Zombrus rufus, sp. nov. 



Rufbus, the antennse, apical half of mandibles, bind 

 tarsi and terebra, black; wings fuscous, the nervures and 

 stigma from shortly behind the middle black, the rest of 

 the stigma ochraceous; the basal 2 abscissse of the radius 

 uüited about one quarter shorter than the 3 rd , which is 

 roundly curved upwards; the 2 nd cubital cellule twice longer 

 than wide; there is a hyaline cloud at the base of the stigma, 

 one along either side of the top of the recurrent nervure, 

 extending on to the apex of the basal abscissa of the radius, 

 and a narrower one on either side of the 2 nd transverse 

 cubital nervure. Antennse longer than the body, the apical 

 fourth brownish red, the scape thickly covered with stiff 

 black pubescence. $ 



Length 17 mm, terebra 5 mm. 



Delagoa Bay (Mrs. Rose Monteiro). 



Head smooth and shining, the face and oral region 

 closely, coarsely lcugitudinally rugosely punctured. Thorax 

 smooth; the raetanotum with a distinct furrow down the 

 centre, the furrow bordered by somewhat broad keels, and 

 there is a thinner, more irregulär one down its centre; 

 the part on either side of the furrow is irregularly reticulated, 

 the sides being smooth, impunctate. The basal abdominal 

 segment is strougly, closely, the 2 nd less strougly striated, 

 but with the central area more strongly than the rest, the 

 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th more finely longitudinally striated; the apex 

 of the 2 nd narrowly, of the 3 rd and 4 th more broadly and 

 the apical half of the 5 th smooth. The basal tooth on the 

 hind coxa3 is curved, stout and extends to the apex of the 

 coxse; the 2 nd tooth is a blunt, rounded tubercle. 



Allied to Z. nigripennis, Kriech., from the Cameroons.
