PERILAMPIDAE. 
Perilampus, Latr. 
Perilampus testaceitarsis, sp. n. 
Black, shining ; the flagellum of the antennae rufous, the tarsi tes- 
taceous, black at the apex ; wings hyaline, the nervures testaceous. Head, 
shining, the* hinder part of the vertex and the occiput transversely striated 
distinctly, but not very closely. Pro- and mesonotum umbilicafly punctate, 
the apex of the latter more strongly than the rest ; the scutellum is still 
more strongly umbilically punctate. Pleurae smooth and shining, the 
raised apex of the propleurae coarsely reticulated. Metanotum smooth 
and shining, bare, a crenulated furrow at the base ; a furrow, widened 
above, down the centre ; there is a keel down its middle with two trans- 
verse keels on either side of the centre. 
Length, 5 mm. Female. 
Pretoria. September. 
The scutellum has the sides and apex margined, the latter more 
strongly than the former, and with the centre narrowly transverse. The 
mandibles are of a darker red than the antennae ; their teeth black. 
The fore tibiae are red at the base and apex in front ; the hind femora 
have a bluish tint. 
Chalcis, F. sec. 
Chalcis tmnsvaalensis, sp. n. 
Black ; the legs bright red, the base of the four anterior coxae and 
the femoral teeth black ; the apex of the anterior femora broadly, of the 
middle more narrowly, a spot on the apex of the posterior, the base and 
apex of the four anterior tibiae, a band near the base of the hinder and a 
broader one on the apex, white ; the lower part of the antennal scape 
obscure red. Wings hyaline, the nervures black. Tegulae white. Femoral 
teeth ten in number, the basal two small and close together. Female. 
Length, 4 mm. 
Head strongly punctured, the vertex behind the ocelli umbilically so ; 
the sides at the depression weakly, the face and clypeus strongly, 
irregularly punctured. Thorax above, with the scutellum umbilically 
punctate ; the metanotum coarsely reticulated. Abdomen smooth, the 
apical segments fringed with white pubescence. Female. 
Length, 4 mm. 
Bred. 
Propleurae aciculated, the mesopleurae smooth, the lower part and 
the sternum reticulated ; there are five distinct foveae bordering the 
lower half of the base. Metapleurae reticulated like the metanotum except 
for an aciculated space at the base above. The malar space margined 
on the inner side. There is no clearly defined areola on the metanotum ; 
the centre is without an areola and is bordered by two oblique keels, 
forming longish areae. The apical lobes of the scutellum are short, broadly 
rounded and hollowed. Sides of metanotum broadly rounded, untoothed.
