Three new Species of the Genus Iletica. 139 
I have named this and the following species after Messrs. 
Waterhouse and Gahan, in recognition of the kindness and 
help I have received from them while studying the collection 
under their charge. 
Iletica Gahant, sp.n. (PI. VI. B. fig. 1.) 
Head slightly narrowed in front, entirely black, shining, 
very thickly and coarsely punctured, a remarkably deep fovea 
in the centre of the forehead; eyes black; palpi and labrum 
tinged with red; antenne black. 
Prothorax rather longer than broad, very shining, black, 
with a large brownish-red spot on each side ; anterior and 
sides slightly pubescent, posterior finely and sparsely punc- 
tured and glabrous ; a marked central longitudinal impression 
‘ with two fovee on either side, one towards the centre large 
and deep, the other more anterior, small, and somewhat 
faint. 
Scutellum black, finely and thickly punctured, slightly 
pubescent. 
Llyira half as broad again as prothorax, very rugose, 
shining, coarsely and thickly punctured, glabrous, each 
elytron with four well-defined raised lines strongly developed 
basally, but becoming fainter towards the apex; their basal 
third reddish yellow, infuscated towards suture and with a 
black humeral spot; remainder black, with a narrow trans- 
verse yellow band just past half the length of the elytron. 
Underside and legs, including femora, tibie, and_ tarsi, 
entirely black, clothed with fine yellowish pubescence. 
Length 28, breadth 10 millim. 
Hab. Dar-es-Salaam, E. Africa. 
Iletica castanea, sp.n. (PI. VI.B. fig. 3.) 
Head entirely red-brown, almost glabrous, and very shining, 
coarsely punctured; the vertex more finely and _ sparsely 
punctured; a very marked longitudinal groove down the 
centre, the groove as deeply impressed posteriorly as ante- 
riorly. 
Antenne and palpi red-brown. 
Prothorax red-brown, infuscated anteriorly, broader than 
long, the sides obliquely convergent in front and behind, the 
base sharply margined, the anterior half transversely de- 
pressed, pubescent, and more thickly punctured than on the 
posterior half, where it is almost glabrous and yery shining ; 
median channel not strongly developed, a fovea on either 
side.
