P^r.), pinguifi. Per., zamhesicola, Pcir., repensa, Per., and 

 denudciy Arr. A, cerea is the largest and most stoutly built 

 of them all, the female being rather larger and more robust 

 than the male and the puncturatioii rather stronger. 



From specimens in our collection I believe Mr. Peringuey 

 has been misled in recording the claw-structure of A. repensa 

 and intrusa, an occurrence which is very liable to happen, as 

 specimens abnormal in this respect are not uncommon. In 

 this way 1 was myself misled into describing the claws of 

 Nongoma calcarata^ Arr., as differing sexually, whereas they 

 are normally alike.

Seven specimens of this species are all males. In the 

 absence of the other sex I should have refrained from 

 describing it, but for its very well-marked and unusual 

 colouring. The head and thorax are bright yellow, except 

 for the hind margin and a roughly triangular patch in each 

 hind angle of the latter, whicli are black. The elytra are 

 entirely jet-black and shining, their surface rather th.ickly 

 punctured. There are no stripe, but some of the punctures 

 form quite indistinct series. The pygidium is closely and 

 aciculately punctured, reddish testaceous, and generally more 

 or less infuscate at the sides. 



JSannopopilUa Damara, Ohaus. 



A good series of a very variable insect, which I identify 

 with Dr. Ohaus's Daniaraland form, was brought from Iluilla 

 by Dr. Welwitsch. Only a ^qw of them show the type of 

 colouring described by Dr. Ohaus!, in which there is a large 

 yellow stripe upon each elytron. The greater number have
