  Mr. 
  H. 
  E. 
  Andre 
  wes 
  on 
  the 
  

  

  fact 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  that 
  Cychrus 
  reflexus 
  (1801) 
  = 
  Pimelia 
  

   fasciata 
  (1792) 
  = 
  Carahus 
  angulatus 
  (1781). 
  Both 
  Hope 
  

   (Col. 
  Man. 
  ii, 
  1838, 
  66 
  and 
  92) 
  and 
  Schaum 
  (Stett. 
  Ent. 
  

   Zeit. 
  1847, 
  42) 
  go 
  into 
  the 
  matter, 
  though 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  

   bring 
  out 
  all 
  the 
  facts. 
  Hope 
  (I.e. 
  66) 
  proposed 
  the 
  genus 
  

   Camptoderiis 
  for 
  C. 
  reflexus 
  Fab., 
  but 
  did 
  not 
  describe 
  it 
  ; 
  

   by 
  the 
  time 
  he 
  got 
  to 
  p. 
  165 
  he 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  forgotten 
  

   about 
  this, 
  and 
  without 
  explanation 
  proposed 
  and 
  briefly 
  

   described 
  the 
  genus 
  CraspedojiJiorus 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  insect. 
  

   Motchulsky 
  (Et. 
  Ent. 
  1855, 
  69) 
  went 
  quite 
  astray, 
  and 
  

   Mr. 
  Alluaud, 
  who 
  has 
  quite 
  recently 
  published 
  descriptions 
  

   of 
  new 
  African 
  species 
  of 
  Eudema 
  (Bull 
  Soc. 
  Ent. 
  Fr. 
  1915, 
  

   152), 
  has 
  unfortunately 
  followed 
  him 
  rather 
  than 
  Hope 
  

   and 
  Schaum. 
  

  

  I 
  give 
  a 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  species, 
  but 
  the 
  type 
  is 
  de- 
  

   fective. 
  Fortimately 
  there 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  

   Collection 
  another 
  example 
  labelled 
  " 
  W. 
  Africa," 
  and 
  

   this 
  has 
  enabled 
  me 
  to 
  add 
  some 
  details 
  which 
  would 
  

   otherwise 
  have 
  been 
  w^anting. 
  

  

  Craspedophorus 
  reflexus 
  Fab. 
  Length 
  29 
  mill. 
  Width 
  

   9 
  mill. 
  

  

  Elongate, 
  prothorax 
  roughly 
  sculptured, 
  with 
  widely 
  reflexed 
  

   margins. 
  Black, 
  elytra 
  with 
  four 
  transverse 
  orange 
  spots, 
  the 
  

   apical 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  joint 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  palpi 
  yellow. 
  

  

  Head 
  elongate, 
  width 
  3"5 
  mill., 
  labrum 
  a 
  little 
  emarginate, 
  clypeal 
  

   suture 
  invisible, 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  between 
  the 
  antennae 
  raised, 
  

   smooth, 
  and 
  polished, 
  rugose 
  and 
  coarsely 
  punctured 
  in 
  the 
  frontal 
  

   furrows 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  vertex. 
  Mentum 
  wide, 
  with 
  a 
  short 
  truncated 
  

   tooth. 
  Mandibles 
  short 
  and 
  strong, 
  hooked 
  at 
  the 
  tip. 
  Hope's 
  

   figures 
  for 
  these 
  parts 
  (I.e. 
  t. 
  3, 
  f 
  . 
  la 
  and 
  16) 
  are 
  fairly 
  good. 
  Maxillae 
  

   strongly 
  curved 
  at 
  tip, 
  elongate 
  and 
  very 
  sharp. 
  The 
  type 
  has 
  lost 
  

   all 
  the 
  palpi, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  present 
  in 
  the 
  second 
  specimen 
  and 
  are 
  

   very 
  long. 
  The 
  ante-penultimate 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  maxillaries 
  is 
  about 
  

   as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  first 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  antennae, 
  the 
  penultimate 
  joint 
  

   of 
  both 
  pairs 
  two-thirds 
  of 
  this 
  length, 
  and 
  the 
  apical 
  joint 
  three- 
  

   quarters. 
  The 
  outer 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  apical 
  joint 
  is 
  tlu^ee 
  times 
  as 
  

   long 
  as 
  the 
  iimer 
  one, 
  and 
  the 
  apical 
  margin 
  is 
  slightly 
  hollowed 
  

   out; 
  this 
  joint 
  is 
  almost 
  identical 
  in 
  both 
  maxillaries 
  and 
  labials. 
  

   The 
  type 
  has 
  lost 
  all 
  but 
  the 
  first 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  antennae, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  

   second 
  specimen 
  joint 
  3=1 
  + 
  2 
  = 
  4 
  H- 
  5, 
  but 
  1 
  is 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  

   as 
  2, 
  and 
  4 
  is 
  very 
  slightly 
  shorter 
  than 
  5. 
  

  

  The 
  representation 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax 
  in 
  Hope's 
  figure 
  is
