198 Mr. Jacoby’s descriptions of phytophagous 
thorax finely punctured ; elytra black, closely semirugose-punctate. 
Length, 6 lines. 
3. Head rather remotely but distinctly punctured at the 
vertex, the latter black ; the lower portion of the face flavous; the 
space between the eyes impressed with two short fove and a few 
deep punctures; antenne simple, half the length of the body, 
black, the basal joint fulvous below, the fourth joint longer than 
the others, the intermediate joints slightly widened, robust; 
thorax three times broader than long, the sides but slightly 
rounded towards the apex, the anterior angles produced towards 
the head, the posterior margin sinuate at each side, the surface 
with several irregular depressions, unevenly punctured throughout, 
flavous; scutellum flavous; elytra broad, robust, closely punc- 
tured, the sides finely rugose, the interstices also covered with 
minute punctures; below flavous, the sides of the breast, the 
upper margin, and the apices of the femora and the tibie and tarsi, 
black; anterior tarsi of the male dilated. 
Hab. Nguru, Central Africa. A single male speci- 
men is contained in my collection. 
Cladocera zanzibarica, n. 8. 
Black; the lower part of the face and the thorax flavous; 
antenne with triangularly dilated joints; elytra black, finely 
rugose-punctate, the lateral margin narrowly fulvous. Length, 
5 lines. 
9. Head impressed with oblong punctures at the sides of the 
vertex, the latter black, the lower portion flavous, with some deep 
punctures between the eyes; antenne short, not extending much 
beyond the base of the elytra, black, the fourth and following 
joints triangularly dilated; the thorax of the same shape as 
C. nigripennis, and punctured in the same way; scutellum 
flavous; elytra finely rugosely punctured throughout, their extreme 
lateral margin and their epipleure fulvous; under side and legs 
black; the margins of the abdominal segments fulvous; the 
pygidium flavous above. 
Hab. Zanzibar. 
This species, of which a single female specimen is 
contained in my collection, is very closely allied to the 
preceding one, but represents, I believe, a distinct form, 
on account of the shape of the antenne, which probably 
have their joints serrate in the male insect; other 
differences are to be found in the entirely black under 
side and legs, and in the fulvous elytral margins.
