282 Mr. F. P. Pascoe—Additions to the 
lateraliter rotundatus et inermis. Elytra brevia, convexa, prothorace 
latiora, irregularia, apice declivia. Pedes breves; tarsi omnes subzequales. 
Prosternum angustum, depressum. Mesosternum simplex, postice haud 
lobatum. Abdomen breviusculum. 
Allied to Albana, Muls., although a much more bulky form and 
distinguished by its shorter scape, the long third joint of the antennee, 
and irregular elytra. It appears to be not uncommon in Natal. 
Cormia ingrata. 
C. sordide fusea; elytris quadricristatis. 
Hab. Natal. 
Dull brown, with a short reddish-grey pile, and rather coarsely 
punctured; head with a strongly marked line between the tubers; 
prothorax rather wider than the head; elytra considerably broader 
than the prothorax, each with two long narrow elevated crests, the 
first basal, the second commencing at the middle and rather outside 
the line of the first, towards the side a slightly raised line, the apex 
slightly truncate; body beneath and legs chestnut-brown, with a grey 
pile. Length 2-53 lines. 
Sophronica carbonaria. 
S. fusca, sparse nigro pilosa; prothorace transverso, concolori; antennis 
incrassatis ; oculis vertice distantibus. 
Hab. Cape. 
Dark brown, slightly shining, with scattered, stiff, rather shortish, 
black hairs; head broad, very convex in front, and coarsely punctured ; 
eyes widely apart, especially on the vertex; prothorax transverse, 
rounded at the side, coarsely punctured; elytra oblong, irregularly and 
coarsely punctured; body beneath dark chestnut, shining; antennz 
thick, sparsely pilose. Length 4 lines. 
Probably the Sophronica carbonaria of Dejean. The genus Dasyo, 
published by me in the ‘ Transactions of the Entomological Society’ 
(2nd ser. iv. p. 253), is perhaps sufficiently distinct, although at one 
time I thought that it was undoubtedly identical with the Sophronica 
of Blanchard (Hist. des Ins. ii. p. 160) and of Dejean’s Catalogue. 
Dasyo (D. lineata) has, however, larger eyes, nearly approximate on 
the vertex, a narrower and less convex head, and a transverse pro- 
thorax, with certain differences in the comparative length of the 
joints of the antenne which are probably of less value; for in this 
respect, and also in their more attenuated forms, Dasyo improba 
differs from both species.
