Daphisia clytoides, Gahan, Bp. n. 



Brownish black, Head, prothoraz, Bcutellum and body heneath 

 with a rather dense covering of tawny-yellow puhescence, a similar 

 pubescence forming I minis and spots on tin- elytra; head marked 

 with a median black band on the vertex; prothoraz with four 

 longitudinal black bands— two on the disc and one on each Bide; 



* More probably synaposematic in view of the fact that another 

 Bpecies of the Bame genus is the model of Daphisia pulchdla (see 



p. l.wvi). There are in fact details in the pattern of Daphisia 

 clytoides which suggest it- possible secondary mimetic association 

 with the Clerid. Observations during life would he particularly 

 valuable in settling this point. K. B, !'.
