basilari lobato, ultimo quinque precedentibus simul sumptis longiore : thorax capite triplo 
latior, postice utrinque subfoveolatus. Elytra thorace latiora : tibie rufe apice haud spinose.” 
Species I1I.—Cerapterus quadrimaculatus. (Plate 49, fig. 3, and details.) C. piceo-niger,

This is the largest species in the family. A unique specimen was 
collected by Dr. Smith, and described and figured by Mr. MacLeay 
in the “ Annulosa of South Africa,” from which work my figure 
and description are derived.
