328 Longicornia from Africa and ]\Iadagascar. 



Note. — In referring the (Lamia) cBiiea of Parry to the 

 genus Domitia of Thomson, I suggested that this species 

 might be identical with either D. viridipenms, Chevr., or 

 Z). lupanaria, Thorns. I have since, through the kindness 

 of Mr. Fry, been enabled to examine the type of 1). eenea, 

 and I find that it is quite distinct from D. viridipennis. 

 A comparison of the two may prove useful. 



In D. cenea the prothorax is provided with two obtuse 

 and rather feebly raised tubercles on the anterior part of 

 the disk; the elytra are highly polished, brassy black, 

 and each furnished with twelve rows (including the 

 short sutural row) of somewhat feeble punctures ; the 

 femora are somewhat reddish brown. 



In D. viridipennis, the prothorax is without dorsal 

 tubercles, the elytra are highly polished, green, each 

 with twelve rows (including the sutural row) of much 

 stronger punctures. The legs, like the rest of the body 

 and the antennae, are black with a faint greyish 

 pubescence.
