There are two specimens in the British Museum. 
T. flaviventris is closely similar to T. tibialis, but the 
lower surface, as well as the legs and antenne, is pale, 
and the pale basal patches of the elytra unite at the suture 
and do not extend to the shoulders. It is rather larger, 
relatively broader, with the pronotum more strongly punc- 
tured, the tibiz much less dilated at the ends, the antennal 
club more loosely jointed and less short and broad, and the 
eyes not very small or very finely facetted.

Oxp Caxapar (A. Murray). 
The two specimens from which this is described formerly 
belonged to the late Alexander Fry, who obtained them from 
Murray’s collection, from which also P. andree and hume- 
ralis were described by Crotch. Whether all were actually 
collected in Old Calabar is perhaps a little doubtful, for 
P. coccinelloides, Crotch, and P. dorsalis, Gorh., were also 
attributed by Murray to the same locality, and the former 
at least certainly does not occur there, belonging to South- 
Eastern Africa (Nyasaland, Portuguese East Africa, Trans-- 
vaal, Natal, etc.). Specimens in the British Museum which 
I have identified as P. andree are from the French Congo. 
The male has in that species a conspicuous round area of an 
opaque texture upon the posterior half of the elytra. The 
two specimens of P. nigrocinctus are both males, and the 
hinder part of the elytra is less shining than the remaining _ 
surface, but the area is not definitely circumscribed nor con- 
spicuous, The red colour is much brighter than in the other 
species, and the black band is much wider, occupying more 
than a third of their length.
