the base of the areola finely, closely punctured. Pleurae finely closely 
punctured, the metapleurae more strongly and closely than the rest, The 
second abdominal segment is closely striated. 
Androna basiornata , sp. n. 
Pale yellow ; the flagellum of the antennae, except at the base, where 
it is fuscous, the tips of mandibles, stemmaticum, the lower part of the 
occiput, a line on the sides of the mesonotum, continued down the sides 
and round the apex of the scutellum, continued broadly down the centre 
of the basal three-fourths of the metanotum, the apex of the latter line 
being acutely pointed, the basal third of the first segment of the abdomen, 
a line, one-third of the width of the segment, down the basal two-thirds 
of the second, a semicircular mark on the base of the third, and larger, 
more irregular marks on the others, black. The base of the legs pale, the 
rest coloured like the body, except the base of the hind tibiae narrowly, 
the apex more broadly and the tarsi fuscous. Wings hyaline, the stigma 
and nervures fuscous. Male. 
Length, 5 mm. ; terebra, 4 mm. 
Pretoria. January. 
The yellow on the face and occiput runs into rufous ; the mesonotum 
is rufous except in the centre of the apical half ; the abdomen is for the 
greater part rufous. The amount of the rufous colour probably varies 
and may indeed be a discolouration. 
The male has no black round the scutellum, the line on the metanotum 
is shorter and of equal width, not sharply pointed at the apex, and the 
abdominal black marks are smaller. 
Length, 7 mm. ; ovipositor, 2 mm. 
Pretoria. February. 
Covered with a short white pile, the head and thorax closely, dis- 
tinctly punctured, except for a smooth band over the mesopleural depres- 
sion ; the metathorax is more coarsely punctured than the rest ; the top 
of the areola is smooth, the rest of it and the posterior median area less 
closely, rather strongly transversely striated. Abdomen smooth, the 
second segment longitudinally aciculated, almost striated on the apical 
half. The antennae are stout, of equal thickness and are as long as the 
head, thorax, and basal segment of the abdomen united. The areola is 
long, narrow, and of equal width. 
Androna flavo-orbitalis, sp. n. 
Pufous ; the inner orbits broadly pale yellow, the antennae, . meta- 
thorax, the first abdominal segment, a broad line down the sides of the 
back of the second segment, the back of the fourth, the whole of the follow- 
ing segments, the hind coxae, trochanters, and the base of the hind tibiae, 
black ; wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures black ; the recurrent 
nervure is almost interstitial and is received outside the transverse cubital ; 
it is largely bullated in front ; the transverse median nervure is interstitial ; 
the apical nervures in the hind wings are very faint, almost obliterated. 
Metanotum completely areolated ; the areola three times longer than 
wide, the basal half obliquely narrowed to a sharp point at the base ; its 
apical half and the posterior median area are closely, transversely striated ;
