the posterior angle of the inner tegminal margin ; tegmina 
somewhat short and broad, three transverse series of promi- 
nent cells, four apical, three discoidal, and two subbasal ; 
legs robust, but anterior tibiz not dilated. 
This genus is allied to Centrotus, but differs from that. 
and allied genera by the peculiar and distinct venation of 
the tegmina. 
Centrotusoides muiri, sp. 0. 
Pronotum fuscous brown, frontal area and discal base 
more or less ochraceous; legs fuscous, the apices of the 
femora and the tibiz ochraceous, lateral areas of sternum 
(excluding basal angle) greyishly tomentose; tegmina sub- 
hyaline, the basal area ochraceous, the venation brownish 
ochraceous ; pronotum finely punctate, with the apices of 
the lateral processes obtusely pointed and very slightly 
recurved ; other structural characters as in generic 
diagnosis. 
Long., incl. tegm.,64 mm.; exp. lat. pronot. process. 5 mm. 
Hab. Natal; Durban (F. Muir). 
Centrotusoides wealet, sp. n. 
Pronotum fuscous brown, frontal area and discal base 
more or less brownish ochraceous; legs pale fuscous brown ; 
lateral areas of sternum (excluding basal angle) greyishly 
tomentose ; tegmina subhyaline, the basal angle and the 
venation brownish ochraceous ; pronotum finely punctate, 
the disk strongly centrally carinate, the apices of the lateral 
processes broadly truncate, not recurved, the posterior pro- 
cess somewhat greyishly tomentose above the scutellum. 
Long., incl. tegm., 63 mm.; exp. lat. pronot. process.

Hab. 8S. Africa (Mansell Weale). 
This species differs structurally from the preceding 
(C. muiri) by the apically truncated anterior lateral processes 
of the pronotum. 
The late Mr. Mansell Weale’s collection of Rhynchota, 
which I purchased many years ago, and which is now incor- 
porated in the collection of the British Museum, was gene- 
rally not locally labelled, but only described as from South 
Africa. 
BEAUFORTIANA, gen. DOv. 
Allied to the preceding genus (Centrotusotdes), but differing 
by the venation of the tegmina, which possesses only four
