 LoQg., cf , 16 mm, 



Uganda: Sanga Masaka (C. C. Goiodey). 



A large species, easily recognized from all others. 



PJionolihes himaculatus, Dist. 



Distant has omitted the principal character of this species : 

 tlie non-reticulated corium, which has a single oblique trans- 

 verse vein in the mesocoriam. Tlie antennaj are broken in 

 the female specimen before me; in the male the third joint 

 is incrassated (as in Ph. tricolor, Bergr.), and I suppose that 

 this is a secondary male sexual character. 



Of this species I have also seen a brachypterous specimen 

 in which the hemelytra are convergent, only twice tlie length 

 of the scutellum, and with the membiane quite rudimentary. 



Nyasaland: between Mlanji and Zomba, 2000-3000 feet 

 (8. A. Neave) ; N.E. RHODESIA: Fort Jameson, 3800 feet
