446 Mr. W. L. Distant on the 
recording his P. madagascariensis, remarks: ‘‘ Nous 
voyons si peu de différence avec le Pyrops tenebrosus, F’., 
que nous croyons que ce n’est qu’une variété; nous en 
dirons autant du flammea, Lin.” 
I have not been able to examine a specimen of P. 
madagascariensis, but should presume it to be a distinct 
species from the differential structural characters of the 
cephalic process, as given by Stal (supra), while Signoret 
as certainly did not possess the typical Linnean species. 
4. Pyrops natalensis, n. sp. 
Head, thorax, tegmina, and legs luteous, slightly tinged with 
testaceous ; cephalic process irregularly spotted with black, and 
with a central elongate ochraceous spot at base; thorax thickly 
and finely spotted with black, the lateral angles and apex of the 
mesonotum impunctate; tegmina obscurely and finely spotted 
with black, the spots most distinct and prominent on costal and 
apical areas, which are also paler in hue; wings pitchy black; 
abdomen black, above with the posterior segmental margins 
brownish, beneath with oblique marginal ochraceous spots; legs 
irregularly spotted with black. Cephalic process long and robust, 
coarsely rugose, with three prominent longitudinal narrow waved 
carinze above, and two beneath, the others merged and tessellate, 
the apex obliquely and concavely truncate. Long. from eyes to 
apex of abdomen, 28 millim.; cephalic process from eyes to apex, 
18 millim.; exp. tegm. 85 milim. 
Hab. Natal; Durban (coll. Dist.). 
A species to be differentiated from the other black- 
winged Ethiopian species by the length and rugosity of 
the cephalic process.
