Hab. Transvaal : Pretoria {Distant) ; Nyasaland 

 {Rmdcdl). 



A somewhat variable species ; the descriptions are very 

 unsatisfactory, and I cannot identify any specimens with 

 humeralis, Thunberg, or distinguendum, Stal. In two 

 specimens, the dark band on the sides of the pronotum 

 is continued to its hinder edge ; but they do not otherwise 

 differ from the rest of the specimens. 



In another variety, the upper dark band on the femora 

 is partially obliterated in front and within. 



111. Catantops vittata, sp. n. 



Long. Corp. 19 millim. 



Fawn-colour, with a black band sliglitly bordered with whitish 

 running backwards from the eye in a straight line over the sides of 

 tlie pronotum, and continued over the costal area of the tegmina. 

 The upper half of the central area of the outside of the liind femora 

 with a broad black stripe ; inside apparently red, with two black 

 spots ; hind tibite mostly red, with black spines. Antenn;e con- 

 colorous ; frontal carinaj nearly obsolete.
