in considering it as a very distinct species, differing in many points 

 from the preceding ones. 



Hab. Zambezia (Salisbmy). 



Reichenbachia afra. 



Somewhat short and broad, ferruginous, covered with a sub- 

 flexible pubescence, legs reddish ; head a little longer than broad, 

 and having three foveae, the anterior of which is larger than the 

 others and oblong ; antennae short, thick, variable in both sexes ; 

 prothorax broader than the head, not longer, lateral foveae moderate, 

 distant from the margin, median one smaller ; elytra subquadrate, 

 hardly attenuate at base and tripunctate, dorsal stria slightly 

 arcuate, and shortened at some distance from the sutural angle. 



Male : Third to sixth joints of antennae briefly oblong, decreasing 

 in length, seventh and eighth quadrate, ninth strongly transverse, 

 slightly produced inwardly, tenth a little broader than the pre- 

 ceding one but twice as long and transverse, eleventh very large, 

 subglobose, truncate at base and broadly but not deeply impressed 

 and the impression very shining, obtusely acuminate at tip ; ab- 

 dominal carinEe parallel, and inclosing a third of the width of 

 disk ; metasternum obtusely gibbose laterally ; intermediate tibiae 

 provided with a long strong ante-apical spur. 



Female : Third to fifth joints of antennae briefly oblong, sixth 

 quadrate, seventh to eighth slightly transverse, ninth and tenth 

 transverse, increasing in size, eleventh briefly ovate, truncate at 

 base, oblique externally towards the apex and obtusely acuminate ; 

 carinula of abdomen slightly divergent, shorter than in the other 

 species, and inclosing hardly the fourth part of the width of 

 disk ; metasternum simple. Length 1-50 mm. 



This species may at once be distinguished from the others by the 

 short body and thick antennae.
