four by Mr. Sloane at ELandos in Feb. s 1918, show a robust 

 species allied to G. ceripennis Blackb., and C. laticollis Cart. Tn 

 structure they are nearer the former, with the elytra the colour 

 of the latter, and readily distinguished from both by the widely 

 sinuate hind angles of prothorax. Compared with C. ceripennis 

 as follows: -Size, form, colour (except that C. ceripennis has the 

 elytra green-bronze), sexual differences very like G. ceripennis. 

 The chief differences are: (1) Prothorax generally narrower, the 

 average of five specimens being C. ceripennis 5 x 7 mm., C. eon- 

 strictus ih x 6 mm., but proportionately wider in front, with 

 anterior angles less convergent. The lateral sulcus is also much 

 less pronounced; (2) Hind angles more widely dentate, the pro- 

 minent tooth pointing outwards (see fig.); (3) Raised border of 

 pronotum finer; and (4) Without special feature mentioned by 

 Blackburn "oblique carina" (rather sulcus, H.J.C.) "running 



across the foliaceous margins cutting off the front angles." 



(My specimens of C. ceripennis were taken at Mount Wilson and 

 identified by Mr. Blackburn himself).

CARDIOTHORAX KERSHAWI, 11. sp. (Plate is., fig.6). 



Elongate-ovate, nitid black, antenna' brown (apical half 

 opaque), tarsi reddish. 



Head: epistoma rather sharply rounded in front, frontal "horse 

 shoe' impression well marked, having two large foveaj within; 

 antenna' stout, its joints oval and enlarging outwards. Prothorax 

 I x I nun., widest before middle, considerably wider at apex than 

 at base, anterior angles prominent and acute, sides converging 

 behind and sinuate before the sublobate hind angles, the latter 

 forming a blunt tooth pointing backwards; lateral bonier thick- 

 ened and raised, base bisinua te: foliate margins moderately w ide. 

 containing two <>r three seta;; disc with deep medial sulcus con- 

 tinuous throughout, and two irregular sulci not reaching apex, 

 one on each side of middle line (each formed by two longitudinal 

 foveae connected by a sulcus). Scutellum small. Elytra con- 

 siderably wider than prothorax at base, and twice as long, 

 shoulder (formed by epipleural fold) widely obtuse; silicate, each
