8. Genus RHYNCHEXETASTES, Cameron 



Rhynchexetastes. Cameron, Ann. S. Afric. AIus. WA. 5, p. 102 (1906). 



Allgemeine Charaktere. — « Labrum large, longer than the clypeus, malar space distinct, 

 as long as the antennal scape; the mandibles long, projecting downwards, their apices meeting in the 

 middle of the labrum, enclosing the labium; they end in two broad teeth. Trophi elongated; the 

 maxilliiB as long as the face and clypeus united. Occiput transverse, margined. Temples obliquely 

 narrowed. Parapsidal furrows absent. Metanotum neither areolated nor keeled; the spiracles linear. 

 First abdominal segment as long as the following two united; it becomes gradualh' widened towards 

 the apex; the second is longer than its width at the apex; the third is square. Areolet shortl}' appendi- 

 culated; the disco-cubital nervure distinctly broken by a stump of a nervure; the transverse median is 

 interstitial. Transverse median nervure in hind wings broken near the top. Third antennal joint as long 

 as the following two united. Front with a keel between the antennae. 



)) The abdomen is smooth and shining; it is thickened towards the apex; the sheaths of the 

 ovipositor are broad and as long as the apical two segments united. Hind legs long ; the coxse thickened, 

 long; apices of tarsal joints spinose; the claws simple. The wings are uniformly fuscous violaceous. 



» The affinities of this species are with Exetastes. from which it may be known by the elongated 

 trophi, fuscous violaceous wings, and l)v the disco cubital nervure being distinctly broken. The elon- 

 gated trophi allies it to the American genera Agailiilhi W'estwood and Agathobaticlius .Ashmead, but these 

 have the trophi much more lengthened. 



» As I have said, the affinities of this genus are with Exetastes rather than with Banchus. Probably 

 its nearest known ally is Semuophrys Förster; it ma}' be known from the present genus by its very 

 broad head and by there being a horn between the antennte. »
