Niger; mandibulis, scapo, tibiis anticis, tarsisque pallide flavis ; flagello, tibiisque intermediis posticisque basi brunneo-flavis; alis hyalinis, iridesceirtibus, venis pallidis, stigmate fusco- 2*7 mm. <$. Clypeus subcarinate longitudinally, triangularly pro-duced and almost pointed at the apex. First joint offlagellum longer than the second and third combined ; joints2-5 broader than long, thence gradually lengthening andbecoming thicker to the apex. Front flat, obliquely slopedfrom a little below the anterior ocellus ; posterior ocelli. Protostigmiis championi, sp. n. nearer to the hind margin of the head than to each other, butnearer to each other than to the eyes. Head, thorax, andabdomen smooth and shining; median segment opaque, veryfinely granulate, subcarinate longitudinally in the middle,much broader than long, narrowed to the apex, the sides andthe apical slope almost smooth, shining, the latter with amedian sulcus. Hub. Kairouan, Tunisia (G. C. Champion), May 3, 1913. This genus is very distinct in the shortened radial cell andpetiolated second cubital cell from Stigmus and other relatedgenera, but is to be placed in the same subfamily. Exceptfor the neuration it is very near Ammoplanus. 358 Mr. U. E. Turner on Fossorial Hymmoptera. Spilomena indostana, sp. n. 2 .
