from the fastigium towards the median ocellus, suddenly 
constricted below the latter, then gradually widened towards 
the clypeus; -its margins almost reaching the clypeus. 
Mesosternal interspace distinctly broader than one of the 
lobes. Metasternal interspace about half as broad as 
the mesosternal, and twice as broad as long. Elytra 
extending only a little beyond the hind knees. Wings 
more narrow than in the male. Coloration much the 
same as in the male, but with better-pronounced markings. 
Elytra with two rather broad fascize in the marginal area, 
and with two rows of spots in the discoidal and in the 
anal areas. Wings less strongly infumate than in the male, 
with the base, apex, outer margin, and very narrow rays 
along the principal veins somewhat hyaline. Hind femora 
with three distinct fasciz on the upper side. Hind tibize 
dotted with brown and with a blackish line along the lower 
margin.

The male type was taken between Dealesville and Bloem- 
fontein, Orange Free State, 19. v. 1917, and the female 
paratype at Bloemfontein, 13.11. 1918 ; these are the only 
two specimens known. 
The species is easily recognisable by the peculiar colora- 
tion of the wings, apart from the good morphological 
characters presented by the head, pronotum, and the vena- 
tion of elytra. 
Subfamily Prreouorrurr.. 
PHYMELLA, gen. nov. 
Somewhat recalling Chrotogonus in its habitus, but not 
so strongly depressed, and with the head, and especially the 
pronotum, far more strongly tuberculate. 
Antenne placed below the ocelli and a little above the 
middle of the eyes; in the female distinctly, in the male 
scarcely shorter than the head and pronotum, thick, scarcely 
depressed, the joints a little longer than broad. Face 
strongly reclinate; frontal ridge in profile obtusangulately 
broken just below the middle ocellus, narrowly sulcate 
throughout, but not reaching the clypeus, between the 
autenne compressed but only feebly prominent. Lateral
