A. Dolirni, is Ihc smnllest I have secn (»f thc lilue speeit'S 

 of (he gvmis, being ralher sinalhü- Uiaii inv c'.\iiiii[)k'S of A. capensh, 

 which it radier nearly reseiiihli's. Tliree examples are belore

Cyrtomorphus histeroides n. sp. 



Laie ovatiis, nigerriiiuis, nitidus, siilitililcr erehre |)uiielaius, 

 capitis basi, palpis maxillaribus, elytnjnmi niaculis duabiLs, uiia 

 basihiri rotundata, altera majore mediana transversa epipleurisf(iM', 

 siinguineis. Long. 8—10, lat. 5—6,5 millim. 



Hab. Soekaranda. 



The krger speeimens of this insect ure smaller than 

 (\ panfheriniis and broader in )>ro])orliun; shining black above 

 and beneath, the head and prothorax tinely, closely and dislinctlv 

 punctured, the prosternum a little compressed in front, the process 

 broad and niargined, angiüarly exeavate behind, meso-, meta- 

 sternum and abdomen thickh'^ and finely punctured and sliining, 

 the margins of the Segments smooth. The elytra have the inter- 

 stices so thickly punctured, as to be almost confused with the 

 Striae, these horower are apparent under a strong lens. The red 

 markings are very distinct, they are a basal round spot, touching 

 the scutellum and a broad transverse one in the middle, con- 

 traeted a little on each side; so as to look like two united spots. 

 Legs quite black. This quite unlike any other Cyrtomorphus 

 in coloration. 



Five examples.
