Paniscus natalensis, sp. n. 
Rufo-ferruginous ; the antennae blackish, the scape and base of 
flagellum ferruginous ; wings hyaline, the costa and stigma sordid tes- 
taceous, the nervures black, the disco-cubital nervure broken by a distinct 
stump ; the second transverse cubital nervure largely bullated behind ; 
the recurrent nervure roundly curved outwardly between the bullae ; the 
disco-cubital nervure broken by a distinct stump ; the transverse cubital 
nervure in the hind wings is broken close to the bottom of the anterior 
fourth. Scutellum not very strongly keeled to near the apex. Metanotum 
closely, distinctly, transversely striated ; a shallow, narrow longitudinal 
furrow down the centre of the basal half. The first abdominal segment 
is twice the length of the second ; its apex is finely closely punctured ; 
the ventral surface and apical segments are spotted with fuscous. Female. 
Length, 14 mm. 
Colenso, Natal. 
The face, clypeus, and orbits are tinged with yellow. Face and clypeus 
closely punctured, the latter more strongly than the former, and separated 
from it, but not very distinctly. Apex of mandibles broadly black ; 
Ocelli not in a black patch, the hinder clearly separated from the eyes. 
Tarsi closely spinose. Calcaria and comb black. Parapsidal furrows 
shallow but distinct. 
This species is stouter than melanocotis, from which it may be known 
by the blackish, not rufous, flagellum of the antennae, by the more deeply 
tinted ferruginous colour, which is not tinged with yellow, by the recurrent 
nervure being only roundly curved in front, while in melanocotis the curve 
extends from the top to bottom ; in it, too, the transverse cubital nervure 
in the hind wings is broken at the bottom of the top third, in the present 
species at the top fourth. 
Paniscus nigroeandis, sp. n. 
Rufo-ferruginous ; the flagellum of the antennae, the apex of man- 
dibles, a spot in the hollow behind the tegulae and the sixth and following 
segments of the abdomen, black ; wings hyaline, the costa fuscous, the 
stigma pale testaceous, the nervures black, the disco-cubital nervure 
broadly rounded, unbroken, the recurrent nervure broadly rounded, the 
transverse cubital nervure in hind wing broken at the bottom of the fore 
fourth. The hind ocelli touch the eyes ; they are not in a black patch ; 
the orbits are pale yellow. Scutellum distinctly keeled to the apex. Meta- 
notum closely transversely striated, more strongly in the centre than on 
the sides. Face and clypeus closely punctured, the former raised in the 
middle ; the latter bounded above at the sides by a short distinct furrow. 
First abdominal segment not twice the length of the second ; the abdomen 
is fully twice longer than the head and thorax united. Male. 
Length, 11 mm. 
Kranspoort (Pretoria District). December. 
Tibiae and tarsi closely spinose. The eye orbits are pale yellow. The 
parapsidal furrows are not indicated.
