The pubesceuce of the vertex has ii tawny tint in one specimen. 1 have much, 

 pleasure in naming this species in honour of Mr. (Charles J. Gahan for aid derived 

 from his contributions to otu' Icnowledge of this pretty genus.

$. G. nigra, infra medio pedibnsijue rnfis, LJytris ad scutellum iuconsiiicue 

 brunnescentibus. Capite macula in genis situ, fascia frontali in ntroij[ue latere, 

 vitta oblique ntrinque iu vertice, prothorace utrinijue fasciis duabus longitudinalibus, 

 elytrisque signaturis et sutura albis. Singulo elytro siguaturis quatuor notato, 

 prima in medio basis sita liueare longitudiuali, sccuuda prope humerum lineare, 

 prima mnlto breviorc, tertia mediajia transversa, suturam uon attiugente, fere 

 semilunare, quarta sublaterali auteapicali parum rotuudata ; autice uni-, postice 

 lateraliter bicarinato, disco ad carinam longitudinaliter pi-ofunde impresso; apice 

 bispinoso, spinis acutis. 



Long. 12 mm., elytr. 8i, lat. 3^. 



Black, with bauds and spots of a white pubesceuce. Head with scattered 

 punctures, somewhat crowded here aud there ; with a white band at each side of the 

 front, a spot on the cheeks, and an oblique streak at each side of the vertex, 

 anteridrly Ijordering the upper lobes of the eyes. Scape of antennae with a fine 

 punctuation and with some large punctures. Prothorax as long as broad, con- 

 stricted before the base, aud slightly rounded at the sides ; with two longitudinal 

 and lateral streaks, one immediately above the coxal cavities and the other almost 

 on a level with the shoulders. Scutellum rounded, and clothed with a white pube- 

 scence at the posterior margin. Elytra somewhat brownish ou the base close to the 

 scutellum ; the white pubescence of the suture rather sparse posteriorly ; each 

 elytron bearing four markings, two of which are longitudinal and of a linear shape ; 

 the first a little longer than a quarter the length of the elytra, placed iu the middle 

 of the base aud beginning at the extreme basal marghi ; the second at the inside of 

 the shoulder, shorter than the first ; the third transverse, standing in the middle, 

 touching the carina but not the suture, somewhat rounded in front and sinuate 

 behiud ; and the fourth also touching the carina, placed iu the apex, and of 

 a somewhat rounded form. The tip of each elytron truncate, with both angles

Hah. Kuilu (A. Mocquerys, 1892). 



Similar iu style of marking to G. pioella (Chevr. ), but different in colour of the 

 legs and iu the number of the spots of the elytra.

Cameriious. Que specimen only, whicli agrees with Ciievrolat's type.

A good number of sjiecimens from Kuilu difi'ei- ci)nstantiy IVom G. pnella
