wliich is still broader and placed midway between the centre 

 and apex. 



The antennce are entirely black, also the underside and 

 hgSj which are sinning, with longish black hairs ; the inside 

 ot the tibia and femora are clothed with pale yellowish sliort 

 pubescence. 



Length 15, breadth 7 millim. 



Hah. Kambole, E. Africa. 



Collected and presented by W. H. Nutt, Esq. 



This species somewhat resembles in marking and colouring 

 Ceroctis Yerhuryij Gahan ; but the bands are more sinuated 

 than those of the latter and the colouring not quite so vivid. 



Ceroctis vellerosa, sp. n. 



Black, densely and entirely covered with a tliick yellow 

 pubescence, which is longer and more strongly marked on 

 the underside. The puncturing of the head and prothorax 

 not visible, owing to the dense yellow pubescence, wliich is 

 interspersed with long black hairs. 



The elytra^ which are closely and finely punctured, may 

 be said to be either black, with deep yellow markings, or, on 

 the other hand, yellow, with black markings. Considering 

 the elytra to be black, the yellow markings are, firstly, on 

 the basal half of the elytron, a long oval ring with a black 

 spot ni its centre, suturally, outside which there is a straight 

 yellow line starting from the shoulder ; on the posterior half 

 of the elytron there are two triangular yellow markings oppo- 

 site each other anteriorly and a yellow spot near the apex. 



Antennce black, with the usual characteristics of Ceroctis. 

 The underside^ legs, and tarsi all black and clothed with 

 yellow j)ubescence. 



Length 15, breadth 6 millim.

Ceroctis rujimemhris, sp. n. 



Black, covered with short yellow pubescence, much thicker 

 and longer on the underside. Head, prothorax, and elytra 

 finely and closely punctured. Elytra black, somewhat opaque, 

 each elytron with a long narrow band of yellow extending 

 the whole length of the outer margin, widening at intervals, 

 and continued as a narrow transverse apical band ; nearer 

 the suture four small oval yellow spots — the first on the 

 shoulder midway between the outer margin and suture, the 

 second just beneath the first, but almost touching the suture,
