each side, the first two or three faintly bi-imdulate ; upper margin with a broad black

 sertion of the antennae. AntcnncB verj^ pale brown ; setce brown towards the apex. 



Thorax — -pronotum very pale yellowish-green, slightly shining, slightly farinose ; length 

 down the centre about equal to one-half the breadth ; posterior margin almost straight

1. LONGICAPUT, n. Sp. 



This species will be most easily recognised by the long head, black 

 line on the upper margin of the face, and the almost round black spot 

 on the mesosternum. I only possess a single ? , but have no record of 

 the date of capture. It has been compared not only with the Fieberian 

 collection, but also with hia drawings, and differs from everything 

 therein contained. 



Very pale green, shining. Crown pale greenish-yellow ; length down the centre about equal 

 to the width across the anterior margin of the eyes ; apex on each side with a short, 

 slightly diagonal, black line. Face pale yellow, with four broad, transverse, black lines 

 on each side, the upper one broadest and joined to those on the crown ; apex l)roadly 

 pale yellow. Cheeks black, lower margin yellow. Lorce yellow, upper margin black. 



Thorax— pronotum and scutellum pale greenish-yellow. Elytra very pale green, shining, 

 <J longer than the abdomen, $ as long as the abdomen ; nerves fine, almost white. Legs 

 pale yellow. Thighs : 1st and 2nd pairs with a broad black ring near, and a nar- 

 row one of the same colour in, the middle ; 3rd with a black line along the upper 

 and under-side, not reaching the apex ; upper margin black. Tibice pale yellow ; inner 

 margin of all the pairs narrowly black ; 2nd and 3rd, outer margin with pitchy-black 

 punctures, in which are inserted the pale spines. 



Abdomen : 6 , underneath piceous, sides broadly brown or brownish-}'ellow ; last segment 

 yellow; genital segments yellow, clothed with long pale hairs. Length, l\ line. 



2. MuLSANTi, Fieb., = striifrons, Kirschb. 



This species has a shorter crown than the foregoing, and neither 

 is the apex so acute ; the black transverse streaks also, sloping rapidly 

 off towards the lower margin of the eyes, sufficiently serve to separate 

 them. 



Apparently scarce. Taken by Mr. Douglas and myself at Croydon 

 in June. 



Yellow. JElytra slightly longer than the abdomen, pale, almost 

 transparent ; nerves fine, white. 



B^ead — crotcn and/are yellow, without markings ; length of the former down the centre 

 equal to the breadth across the anterior margin of the eyes ; anterior margin aud apex
