The Genus Eumenes, Latreille, in South Africa. 515 than wide, with a fine, longitudinal, impressed line over the anterior two-thirds. Scutellum quite uniformly swollen and almost entirely comprised in the dorsal face of the thorax ; with a median, longi- tudinal line, which is slightly raised in the anterior half. Post- scutellum hardly convex and entirely within the posterior slope of the thorax, without any trace of median line. Propodeum short seen from above, moderately convex, completely rounded off, without ridges or projecting angles ; the median groove broad and shallow, deeper above the insertion of the abdomen, effaced behind the post- scutellum. Mesopleura without carinae or ridges along the epicnemial. Fig. 6.—Eumenes lucasius, H. de Saussure. A, female in profile ; B, first tergite of female from above ; C, terminal segments of male antenna. depressions for the fore and middle legs. Legs normal, slender. Venation of wings of the usual Eumenes type. First abdominal seg- ment long and slender, about as long as the thorax in profile, about four times as long as its greatest width seen from above ; in profile distinctly, but quite gently curved, slightly and quite gradually swollen toward the apical half ; seen from above the tergite widens quite gradually from the base to near the middle, where the spiracles are slightly protuberant; the posterior half is nearly parallel-sided, though the segment is slightly wider at the apex ; the dorsal surface is distinctly flattened, especially in the posterior half, which bears a shallow, longitudinal groove, increasing in depth to before the apex. Second segment bell-shaped, but moderately swollen, not much more convex dorsally than ventrally, very slightly compressed ; about as high as long in profile, distinctly longer than wide seen from above ; basal
