compared them very carefully with my specimen of Macr. confusa, Hope (scutellaris, Gor. et Perch.), from 
Senegal, and do not find any difference. Macroma Abyssinica must therefore be sunk. I have no doubt, by 
comparing Mr. Hope’s specimen of confusa with that of Adyssinica in the British Museum, you will come 
to the same conclusion.’ The specimens from Abyssinia, to which I applied the MS. name MW. Adbyssinica, 
are smaller than all the others from South Africa, Natal, and Zulu, being only 7} lines long. I can, however, 
discover no other specific distinction.

No figure has hitherto been published of this pretty species. 
The basal joint of the antenna is rather dilated. The apex of the clypeus is emarginate, having a trans- 
verse elevated line close to the apex. The maxilla (fig. 3 a) in both sexes has the inner lobe armed with three 
teeth, of which the upper one is the largest, and the inner one scarcely prominent. The mentum (alike in both 
sexes) is emarginate on each side opposite the insertion of the labial palpi (fig. 34), and the anterior tibia of the 
male (fig. 3 c) is narrower and less strongly toothed than that of the female (fig. 3 @). 
Species 4 (6)—MACROMA SULCICOLLIS. 
Nigra nitida, capitis fascia transversa media cum macula trigona verticali conjuncta fulvis, prothoracis 
canaliculati margine laterali lineaque media, scutello, maculisque pectoralibus, alteraque trigona pygidii flavis ; 
prothoracis lateribus haud punctatis. 
Long. corp. lin. 6}.

Syy.: Macroma sulcicollis. Schaum, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 2nd Ser., vol. ii. 1844, p. 294, pl. X, fig. 6. 
Macroma scutellata, Schaum, Germar Zeitschr. iii. p.278 (nec Fabricius, nec Schaum in Ann, Soc. Ent. France). 
Dr. Schaum says of this species in the French Annales, 1844, where he first applied to it the name of 
Macroma sulcicollis, ‘Vespéce que j’avais regardée (Germar Zeitschr., 1. c.) comme étant la Macroma scutel- 
lata des auteurs est plus grande, plus large ; elle a la téte noire avec une bande transversale au milieu et une 
tache y-jointe qui occupe tout le vertex, jaunes ; le corselet est sillonné au milieu dans toute sa longueur et na 
pas des points enfoncés sur les cdtés.’ 
Species 5 (7)—MACROMATA BILINEATA. 
Prats VI, Fie. 5. 
Elongato-ovata, supra subdepressa, clypeo, cum macula trigona verticali punctisque duobus pone oculos 
flavis; prothorace nigro, lateribus flavo marginatis et nigro bipunctatis, lineaque tenui media abbreviata flava 
notato; scutello apice flavo; elytris nigris, singulo vitta longitudinali castaneo-rufa notato ; pygidio convexo, 
macula magna flava transversa postice profunde emarginata ; pedibus castaneis; antennarum clava apiceque 
femorum posticorum fulvis; metasterni et coxarum posticarum necnon segmentorum abdominalium lateribus, 
flavis.
