shining before the co.xal cavities. Base of the femora, the tibiae, and tarsi blackish ; 

 femora nearly glabrous, slightly clavate, the liiud ones exteiuling to the base of the 

 fifth abdominal segment. 



Hab. Timor (W. Doherty). 



Named in honour of the collector. 



This species and another from Natal ( /-". /jiihirollis Pasc.) have the protliorax 

 clothed with a golden pubescence. 



Clytanthus peroi-natus sp. nov. 



CI. niger, infra i)ul)e flavo-grisea, supra flava vestitns. Prothorax fascia 

 transversa mediana nigra ; scutellum flavura ; elytra apice tiavo et signaturis flavis 

 ornata, scilicet : macula basali scutellum araplecteute, fascia posthumerali arcuata, 

 ad suturam cum macula basali conjuncta, fascia postmediana transversa, ad suturam 

 non interrupta, minime curvata ; apicibns paulo emarginatis bidentatis. 



Long. 14 mm., elytr. 9, lat. 3f. 



Head, antennae, and under surface clothed with a yellowish grey pubescence, 

 which is thin at the base of the antennae, at the base of the abdominal segments, 

 and on the legs ; tarsi ashy grey ; five or six last joints of the antennae whitish. 



Antennae short, scarcely longer than half the body, first joint only a little 

 shorter than the third ; hairs of the apices of the joints thin. Prothorax almost 

 subglobose, broadest a little be^'oud the middle. Scutellum transverse, somewhat 

 broader in the middle than at the base, the sides and apex rounded. Elytra three 

 times as long as broad, slightly narrowed towards the tip ; the latter somewliat 

 emarginate, not obliquely truncate ; the tooth at the sutural angles short, and 

 rather thin ; that at the external ones broad, and rather short. 



The pattern of the elytra is nearly the same as in the European CI. verbose/' (L.).

Clytanthus pileatus sp. nov. 

 (PL VllL, tig. .-).) 



CL niger, infra pube ])allide flava, supra subaurautio-flava vestitus. Antennae 

 elongatae, filiformes, articulo tertio primo multo longiore. Prothorax ovalis, parum 

 rotundatus, maculis tribus nigris notatns, una mediana ovali, una in ntroqne latere 

 irregulare plus minusve rotundata. Scutellum basi excc])ta flavum, semicirculare. 

 Elytra elongata, cylindrica, apicibns oblique subtrnncatis, angulis internis dentatis, 

 externis acutis sed non dentatis ; extremo apice et fasciis tribus transversis flavis 

 ornata, prima basali recta, marginem basalem non attingente, ad humeros anguste 

 interrupta, versus suturam tenuissime profunde incessa, secuuda antemediana ad 

 suturam interrupta, ad marginem lateralem angustiore, tertia postmediana in sutura 

 versus anticnm longc; anguste producta ; area parva apicali flava obliqua emarginata. 



Long. 13-| mm., elytr. S, lat. 3. 



Antennae filiform, reaching the postmedian yellow baud nf the elytra, apices of 

 the third and two following joints with some rather long setaceous hairs. Of the 

 three prothoracic maculae, which sometimes are connected, the central one is longer 

 than broad, and rounded, the lateral ones are irregular and oblique, rounded in front, 

 and emarginate or truncate behind. Legs slender, femora, a very little thickened. 



The pubescence of the upper surface has a tinge of orange.
