laterally and in front and is occasionally quite black ; the legs are 

 black, or piceous black, and the sculpture of the thorax and abdomen 

 consists of deeper punctures, and in the latter the striolation is more 

 distinct and the intervals are almost longitudinal on the second and 

 third segments. Length 6-13 mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Cape Town, Namaqualand, Port Elizabeth). 



Like the preceding one, this species varies much in size, and in 

 the larger examples the punctures and the striolation are much 

 more striking. The large examples resemble A. mutilloides from 

 India. 



APTEROGYNA MNEMOSINA.

Hab. Damaraland (Walfish Bay). 



Size and shape of A. globular ia, Fabr., but otherwise coloured; 

 the antennae are much more filiform, the abdomen is closely punc- 

 tured instead of being striolate, and the second and third segments 

 are not grooved in the dorsal part in A. globularia.
