454 APPENDIX I. 
anterior margin of the front of the head ; lower edge of cheek 
raised; mandibles very large. 
Rough with hairs all over. Antennz thickened towards the 
apex; third joint almost twice as long as the scape. Prothorax 
very short; especially the prosternum much reduced; with lateral 
tooth close to the base.. Elytra short, convex, truncate at the 
base, rounded together at the apex. 
Type: Cudzlia donaldsoni, Jord., sp. nov. 
The structure of the front of the head is very peculiar, and is 
most probably found only in the male sex. In the dilated antenne, 
cubilia reminds one of some other African genera, Thercladodes, 
THOMSON, Phys. I. p. 114 (1868), and CJlontocerus, CASTELN., 
Hist. Nat. Col. II. p. 468 (1841). 
9. Cubilia smithi, Jord., sp. nov. 
é. Black; base of femora, middle of sterna, and abdomen 
rufous ; densely clothed with an ochraceous pubescence. Head 
not impressed between the antennez ; with a black spot behind 
each eye and a third larger one upon the occiput. Antenne 
black, not quite reaching the apex of the elytra; eyes small. 
Prothorax 1? mm. long and 3 mm. broad, constricted at the 
base, evenly convex ; lateral tooth in front of the basal sulcus. 
Three black vittae ; one at each side stopping at the tooth, narrow, 
and the third upon the disc, about 1 mm. broad, widest a little 
beyond the middle, suddenly narrowed at the base. 
Scutellum and two spots on each elytron black; the first spot 
stands close to the suture and is basal, diameter about I mm., its 
outer edge rounded; the second spot is postmedian, transverse, 
also close to the suture, its length (in transverse direction) about 
2 mm.; besides these spots there is a black dot upon the humeral 
angle. The elytra are punctured, but the punctures are concealed 
under the dense pubescence. 
Length, 83 mm.; elytr., 5? mm. ; breadth, 3? mm. 
One specimen of this very curious insect found between Aimola 
and Higo on March 19, 1895.
