142 Dr. B. P. Uvarov’s Notes on the 
Two female cotypes, rather badly preserved, still showing 
strong likeness to the male in their coloration; prosternal 
tubercle in females is slightly narrowed towards the apex; 
space between mesosternal lobes a little longer than broad, 
widened backwards; elytra with slight traces of dark spots. 
Dimensions of one of these females are: Length of the 
body 61 mm.; of peonecian 10°5 mm.; of elytra 45 mm. ; 
of hind femora 37°5 mm. 
This species is easily recognised by its coloration and 
the form of prosternal tubercle and mesosternal interspace. 
British Museum specimens: Atbara, Abyssinia, 1 3 
(type), 2 22 (cotypes). 
6. Cataloipus roseipennis, sp. n. 
Smaller than any known species and distinct in its coloration, 
the general colour being brownish, with a darker longitudinal stripe 
along the head and pronotum, prolonged a little at the base of 
elytra. Face yellow, with infumate frontal ridge; the latter nearly 
parallel, rather suddenly narrowed near the fastigium. Fastigium 
wide and short, with lateral impressions small, but well expressed, 
while two opaque hind impressions are nearly obliterate. Pro- 
notum with lateral carinae straight, slightly divergent backwards, 
disappearing in metazona; lateral lobes brownish with lighter 
coloured middle and blackened fore upper edge. Prosternal tubercle 
compressed, slightly concave behind and gibbose at the fore side, 
seen from front with circular rounded apex. Mesosternal lobes 
transverse with quadrate interspace. Elytra dark brown with 
sharp sulphurous stripe in scapular field and obliterate greenish in 
axillar field. Wings rose, with brown veins, slightly infumate 
towards the apex. Anal segment with two widely separated obtuse 
teeth. Supra-anal plate with sides rounded (its apex is broken in 
the type). Subgenital plate large, erected, with deep, rotundate 
emargination at the apex and apical lobes truncate with oblong 
impression at the lower side, just below apical emargination. Cerci 
compressed, with apical third dilated and bent downwards. Hind 
femur pale, with rather wide blackish stripe along the upper keel 
of externo-median area and brown lower keel; the inner side is 
bluish with dark brown stripe along the upper margin; knees 
unicolorous from above, with black side ring and pale lobes. Hind 
tibiae dull blue with a lighter ring near the base. 
Dimensions of the type male are: Length of body 29 mm.; 
of pronotum 5-5 mm.; of elytra 23 mm.; of hind femora 19 mm.
