236 Mr. W. F. Kirby's Additional Notes on 



some otlier Ortlwptcra in the British Museum bearing the 

 same label. 



45d. Acrotylus furcifer. 



Acrotyhis furdfcr, Saussure, Mem. Soc. Geneve, xxx (i), 

 p. 09 (1888). 



Hah. Transvaal: Barberton {BendaU). 



A single specimen, which I refer to this species with 

 some hesitation, as the description is not sufficiently 

 precise. 



45e. Acroti/lus Jlavescens. 



Acrotylus Jtavescens, Stal, Rec. Ortli., i, p. 135 (1873). 

 Acrutylus angulatus, Still, (Et'v. Vet. Akad. Forh., xxxiii 



(3), p. 52 (1876) ; Saussure, Mem. Soc. Geneve, xxxviii 



(9), p. 189, n. 5 (1884). 



Hah. Transvaal: Pretoria (Distant); Ovambo {angu- 

 latus, Still) ; Cape ; China (Jiavescens, Stal). 



About 40 specimens. The insect appears to be both 

 very abundant and very local. In one or two specimens 

 the head and thorax are reddish, with the characteristic 

 black markings more or less obliterated. 



The two names referred to above appear to me to relate 

 to the same species.

Long. Corp. l.o niilliin. ; exp. al. 44 milliin. 



Head and thorax brown above, yellow on the side.s, with a black tri-

 the pi'incipal suture ; below it another black mark curves back from the 

 middle of the cheek to the principal suture ; hind lobe of pronotum 

 brown, punctured. Intercalary spaces, pectus, and basal half of abdomen 

 above mostly black ; abdomen beneath and at the sides yellow ; four 

 front legs yellow, indistinctly banded Avitli brown ; hind femora

 surface black, a yellow band before the knee on the inside ; hind 

 tibise black in the middle, with a yellow band near the base, and 

 the apical fourth red ; spines black, nine in the outer row ; tarsi red.
