Aulacophora sexplagiata n. sp. 
Black, the basal joints of the antennæ and the head and thorax 
flavous, the latter obsoletely sulcate, impunctate ; elytra finely 
punctured, flavous, a transverse band before and below the middle 
and the lateral and apical margins, black. 
G. Thorax with a tubercle at the middle of the base; elytra 
conically raised in front of the scutellum, the last abdominal 
segment trilobate, the intermediate lobe concave, broader than 
long. 
Q. Thorax and elytra without tubercles, last abdominal segment 
simple. — Length 3 1/2-4 lines. 
G'. Head impunctate, frontal elevations scarcely prominent, 
palpi black, moderately incrassate, antennæ extending nearly to 
the apex of the elytra, black, the basal two joints and part of the 
third, flavous, third and fourth joints nearly equal; thorax twice 
as broad as long, flavous, narrowed at the base, the middle of the 
sides rather prominent, the dise with a transverse rather obsolete 
sulcus at the sides, impunctate, the basal margin with a blunt 
but prominent tubercle at the middle ; scutellum obscure piceous, 
obsoletely carinate at the sides; elytra flavous with three black 
transverse bands or black with six flavous patches, the bands 
extend a little way upwards along the lateral and sutural margin 
and are partly connected and widened towards the mar- 
gins, the first band is placed before, the second, below, and the 
third at the extreme apex; underside and legs black ; the apex of 
the last abdominal segment more or less flavous; claw sbifid. 
ab. Africa trop. (Brussels Museum, coll. Jacoby). 
This species is a true Awlacophora and resembles one or two 
species of the allied genus Zyperacantha ; the design of the elytra 
in connection with the male characters will separate 4.6 plagiata 
from ony other African species; in specimens where the bands are 
wider, the elytra have the base, a transverse spot at the middle 
and a round one at the apex, flavous. 
Cynorta limbata n. sp. 
Fulvous, the breast and abdomen black; thorax impunctate, 
obsoletely sulcate, elytra very finely and closely punctured, fla- 
yous or fulvous, the margins narrowly black or piceous. 
Length 2 1/2 lines. 
Head inpunctate, similar to C. parvicollis, antennæ with the first 
four joints fulvous, the third, half the length of the fourth, the
