even longer. Length of body (3 type) 26 mm.; of pronotum 5 mm. ; 
of elytra 21-5 mm.; of hind femora 16 mm.; of hind tibiae 13 mm. 
The dimensions of the female cotype are: Length of 
body 38 mm.; of pronotum 7 mm.; of elytra 30 mm.; of 
hind femora 23 mm.; of hind tibiae 20 mm. 
Specimens of zbandana from West Africa are distin- 
guished from East African ones by their dimensions, and, 
especially, by their longer elytra. I believe that they 
belong to a distinct geographical race which replaces true 
ibandana in West Africa.*

4, Euprepocnemis senegalensis I. Bol. 
1914. Huprepocnemis plorans Charp. var. senegalensis 
I. Bolivar, Trab. Mus. Madrid, ser. Zool, N 20, p. 10. 
I have not seen this insect, but from Bolivar’s description 
it differs’ from H. plorans too much to be regarded as a 
mere variety of it. Bolivar’s description is too short, and 
he does not compare F. senegalensis with the central 
African E. ibandana (which he wrongly considered to be 
identical with calceata Serv.), and therefore I think it 
useful to treat H. senegalensis as a distinct species till 
larger series of it may be obtained and its relationship 
established. 
5. Euprepoenemis cinerea (Blanch.). 
1853. <Acridium cinereum Blanchard, Voyage au Pole 
Sud, iv, p. 372, Ins. Orth. pl. 3, fig. 8. 
This species is unknown to me from specimens, but it 
appears to be very near to EL. zbandana longipennis, if not 
identical with it. The only point against it, is that E. 
cimerea is described from Teneriffe, while longipennis is 
* Prof. Y. Sjéstedt has kindly submitted to me some specimens 
from Kamerun recorded by him as H. plorans (Ent. Tidskr, Arg. 31, 
H. 1, 1910, p. 8 of separate copy), but which actually belong to 
E. ibandana longipennis.
