Ethiopian Rhynchota [Heteroptera). 89 



Allied to C. intermedia, Dist., and C.ovata, Karscli, but 

 differing from both in having the third joint of the antennae 

 distinctly longer than the second. 



Damarius hicolor, sp. n. 



Indigo-blue ; head, three spots at apex of scutellum, legs, 

 basal abdominal spine, rostrum excluding apex, a central 

 segmental series of spots, apex of abdomen beneath, and first 

 and second joints of antennae, sanguineous ; antenna3 with 

 the first joint not reaching the apex of head, remaining joints 

 almost subequal in length ; head sparingly punctate, the 

 lateral lobes more or less transversely striate, eyes black j 

 pronotum thickly, somewhat coarsely punctate, about twice 

 as broad as long, the lateral margins sinuate, the posterior 

 angles subprominent ; scutellum from beyond basal area 

 centrally longitudinally slightly raised and levigate, on each 

 side of which the punctures are thicker and more confluent ; 

 corium smooth, opaque ; membrane shining black, the apical 

 margin greyish white; rostrum about reaching the posterior 

 coxfe; ventral spine reaching the intermediate coxai. 



Long. 16 mm.; exp. pronot. angl. 6^ ram. 



Hah. Uganda ; Mabira (C C. Gowdey^ Brit. Mus.). 



A larger and broader species than V. splendidulus, Fabr., 

 the lateral margins of the pronotum considerably less sinuate; 

 colour-markings very distinct. 



Gonopsis neavei, sp. n. 



Black ; scutellum, meso- and metasterna, abdomen beneath, 

 and posterior suffusions to prosternum pale testaceous, some- 

 times wholly testaceous ; more than basal half of lateral 

 margin to corium, and the connexivum, ochraceous; legs, 

 a broad central longitudinal fascia, and apex o£ abdomen 

 beneath, and small spots near spiracles, black; membrane 

 obscure greyish; rostrum either ochraceous suffused with 

 black, or black with ochraceous annulations ; a blackish spot 

 between anterior and intermediate coxae ; body very elongate ; 

 antennae black, second joint reaching apex of head, fifth joint 

 slightly longer than fourth and with its apex somewhat 

 obscure castaneous ; head with the lateral lobes long, porrect, 

 coarsely punctate, their apices acute but well separated from 

 each other ; pronotum with the lateral angles lougly, acutely, 

 transversely produced, before which the surface is obliquely 

 depressed to head and the lateral margins serrate, the 

 posterior half rugulose ; scutellum a little shorter than head
