214 Mr. W. F. Kirby on African Pha?gonurida3. 



radial nervure of the tegmina is orange at the base, as well 

 as the front border of the pronotum ; the transverse nervures 

 of the tegmina are broadly yellow, narrowly edged behind 

 with black, and the inner marginal area is brownish yellow 

 except at the base, but may be slightly discoloured. The 

 hind femora are green, with a row of reddish-brown spots on 

 the inner side, and a double row of short stout yellow spines 

 beneath, most numerous on the outer carina. The tips of the 

 femora and the whole of the tibia? and tarsi are reddish. In 

 the faded Museum specimen the pale transverse lines of the 

 tegmina are bordered outside with pink. 



Until a larger series of fresh specimens is received, 1 

 should not be justified in separating Mr. Distant's specimen 

 as a distinct species.
