SOME NEW AFRICAN CERAMBYCIBAK 

 BY KARL JORDAN, Ph.D. 



AMONG a series of Longicnrns siilimitted to me for identification by Dr. Hauser, 

 Professor at Erlangen, there were several new sj)ecies, of which I describe 

 the following. 



1. Zamium laevicoUe spec. nov. 



?. Pale fnlvous, tarsi and alxlonien slightly brownish ; pnbescence sparse, 

 the insect ajipeariug almost glabrous ; each punctnre bearing a short hair. 



Pnncturation of head sparser than in Z. crocatum (1888) Pascoe. Antenna 

 reaching middle of elytrum ; scape little more than twice as long as broad, segment 

 3 = 5, not longer than scape, one-fourth longer than 4, this ecpialling in length 10, 

 segments to 11 compressed, 6 to lU slightly asymmetrical apically, subdendate. 

 Prothorax a little broader at apex than at base, rather flattened above, with almost 

 evenly rounded sides ; pnncturation very sparse and indistinct on disc, a little more 

 distinct laterally. Elytnim jinuctured all over, the punctures smaller than the 

 interspaces ; a slightly raised line on disc ; apex rounded. Punctures of underside 

 fine and dispersed. Process of mesosternnm broad, very little narrowed behind, 

 being as broad at the apex as the midfemur at basal third. 



Length, 13 mm. 



Hah. Ikntha, British East Africa. 



One ?. 



In Z. crocatum to which the present species bears a close resemblance, the 

 pronotum is very densely punctured, except the centre of the disc. 



2. Calanthemis hauseri spec. nov. 



(?. Black, antenna and logs rufous, elytrum rufescent. Pubescence of head 

 and nnder surface rather long, grey. A rounded apical spot laterally on pronotum, 

 another, elongate, behind it at base, and a minute dot between the two spots, 

 but a little more lateral, pubescent pale yellow. On each elytrum the following 

 pubescent grey markings : a short basal median vitta, another below shoulder, an 

 angle-shaj)ed line extending from scutellnm to middle of disc, reaching this at 

 basal third of elytrum, then turning towards the side, forming an angle of about 

 70 ; a line starting at basal fourth of suture, running along suture to beyond 

 middle, curving a little away from the suture behind, and then turning at a right 

 angle laterad, reaching the side-margin, this transverse band slightly curved, aud 

 (in our only specimen) almost completely separated from the sutural line ; a 

 sutural vitta commencing iu between the middle one and extending to apex of 

 elytrum, gradually widening behind. On underside a yellowish white lateral vitta 

 extending from forecoxa to end of abdomen, the vitta wider on abdomen than on 

 breast, and the abdominal i)atches composing it trajieziform. 



Tenth segment of antenna a little longer than broad. Prothorax strongly 

 granulose, a little depressed laterally, strongly convex iu middle, longer than 

 broad. Elytrum oblitjuely rounded at apex ; outer angle acuminate, sutural one 

 dentate. Underside densely punctured. llindfeiuur reaching be}(ind end of 

 abdomen.
