Chariesthes nobilis (1894) Jord., Nov. Zool. i. p. 210. t. 10. f. T (Kuiln). 

 We liave from Beuito three specimens agreeing with the tvjie, and two others 

 in which the cream-colour of the elytra is very much red need, the elytra being black 

 with the following markings : a narrow irregular basal band, produced backwards at 

 the suture, four sublateral dots at equal distances between shoulder and apex, first 

 and fourth minute, a cordiform po.-itmcdiau sutural spot, and a round dot near suture 

 before apex. 



82. Graciella plena spec. nov. 



?. Kesembling trivittata. Differing from all the species of Graciella in the 

 elytra being rounded at apex, not distinctly truncate. Entirely testaceous, spotted 

 with white, only the segments 3 to 11 of the antenna being brownish, and the apex 

 of the mandibles blackish. A mesial vitta on frons and a small mesial spot on 

 occiput testaceous. Pronotum with three testaceous vittae, one mesial, the others 

 lateral. Scntellum white. Elytra with a round white sutural antemedian spot 

 common to both ; besides, each with the following white spots : a large basal one, 

 extending at basal edge from scutellum to shoulder, triangular, not reaching suture, 

 with the apex rounded, an elongate one behind middle near the snture, followed by 

 a similar one, which is joined to a small a]iical s-pot. On disc there are a small spot 

 behind shoulder, a larger rounded one liefore and another behind middle, besides 

 a small subapical lateral elongate spot.

One ?. 



The scape of the antenna is rough, as in the other species of Graciella. 



83. Graciella moea spec. nov. 



(??. Close to G. compacta, of which it may be only a geographical form. 

 DiflFers as follows : slenderer, occipital spot not bilobate ; basal patch of elytra 

 broader basally, not circular, but triangular, truncate at sutural side, convex at 

 outer side ; sutural patch situated in middle, not behind, and there is no small 

 sutural spot between it and scutellum ; antemedian lateral spot small, one subapical 

 spot near suture, no lateral one.

One pair. 



The insect described by Fairmaire as Chariasthes ajncalix in Ann. Soc. Ent. 

 Belg. 1S04. ji. 677 is a llapheniatitus. We have it from Lolodorf, Cameroons, 

 and Benito. It is easily recognised by the two black dorsal vittae of the prothorax. 

 The ochraceous and black species of Hapheniast us bear a close colour-resemblance 

 to Nupscrha. 



84. Hapheniastus donovani spec. nov. 



?. Large, robust. Testaceous and black, the jiale parts with an orange 

 pubescence. Head with a black patch behind eye, an orange interantennal jiatch 

 dividing on occiput, and cheek and anterior edge of frons likewise pubescent orange. 

 Antenna black, not longer than the body, third and fourth segments testaceous in 

 basal half or two-thirds, the following two or three segments brownish basally. 

 Prothorax as in //. apjicalis in shape, with a broad brownish black infra-lateral
