the whole of the lateral, black; wings fuscous, the nervures 

 and costa black; there is a broad hyaline cloud on the 

 base and lower part of the l st cubital cellule, one occupying 

 the greater part of the costal cellule, one along the front 

 and apex of the discoidal cellule and a large one, narrowed 

 in front, on the outerside of the recurrent nervure; the base 

 of the hind wings is lighter coloured than the apex and 

 there is a moderately wide cloud of equal width beyond 

 the middle; the apical abscissa of the radius is almost 

 twice the length of the basal two united; the 2 Dd cubital 

 cellule is of equal width and is not one fourth longer than 

 wide. The basal spine on the hind coxae is long, curved 

 and sharppointed; the 2 nd is short, but distinct, thick at the 

 base, becoming gradually narrowed towards the apex. Meta- 

 notum closely irregularly reticulated and with a keel down 

 the middle. $ 



Length 15 mm; terebra 7 mm. 



Cape Colony (Krebs). 



Antennal scape thickly covered with stiff black hair. 

 Front, vertex and temples smooth and shiuing, the face and 

 oral region rather coarsely, closely punctured; on the clypeus 

 is a fringe of loog white hair; there is a short, black keel 

 between the antennse. Palpi blackish fuscous, covered with 

 pale hair. The central furrow on the propleurse, the broad, 

 shallow curved one at the base of the mesopleurse, that on 

 the apex and the sternal one are all distinct and crenulated. 

 The abdominal striation as in the preceding species. 



Zombrus nigripes, sp. nov. 

 Rufous; the antennse, the head except the oral regiou, 

 the pro- and mesothorax except the scutellum, a broad line 

 on the outer edge of the mesosternum and the legs, except 

 the hind coxse, black; the fore coxse are obscured with 

 rufous; the basal tooth on the hind coxse longish, curved; 

 the apical short, stout, slightly longer than it is wide at the 

 base. Wings uniformly fuscous violaceous, the nervures 

 and stigma black; the latter narrowly ochraceous at 

 the base; the apical abscissa of radius not twice the length 

 of the basal two united; the 2 nd cubital cellule narrowed
