Colour:—Head bright yellow shading to orange at apex of clypeus and on labium; eyes grey-black; a broad shining brownish-black percurrent stripe down middle of vertex, extending slightly round anterior margin of head to frons, and much broader anteriorly than posteriorly. Pronotum shining black with a trace of whitish pruinosity giving a bluish sheen; a narrow transverse yellow band along anterior margin behind each eye, extending outwardly to and along lateral margins, a pair of narrow arcuate whitish spots on anterior disc between eyes and almost meeting in middle line, an impressed whitish spot on each side beyond outer end of arcuate spot and fusing externally with the yellow lateral border, and a large obscure yellowish rounded spot in each of the basal lateral angles. Propleura yellow. Scutellum shining black, covered with whitish pruinosity over impressed region of disc, giving a bluish sheen. Meso- and meta-pleura yellow shading to dark brown towards acetabula, the meso- and meta-sterna dark brown. Tegmina semi-hyaline, sometimes powdered with white pruinosity, which gives them a bluish sheen; the suprabrachial area and the first, third and fourth apical areas slightly infumate, the remainder infuscate; the costal plaque dark brown, veins brown. Wings hyaline, somewhat infumate, the veins (except cross-vein between second and third longitudinal veins) brown. Legs pale yellow, the anterior tibiae and tarsi and the intermediate tarsi infuscate. Abdomen entirely black, with very fine white pruinosity giving a bluish sheen.

A New Species

The Afrotropical species of the genus Pediobius (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) characterized by extreme setation on the dorsal mesosoma are reviewed and grouped into a newly proposed setigerus group. This group is characterized by the broad attachment of the third funicular and first claval segments, so that the funicle is functionally 2-segmented with a 3-segmented clava. Four species are recognized for the group: P. setigerus Kerrich (from Ghana, Ivory Coast, Republic of Guinea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda), P. multisetis Bouček (from Ivory Coast), P. sp. indet. aff. multisetis (from Uganda), and P. erinaceus Gumovsky sp. n. (from Uganda). This last species is associated with a leaf miner, and is easily recognizable in having numerous strong bristles on the lateral areas of the mesoscutum, along the notauli, and anterior margin of the mesoscutum, a smooth mesoscutellum with only one pair of thin setae, and the pronotal collar with only 6 thin setae. By contrast, in P. setigerus and P. multisetis the mesoscutellum is sculptured and bears a row of about 20 strong bristles on each side, and the pronotal collar also bears about 20 strong bristles. The differences between P. setigerus and P. multisetis, as well as issues on their biology and type material, are discussed.

Colour.—Head irregularly punctate above, yellowish green, the tylus apically and the disc of vertex tinged with brownish yellow; eyes dark grey, ocelli each surrounded on inner side with narrow red rim; head below and rostrum yellow, rostral commissure and apex brownish black. Antennae dark brown, the first segment pale below, shading to black towards the apex of each segment; extreme base of second and third segments and a broad sub-basal annulation on the fourth segment, pale yellow; apex of fourth segment brown. Pronotum dull yellowish green, becoming deeper posteriorly, regularly covered (except for the calli) with small but deep fuscous punctures, which are more dense along the inside of the reflexed lateral margins; extreme humeral angles brown. Propleura yellowish green, punctate, only the outer punctures fuscous. Scutellum dull yellowish green, deeper towards apex, regularly covered with feebly infuscate deep punctures; extreme apex yellow, impunctate. Meso- and meta-pleura yellow, tinged with green towards the basal lateral angles of the pleura, which are rugosely punctate; sterna impunctate, sparsely covered with short erect pale hairs. Hemielytra more or less regularly punctate in series between the veins, dark brown shading to dull blood-red towards apex of corium; veins (including costal and apical margins of corium) yellow, more or less suffused on the disc of elytra with olive-brown; membrane black, the veins olivebrown. Legs yellow, apices of tarsi and claws brown. Abdomen yellow, sparsely covered with short pale obscure hairs.

Triangularia backusii n. sp. was isolated from a soil sample collected in Ohio, U.S.A., and was subjected to alcohol treatment. Triangularia backusii is characterized by oval to pyriform perithecia, elongate-clavate asci, and obovoid ascospores with hyaline, gelatinous appendages. The ascospores are two-celled with a transverse septum; the upper cell is obovoid with a truncate base and brownish black to black and the lower cell is triangular and pale brown to brown. The conidial state is assignable to the genus Phialophora. The new species differs from other known Triangularia species in having the largest ascospores.

A New Species

Abstract A new species of Hippopotamidae, Hexaprotodon dulu nov. sp., was discovered in the Middle Awash valley, Afar, Ethiopia. It was found in the Sagantole Formation, within volcaniclastic beds aged between 5.2 Ma and 4.9 Ma (40Ar/39Ar). It is therefore the oldest hippo species described as yet from Ethiopia. This hexaprotodont hippo exhibits a general morphology that is primitive, close in that respect to other Mio-Pliocene forms. However, its cranium and dentition display a distinctive association of measurements and features. This new species increases the hippo fossil record in East Africa. It also reinforces the hypothesis of hippo endemism in each African basin as early as the basal Pliocene.
