the apical point of right; dentation as with transvaalensis, 

 but teeth more separated ; basal margin of process of left 

 acute ; margin below second tooth of right with two shallow 

 obtuse incisions and no distinct scallop between them. 



Antennae yellow; whip-like; much as with trans vaal- 

 ensisj but joint III usually the smallest, with IV larger 

 than III, V larger than IV, and VI larger than V ; sometimes 

 with IV and V equal ; sometimes with III larger than IV, and 

 when so presenting a double whorl of bristles ; number of 

 joints about twenty-eight to thirty-one.

 apex; distal margin faintly incurvate; inserted stem short 

 and wide. 



Thorax. — Median area of each shield bright golden 

 yellow bordered by pale brown ; with paired and distinct 

 pale brown dots on meso- and metanotum ; agreeing in struc- 

 tural details with transvaalensis, except that (1) the 

 segments are proportionately broader, (2) the processes not 

 so incised behind, and (3) the metanotum is as wide or wider 

 than the mesonotum. Much like that of mossambicus, 

 except that (1) the shields are relatively broader, (2) the 

 pronotum presents a faint notch on the cephalic margin, and 

 the lateral processes project more outwards, (3) the mesonotum 

 is more angled behind.
