84 Mr. M. Jacoby's Descriptions of New Genera and 



scutellnm broad, elytra finely pubescent, their epipleur^ very narrow 

 and disappearing below tlie middle, legs slender, all the tibiae 

 mucnmate, the metatarsus of the posterior legs longer than the 

 following joints together, claws bifid, prosternum invisible between 

 the coxee, the anterior coxal cavities open. The very narrow elytral 

 epipleurse, the mucronate tibia\ elongate metatarsus as well as the 

 bifid claws and the finely pubescent uj^per surface of this genus 

 present a number of characters not found in any of the numerous 

 genera of Galerticmai in the same proportion ; the true place of the 

 species is therefore somewhat problematical, but in Schematizella,J ac, 

 it has perhaps its nearest ally ; both genera inhabit the same locality, 

 have the antenna^, shape of the thorax, the narrow elytral epipleurre 

 and the bifid claws of similar structure, but the tibine in the present 

 genus have a long spur, in Schematkella even with the strongest lens 

 I cannot find any mucro. 



SHctocema maculicollis, sp. n. 



Testaceous, the antennte, the upper edge of the femora and the 

 tibia; and tarsi black, vertex with one, thorax with three black spots, 

 elytra finely rugose, and closely pubescent, metallic green, the lateral 

 margins testaceous. Length 7 millim. 



Head closely rugose, the vertex and the labrum black, the clypeus 

 testaceous, antennae with the lower eight joints black (the rest 

 wanting), third joint shorter than the fourth, both joints elongate, 

 the others shorter ; thorax transverse, but scarcely one-half broader 

 than long, the sides straight, oblic^uely narrowed towards the apex, 

 the entire surface finely rugose and pubescent, testaceous, the sides 

 with a small spot or a narrow stripe, the middle with a larger black 

 sjaot, scutellum broad, testaceous or fuscous ; elytra elongate, slightly 

 widened posteriorly, finely rugose or wrinkled throughout and 

 clothed with rather long grey pubescence, the extreme lateral 

 margins and the epipleurye testaceous, legs long and slender, the 

 femora testaceous, the upper edge black, the tibise and tarsi entirely 

 of that colour, posterior first tarsal joint as long as half the tibite. 



Hah. LoLODORF, Cameroons. 



In this species, the metatarsus of the posterior legs is 

 extremely elongate, much longer than in the following 

 insect which prevents its being considered an unicolorous 

 variety of that species, with which it otherwise agrees in 

 structure. 



Stictocema fasciata, sp. n, (Plate III, fig. 9.) 

 Testaceous, the apical joints of the antenna? black, head and 

 thorax finely rugose, the first-named with one, the latter with three
