5. — Temnodera testacea, fig. 2 : Pselaphidae. This new genus is 

 not mentioned by Raffray in the list given by him in Wytsman's 

 " Grenera Insectorum.'" It maj' come near Trichonyx Cliaud. 



G. — Meci/nocanthus unicdor, fig. 3 : Ekteridae. A valid new 

 genus recognisable by the greatly prolonged s])iniform anterior angles 

 of the prothorax. JEiioploderes Schwarz, lcS98 (renamed Ceiifrostethus 

 by the same author in the same year), type Tylotarsus cuspidatus Klug, 

 18-10 { = boieldieui Cand.), from Madagascar, is certainly congeneric, and 

 was based upon the same character, Hope's generic name having priority. 

 His M. imicolor is probably a pallid example of T. cuspidatus Klug. 

 The locality " India Orientalis " given for the former must have been a 

 mere guess. 



7. — Ctenicerus eximius, fig. 4 : Ekteridae. This is obviously a c^ 

 of Ctenicera nohilis Illiger, the type of which was from Madagascar. 



8. — Mater ivallesii, fig. 5 : Ekteridae. This insect must be a 

 Cardiopkon/s, and it appears to be conspecific with several examples 

 from Angola labelled with the MS. name C. loelioitschii Janson in the 

 British Museum. 



9. — Tilliis Q-maculafus, fig. 6 : Cleridae. Doubtless belongs to 

 Stenocylidrus Spinola, of which there are many very similar albo- 

 maculate forms in Madagascar. 



10. — Sfigmatium 2-fasciatum, fig. 7: Cleridae. Generic identifi- 

 cation possibly correct. It appears to be related to S. neglectum Boh. 

 from Natal, etc. 



11. — Brenthiis 7iasalis, fig. 8: Brenthidae. This peculiar insect is . 

 almost certainh^ conspecific with Anisognafhus distortus Westw. (1849), 

 the type of which was from Natal, Hope's specific name having priority. 

 The last-named author compared B. nasalis with forms from M^'sore 

 [? Cyphagogus Parry]. 



12. — Eumorphus castaneus, fig. 9 : Eudomychidae. Probably 

 belongs to Trycherus Gerst., of which there are various somewhat 

 similarly maculate forms in W. Africa. 



Two species of Hymenoptera (the generic names of which appear 

 in the lists of Agassiz and Scudder), one of Hemiptera, and one of 

 Homopterd are also described in the second paper : — 



Hymenoptera. 

 Calotelea (Westwood) aurantia Hope, fig. 10: Proctotrvipidae. 

 Numerous American forms have been referred to this genus by Ashmead. 

 Tlie tyjie was almost certainly fj-om E. Afi'ica.
