. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history; Natuurlijke historie; Sociale geschiedenis; Culturele antropologie. Pig. 13.—Eumenes maxillosus (de Geer). A, first tergite of female from above ; B, first tergite of male from above ; C, male genitalia in profile, outer view ; D, penis from above ; E, terminal segments of male antenna, where its width is variable, usually about one-third of the total length of the segment; the second sternite is more or less depressed in the centre, often quite deeply so, especially in large specimens ; sometimes, however, the sternite is just barely flattened, and this is the usual condition in the var. fenestralis, which is the smallest of all the colour phases of maxillosus ; the anterior margin of the clypeus is, as a rule, quite straight or faintly curved, either inwardly or outwardly ; hind tarsi relatively slender, much longer than hind femur and trochanter. Almost all these characters hold in the male, which, in addition, may be recognised by the peculiar hook of the antennae : it is very long and thick, curved and somewhat contracted beyond the base, the terminal half distinctly swollen in profile and widened seen from above ; it ends in a sharp, strongly bent apex, which reaches the base of the tenth antennal segment; it rests there in a broad and deep excavation at the under side of the segment; the eyes are about equally far.
