8 SJÖSTEDTS KILIMAKDJARO-MERU EXPEDITION. 17: 1. 



5 immature; 6.— 20. IX. 05, 3, X. 05, 1.— 3. XI. 05, 30. XII. 05, and 12. IV. 06. One 

 from a rest of Termes goliath. 



Of those which are dated, the most numerous appear to have been taken from 

 September to November; in April, a solitary male. 



This species has a distinct resemblance to Ch. feae, Ch. conjusa and the other 

 red and black species, but the stumpy triangulär form of the pygidium is distinctive; 

 the three little points at the end are so minute as to be scarcely visible.
