Genus Stenocrobylus. 



Stcnocrohylus, Gerstaecker, Arch. f. Nat., xxxv, p. 219 

 (1869) ; Von der Decken's Keisen, iii (2), p. 45 (1873). 



115. Si cnocrohylus (?) trifasciatus, sp. n. 



Long. corp. (^ 18 millim.,9 22 millim. ; long. al. ant. ^ 9 millim., 

 9 14 niillini. 



Rufo-testaceous ; antenna- black, except the basal joint in the male ; 

 the incisions very narrowly ringed with pale. A broad black stripe, 

 bisected by the pale dorsal carina, runs from the back of the pro- 

 notum to the extremity of the scntellum of the vertex, where it ends 

 in a point ; thei'e is also a black stripe on each shonlder, narrowed in 

 front, extending behind the eye to the extremity of the pronotum ; 

 between this and the central band are some blackish dots at the 

 back ; and the sides of the pronotum and pleura are marked with 

 scattered black dots. Tegmina with a short black stripe (sometimes 

 obsolete) beyond the base of the costa, and a median black stripe, 

 scarcely reaching the base, extending for about h the length ; above 

 this is a row of partly-connected and varia1)le black spots, and two 

 or more black spots on the basal half of the anal area. Prosternal 

 tubercle broad at the base, obtusely rounded at the extremity, and 

 more slender in the male than in the female. Hind femora with three 

 partly macular black bands, converging behind, on the outer central 

 area ; and the outer spaces above and below dotted with black ; the 

 ujjper and median spaces on the inner surface are also largely black, 

 and the lower space dotted with black. Hind tibia^ with a black 

 line above, and with eight black-tipped spines on the outer carina. 

 Wings considerably shorter than the abdomen in both sexes. 



Hah. Transvaal : Barberton {Rrndall). 



Described from two males and four females. 



There are several species allied to this in the British 

 Museum, but with wincjs as lon^f or lonij^er than the 

 abdomen. I refer them, with some slight hesitation, to 

 Gerstaeckcr's genus Stcnocrohylus. 



The .species nearest to S. irifascmtns is very abundant 

 at Zomba, and I add a description below. 



IIG. Stenocrohylus (?) ivhytei,sp. n. 



Long. Corp. 16-25 millim. 



Testaceous, hardly shading into rufous. Antenna- l)lack, except at 

 the extreme base, vertex and pronotum with a double central stripe,
