Longicornia of South Africa, gc. 285 
Syessita duplicata. 
S. angustior, fulvo pubescente; antennis pedibusque nigris. 
Hab. Natal. 
Narrower than the two preceding species; pubescence fulvous, not 
silky; head with a slight median line, the transverse one between the 
antenne also very slight; eye narrow, a little incurved behind, a black 
spot behind the eye; prothorax very narrow, a dark stripe on each side ; 
scutellum small, black; elytra entirely unicolorous, each with three 
raised lines; body beneath dark brown or black, with a thin greyish 
pile; legs and antenne black, in one specimen some of the intermediate 
joints of the latter are pale greyish at the base. Length 33 lines. 
HYytrista. 
Caput antice subquadratum, convexum, tuberibus antenniferis validis, 
erectis, approximatis. Ocul’ mediocres, grosse granulati. Antenne 12- 
articulate corpore duplo longiores, tenues, fere glabra, scapo elongato, 
incrassato, cylindrico, articulo secundo brevi, tertio longissimo scapo 
zequali, ceteris multo brevioribus et subgradatim decrescentibus. Pro- 
thorax oblongus, capite equalis. Zlytra elongata, angusta, lateribus 
subparallelis. Pedes breves; femora antica robusta; tibie intermedi 
emarginate ; tarsi angusti, articulo ultimo elongato. -Acetabula antica 
parum angulata. Pro- et meso-sterna simplicia. 
In its general appearance this genus lies between Agapanthia and 
Calamobius*, agreeing, however, more closely with the latter, espe- 
cially in its cylindrical scape, emarginate intermediate tibize, and 
short legs, but differing from both, inter alia, in its erect approximate 
antennary tubers. Notwithstanding its sober appearance, it is a most 
interesting addition to the Longicornia of South Africa. 
Hyllisia stenrdeoides. 
H. fulvida, pube grisea sparse tecta. 
Hab. Natal. 
Pale fulvous, sparsely covered with a coarse grey pubescence; head 
coarsely and closely punctured; mandibles pitchy; palpi reddish tes- 
taceous; prothorax nearly cylindrical, longer than broad; scutellum 
somewhat quadrate, but a little rounded behind; elytra coarsely punc- 
tured, elongate, the sides at first nearly parallel, then very gradually 
narrowing posteriorly, the apex rounded; body beneath with a very 
thin greyish pile; legs brownish, the tibie paler, intermediate tibie 
deeply emarginate; antenne twice as long as the body, apparently 
glabrous, but in reality clothed with very short grey hairs, the scape 
and second joint dark brown, the remainder testaceous, the third black 
* M. James Thomson, in his recent work (‘ Syst. Céramb.’ p. 97), refers this 
genus to Hippopsis. The latter has 11-jointed antenne.
