Nomia victoriella Cockerell 
Uganda; between Seziwe River and Kampala, 3500-3750 ft., 
Aug. 27-31, 1911 (S. A. Neave). A male differs from the type by 
having a large red spot at each side of first tergite, as sometimes 
occurs in N. stanleyi Ckll. A typical male N. victoriella is la- 
belled Uganda Prot., Entebbe (Forest), 3800 ft., July 5-11, 1911 
(S. A. Neave). 
Nomia serratula Smith 
Pondoland; Port St. John, male (R. E. Turner). 
Nomia polytricha sp. n. 
cf. Length 8 mm.; anterior wing 6.8; black, rather slender; 
mandibles black; antennae black, with the long flagellum very 
faintly brownish beneath; head and thorax with abundant 
grayish-white hair, not dense enough on mesonotum to hide the 
surface ; face (but not front) densely covered with coarse grayish- 
white hair; vertex dull; mesonotum dull, a little shining on disc; 
scutellum shining, small, prominent, unarmed; upper sides of 
metathorax polished; tegulae enlarged, with a very large black 
boss, and a broad posterior lobe, which is pallid but inconspicu- 
ous; wings long, dusky hyaline, the apical area brownish; stigma 
large, reddish brown, nervures pallid; lower section of basal 
nervure nearly straight, except that it is abruptly bent at lower 
end, meeting nervulus; second submarginal cell large and square, 
receiving recurrent nervure near the middle; legs slender and 
simple, with much pale hair, small joints of tarsi more or less 
reddened; abdomen with first and second tergites shining, the 
punctures very small; tergites with dull white hair-bands, on 
first confined to sides, on second broadly interrupted ; no red hair 
at apex; fourth sternite with a large patch of pale reddish hair. 
British East Africa; Kabeta, 6000 ft., April 11, 1918 (T. J. 
Anderson) . 
In my table this falls near N. kampalana Ckll., but the abdomen 
is narrower at base being subclaviform, and the dark tarsi and 
abdominal characters are distinctive. In Strand’s table it runs 
out near N. parca Kohl. N . kampalana is also considerably 
smaller.
