fourth, strongl}^ dilatecl, with rather dense and irregular 

 reticulation at the base and with a few sparse oblique venules 

 in the apical two-thirds ; externo-median area feebly dilated, 

 with sparse transverse venules ; discoid al area narrow, 

 slightly narrowed and feebly bent backwards apically, 

 irregularly and rather densely reticulated in the basal two- 

 thirds, where an irregular false vein is perceptible, while the 

 apical third is entirely hyaline, with a few^ transverse 

 venules ; interulnar area about twice as broad as the discoidal, 

 with sparse, not very regular, ti'ansverse venules; axillar 

 area with a false vein. 



General coloration buff. A darker fascia runs from the 

 hind margin of the eye across the upper half of the lateral 

 lobes of pronotum and the sides of mesonotum and meta- 

 notura. Wings with the basal half rose, the colour gradually 

 fading outwarclly. Hind femora pale, unicolorous, with ash- 

 grey semilunar spots ou the knees. Hind tilnse pale 

 sanguineous ; their base pale, with a dark streak on the 

 upperside; the spines white with the apical half black. 

 Hind tarsi sangnineous. 



? (paratype). Frontal ridge less distinctly impressed than 

 in the male. Mediastinal area of the elytra re;iching the 

 base of the apical third ; discoidal area a little broader than 

 in the male, with the irregular false vein almost reaching its 

 apex ; interulnar area only a little broader than the discoidal, 

 with two rows of rather large but irregular cells, separated 

 by a false vein reaching the apex. In other respects agrees 

 Avith the ma'e type, but without the dark lateral fascia ou 

 the head and pronotum ; this fascia is not constant in both 

 sexes and the general coloration is sometimes w^th a greenish

The male type and 9 paratypic specimens of both sexes 

 were takeu in April 1921 near Pretoria l)y Mr. J. C. Faure, 

 and I have great pleasure in naming this very distinct new 

 genus after that entomologist. There is also one male in the 

 British Museum, taken also at Pretoria by Mr. W. Distant 

 and named by Mr. F. Kirby as Anthernius granosus, Stal 

 (this is one of three specimens recorded in Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 London, 1902, p. 101, no. 99, the two others being named 

 correctly).
