whole body with a long, strong and bright golden pubescence, 

 which, although it allows the sculpture to be seen through it, is 

 nevertheless much longer and more abundant than in Grandidieri. 

 Black ; antennae, mandibles and anterior margin of the head dark 

 red. The coarse pits on the head disappear at its posterior end. The 

 middle of the nitidulous and very sparsely punctured abdomen has a 

 glabrous longitudinal line which is impunctate."
