It may also be confused with capensis, from which, however, it differs in having the preapical foveate depressions on abdomen above comparatively smaller and situated more transversely, the dorsum between these not markedly longitudinally ridge-like as in capensis; puncturation on sides of tergites 2 and 3 dis- tinctly denser and that on basal half at least more subscabrous and that on sides of tergites 4-6 apparently finer and more scabrous; black fascia across apical parts of tergites on sides also more extensive and more conspicuous; upper part of mesopleuron also darker; and according to Malloch even the femora of some specimens are darkened. Hypopygium of $ (text-fig. 12) differs from that ofcapensis in having slightly shorter and less conspicuous hairs on basal part and in having the outer apical angles of basal part more distinctly rounded. Type of $ in the Rhodesian Museum, paratype in the Transvaal Museum. Length of body: about 5-9 mm. Length of wing: about 4^-6 mm. Locality: Southern Rhodesia: Redbank (Stevenson, 1 Sept. 1926) (type); Mulungwane Mts. (12 Sept. 1924) (after Malloch). North Transvaal: North- east Zoutpansberg (Breyer, 7 Aug. 1916).. Text-fig. 12.
