chestnut markings on head. Head: length, *38 mm.; margin entire, with 
very shallow lateral depressions. Front rounded, with nine hairs on each side 
in front of the slight lateral depressions, one pair of which, arising just before 
the depression, is quite long. Mandibles prominent. Small chestnut ocular 
blotches, and two rather long hairs arising on the surface near these blotches. 
Other shorter hairs occur on the surface of the head, one arising from each of 
the prominent black ocular flecks. Temples rounded, bearing numerous hairs, 
three of which are particularly long. Occiput concave with two rounded chestnut 
blotches ; occipital bands faintly discernible in one specimen. Thorax: length, 
*36 mm.; width, *52 mm.; pro- and meta-thorax about equal. Lateral and 
posterior margins of prothorax rounded, with but slight lateral posterior angles ; 
a series of 18 stout spiny hairs on the lateral posterior margin, there being 
alternately a short one and then a long one. Metathorax with sides broadly 
diverging ; a series of hairs, alternating in size, across the posterior margin ; 
narrow lateral marginal bands. Legs with marginal bands on femur and tibia. 
Abdomen, elliptical ; last segment as wide as the metathorax, rounded ; series of 
hairs across each segment, alternating in size as on the thorax ; longer hairs in 
the posterior angles of the segments ; narrow marginal band on all except last 
segment with transverse blotches faint or lacking, at least on the dorsal surface, 
Menopon antennatum, sp. n. (PI. V, figs. 1, la, 10). 
Numerous specimens, both male and female, from the Guinea fowl (Numida 
mitrata), Azzar, near Bor, Egyptian Sudan (7. /7/. King). A small compact species 
with long slender antenne. Entire insect of a dark golden brown colour, with 
no special markings and well clothed with hairs. 
Frema.tr.—The sexes differ in size and shape of abdomen, that of the female 
being somewhat clongate and elliptical; length, 1°3 mm.; width, *68 mm. 
Head: length, *3 mm.; width, °42 mm.; uniform dark golden brown in colour, 
almost hemispherical in shape. Front rounded, with numerous long hairs as 
shown in the figure ; temples narrow, protruding, with angles rounded ; occiput 
concave with a narrow, darker marginal band ; many long hairs on the temples 
and on the surface of the head. Antenne long and slender (fig. 10); fourth

*22 mm.; width, 44 mm. Prothorax with the colour slightly lighter in the 
sentre ; sides rounded, continuous with the convexly rounded posterior margin, 
bearing a series of about 36 long hairs arising from small pustules. Metathorax 
appearing like the first segment of the abdomen; three short stout spines on the 
broadly diverging sides ; a series of long hairs on the posterior margin. Lees 
small, lighter in colour than rest of body. Abdomen: length, ‘8 mm. ; width, 
°68 mm. ; elliptical, almost uniform in colour, which is dark golden yellow ; long 
hairs on the lateral margins of each segment near the middle ; a series of from 
20 to over 40 long hairs across the middle of each segment ; eighth segment 
much wider than the others, with two rows of hairs; last segment ending in 
an angele.
