of half the size only and lias the legs a uniform fulvous colour, 

 tlie antennae and the elytral sculpture also diß'ers. 



Cladocera spectabilis Pei-ing. 

 Tliis species described in the Trans. Philosoph. Soc. S. Africa 

 1892 secms without doubt identical with C. angolensis Jac. 

 (Proceed. zool. Soc. Lond. 1882). 



Notomela fulvofasciata sp. n.

 blaek, extremely minutely and closely ])unctured, elytra j)unctate- 

 striate, blackish, with a very broad transverse fulvous band iit

Head very minutely punctured, coriaceous, blackish, ^A ithoul 

 any elevutions, the clypeus not separated from the face, antennae 

 widely separated, black, the ]o\Aei- three joints fulvous, the rest 

 blaek, not extending to the middle of the elytra, the inter- 

 mediate joints somewhat triangularly widened, terminal joints 

 elongate, clothed with yellow pubescence; thorax transverse, the

This is the second species of the genus characterised by 

 me in the Proceedgs. Zool. Soc. 1901; like the type, the 

 present insect was obtained at the same locality and by the 

 same collector; it difi'ers however rather strongly (inter alias) 

 by the structure of the head, in which the clypeus is not markcd 

 and the frontal elevations are absent hat agrees in every other
