Ocliraceous or reddish ochraceous; head, transverse fascia 

 at anterior margin of pronotuni, basal margin of scutelluni, 

 and membrane black ; body beneath ochraceous or reddish 

 ochraceous, the sternal and abdominal segments broadly 

 transversely fasciated with black ; legs, antennae, and 

 rostrum black ; ocelli, eyes, and nodule behind eyes purplish 

 red, ocelli nearer to eyes than to each other; antcnnte witli 

 the first joint moderately thickened, short, passing apex of 

 head, second and fourth joints almost subequal in length, 

 each longer than third ; pronotuni thickly punctate and 

 wrinkled, with a moderately prominent central longitudinal 

 lidge; corium finely punctate ; rostrum reacliing the poste- 

 rior coxse.

 M. Robertson), Mabira Forest [S. A. Neave) ; Brit. E. 

 Africa, Nandi escarpment and plateau {S. A. JS'eave'}. 



Bergroth identified and returned a specimer» of this species 

 labelled " S. gi-iseiventn's, Westw./' witii other species to 

 which he alklded (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x. p. li)l, 

 1912). It is, however, quite unlike that specits, and even 

 the meagre description given by Westwood should prevent 

 this confusion. 



Serinetha interinedia, sp, n. 



A species resembling S. nifjrofasciata in genoial ma)kijii:;s 

 above and in the only moderately developed longitudinal 

 ridge to the ))ionotum ; it, however, possesses bhtck lateral 

 margins to the corium, as in S. mutilato, Gerst., although 

 much more narrowly black than in that species, the body 

 beneath is also almost uniformly ochraceous, and the legs 

 brownish ochraceous ; the head is fuscous, not black, from 

 the area of the ocelli to ap^x; the lateral margins of the 

 pronotuni very narrowly fuscous or black; the pronotuni is 

 thickly, somewhat coarsely ])unctatc', with the anterior trans- 

 verse black fascia as in S. inutilato,', the body is narrower 

 and more compressed than in the other two species mentioned 

 above. 



Long. 10 mm,
