This species is black, clothed with a greyish powder, and thickly 
irrorated with dirty fulvous dots. On the crown of the head are 
two small triangular dark patches, and the hind margin of the 
head is black; the mandibles of the male are small, black, and 
unarmed; the dise of the prothorax is rugose and grey, with 
numerous small dirty fulvous marks; the elytra are closely 
covered with minute punctures, and numerous irregular small 
fulvous dots, in addition to which each is marked with the three 
ordinary, slightly elevated, polished, black, longitudinal lineole ; 
the legs and underside of the thorax are variegated with luteous 
black and grey; and the abdomen is grey, with the centre black, 
each segment, except the last, being marked on each side with a 
small fulvous patch. 
LAMIA (TRAGOCEPHALA?) GLAUCINA, Dej. 
L. obseure fusca opaeca; thorace striga lata media maculisque duabus lateralibus; elytrisque 
(plaga magna basali triangulari excepta) pallide favescentibus. Long corp. lin. 133. 
Habitat ——-? In Mus. Chevrolat (olim Olivierii). 
This pretty species is nearly allied to Lamia angulata of 
Olivier, and L. bicolor (W. ante, pl. 78, fig. 4). It is on this 
account that I presume it to be an African species, differing chiefly 
from the last-named insect in its less robust form and shorter 
antenne, which might indicate it to be the female of that species; 
but the pale markings on the thorax, and the large triangular 
dark patch on the base of the elytra, must, I conceive, be 
regarded as indicating # distinct species. The general colour is 
opaque dark blackish-brown; the markings on the thorax and the 
elytra (except the basal patch and the small lateral streaks) are of 
a very pale yellow colour, having a greenish tinge. 
Obs. Lamia humeralis, Fabricius, Ent. Syst., 1, part 2, p. 281, appears also to belong to 
the sub-genus Sternotomis. 
The plant represented in Plate 85 is Iris pavonia, and that in 
Plate 86 is Trichonema roseum, both from Southern A friea.
