C. amyntor^ Kl. (Peters's ' Reise n. Alossambique,' p. 242), 

 is from Sena : — " Am almlichsten ist diese der C caffra, 

 deren v. Winthem in einem Vcrzeicliniss cafFrisclier Insecten 

 erwiilint. Sie bildet den Ueber/rano: zu der um eiue Linie 

 klemeren C. orion^ Dej., von Senegal. Von beiden Arten ist 

 sie unterschieden durcii den oben nicht glatten, sonst durcli 

 Punkte und Runzeln uneben Kopf mit dem daraiif sitzenden, 

 an der hinteren Seite flachen, hockerigen, vor der Mitte 

 deutlicli zweigezalinten Horn und dem in beiden Geschlecli- 

 tern sfcarken und dichten fast Ubcrall punctirten Halsschild." 



It appears to me from tliese extracts that G. orion, Kb, is 

 more strongly punctured than C. lunaris, which is scarcely 

 the case with C. orion^ Bohcman; and C. amyntor^ Kb, is 

 still more strongly punctured, and moreover has the head 

 rugose. The species which I have identified as G. amyntor 

 we have received from South Africa and Nyassa. From 

 description I should think it possible that G. obesa^ Bohem., 

 is the female of this species. 



The following notes may be of service in determining the 

 species of this group : —
