Two paratypic males show that the species probably varies little 

 in size and structure, but considerably so in color. The general color 

 lightens to general wood-brown tints and also toward greenish; in the 

 former phase the legs are hardly clouded, while in the latter the dark 

 shades remain as in the type, and the clouding is, in consequence, of 

 even greater contrast. 



LEPTYNIA Pantel. 



1890. Leptynia Pantel, An. Soc. E8pafi. Hist. Nat., XIX, p. 3S5. 

 Apparently Maransis Karsch (Entom. Nachrich., XXIV, pp. 365, 

 381, 1898) should be referred to this genus as a synonym. 



Leptynia rufolineatus (Schulthess). 



1899. M[aransis] rufolineatus Schulthess, Bull. Soc. Vaudoise Sci. Nat., 

 Lausanne, XXXV, p. 200, PI. VIII, fig. 4. [Delagoa.] 



1904. Maransis rufolineatus Rehn, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1904, p. 83. 

 [Zulu Mission, South Africa.] 



This species should be placed in the vicinity of L. prospera Brunner 

 and aspericollis (Bates), to both of which it is extremely close, if really 

 separable from one or the other. Brunner in his monograph has 

 omitted this species as well as the related mozambicus Westwood and 

 trilineatus Stal. 



Leptynia senex n. sp. 



Type: 9 ; Kikuyu Escarpment, British East Africa. [Acad. Nat. 

 Sci. Phila., type No. 5,172.] 



In the sublobate median femora this species shows relationship 

 to L. pluto Rehn 10 from Lake Kivu, but the more robust and hoary 

 granulate body, the longer operculum and more compressed and 

 apically emarginate anal segment are distinctive of senex. 



Size rather large; form moderately elongate; surface of thorax 

 irregularly and bluntly granulate. Head slightly more than half 

 again as long as the prothorax, gradually narrowing caudad; inter- 

 ocular region slightly inflated; occipital margin slightly impressed 

 mesad; eyes subelliptical in basal outline, hardly prominent ; antennae
