Long. 15 mm., elytr. 10, lat. 5. 



This form diiFers from the preceding speciet; in having the vittae of the head 

 interrupted at the antennal ttdjers, in the scutellnm being entirely covered with a 

 white pubescence, in the basal linear marking of the elytra being longer and 

 narrower, and in the sides uf the disc of the elytra bearing three small spots 

 instead of a long thin line. The usual longitudinal impression beside the carina 

 of the elytra is very deep in this species, and the apices are obliquely emarginate. 

 The last abdominal segment without spines at the apex. 



Hub. t'ameroons. Two males. 



In general appearance this species is so closely allied to the preceding, that 

 I have some doubt if the above-given differences are of specific or sexual character, 

 and it is possible that G. atra may turn out to be the male of G. ossifera.

 confluent, or almost so, with the median sjiots.

The black nr brownish median band on the front of the head bears a grey 

 pubescence on the middle line, especially Ijehind. 8cutelluni of a black or brown 

 colour, clothed at the apex with a more or less sparse buft' pile. The median black 

 mark of the elytra is very large, ;ind occni)ies about a quarter of the length of the 

 elytra ; the mark is sliglitly nblicpie, and does not ijuite extend to the suture : the 

 apical black region includes a more (ir l(!ss rounded spot coloured like the base of 

 the elytra and placed close to the aj)ical margin. Sides of the elytra underneath 

 the carina are either black from before the middle to the apex, or entirely brown.
