The principal difference between this insect and Pent, catena, is two black spots on the flesh- 

 coloured part of the hemelytra ; the scutellum not having the black part divided by the cream-coloured 

 line, and the under part of the insect being rather more spotted than that.

 the head. Base of the scutellum black, the hinder part and sides being red. Hemelytra red, the

The specific name, Afer, given to this insect, although having the priority in point of 

 date over that of Fabricius, is so completely inappropriate that I have not hesitated in 

 adopting the latter.
