the second, and the legs brick-red, the other abdominal segments 

 black ; tarsi pale red, the spurs whitish. Head of the normal shape 

 but somewhat larger than usual, moderately pubescent, the pubes- 

 cence is not very dense and does not hide the foveate punctures ; 

 pronotum trapezoidal, punctate strigillate, mesonotum ampliate and 

 angular laterally, and with several conspicuous strigillate carinae, the 

 intervals of which are furrowed and filled with very elongated fossae, 

 the thorax is moderately setose ; first abdominal segment deeply 

 pitted and with an unconspicuous fringe of white hairs, second 

 segment strongly punctate in the centre and strigillate, third and 

 fourth segments still more closely strigillate, pygidium weakly 

 striolate, the apical part of segments 3-4 with a fringe of white 

 hairs, thicker on the third and fourth, pygidium densely pubescent 

 white. 



Length 4 mm.

APTEROGYNA KARROA, n. sp. 



$ . The description of A. cybele applies to this species, which 

 however differs by the sculpture of the second and third abdominal 

 segments. In A. cybele they are both distinctly and closely strigil- 

 late from apex to base where, as in .4. karroa, the second segment is 

 covered with ovate foveae slightly more elongated in the centre than 

 on the sides, and the intervals are not strigillate, the same obtains on 

 the third segment but there the punctures are smaller and narrower, 

 without much raised intervals, and they are somewhat obliterated 

 near the posterior edge. 



Length 8-10 mm.

$ . It is the male of this species which I described under the 

 name of A. cybcle. It is almost identical with the true A. cybele, but in 

 the latter the antennae are black, whereas in A. karroa the antennae 

 are ferruginous red, the posterior part of the third segment is also 

 less plainly strigillate at apex, and the punctures are not quite so 

 deep in the three first segments as in A. cybele. I do not know 

 .4. meniaticornis , $ , Enderl.

APTEROGYNA HENKRIESA, sp, n. 



$ . Black, with the first abdominal segment red, the antennae and 

 legs are light fulvous. Antennae nearly as long as the body,
