cf Head (damaged). — Upper lip metallic black, genae ? blue. 

 Rest of dorsal surface black, with a pair of small wedge-shaped 

 post-ocular blue spots. 



Prothorax (damaged). — Largely black, probably a yellow spot 

 on either side. 



Thorax. — Dorsum black as far as first lateral suture, marked 

 in front on either side of the mid-dorsal carina along its lower two- 

 fifths with a very large almost circular spot oE bright blue. This 

 spot appears to be homologous not only with the oval spot of 

 C. renifera, but also to include the persistent lower end of the ante- 

 humeral band. Sides and lower surface pale yellow with an in- 

 complete black band at the second lateral suture. 



Abdomen. — Segments i, 2 black above; 3-8 brown, darker at 

 the articular rings; 9, 10 black (probably) marked with blue dor- 

 sally; anal appendages blackish- 

 brown. Upper pair longer than 

 lower pair, and when viewed from 

 above flattened and truncate. In 

 profile they appear shaped rather 

 like the blade of a table knife, and 

 each carries two small downwardly 

 directed teeth separated from one 

 another by a concave edge. Lower 

 Fig. i-— Coeliccia erici, sp. nov. pair stout, of the shape character- 

 Anal appendages ^, obliquely from istic of the genus, curved inwards 

 *^' to meet each other at their extrem- 



ities, and at the same time hooked 

 downwards (text- fig. 3). 



9 (much damaged). Head as in male ? 



Prothorax with a very large yellow mark on either side of middle 

 line separated by fine back line, anterior and posterior lobes black. 

 Posterior margin gently concave, with minute projection backwards 

 in the middle line. 



Thorax with broad yellow antehumeral bands. 

 Abdomen dark brown, passing to black-brown apically. Seg- 

 ments 8, 9 with apical dorsal, crescentic yellow mark. 



I have named this species after a soldier who fell in 1915 and 

 also after my little son his cousin.
