leeteque pictum ; prothorace ad latera spina media parva instructo ; 
antennis pedibusque breviter cinereo-pubescentibus, illis nigre- 
scentibus corpore longioribus, his ferrugineis. 
Long. corp. 6-7 lin. 
Habitat “ad varios frutices spinosos regionis littoralis.”’—Dom. 
Welwitsch. 
T.cylindricum, angustum. Caput flavo-albidum, linea frontali trans- 
versa inter antennas oculosque (utrinque extra oculos producta) nec- 
non plaga postica longitudinali triangulari centrali atris. Prothorax 
antice et postice capitis latitudine, ad latera utrinque paulo rotun- 
datus et spina media minutissima instructus, mox ante basin leviter 
tranversim constrictus; flavo-albidus, linea latissima dorsali atra 
notatus ; margine basali trisinuato. Z/ytra parallela, flavo-albida, 
sutura, apice, fasciis duabus magnis profunde dentatis (sc. subapicali 
et postmedia), per marginem exteriorem anguste connexis, maculis 
duabus parvis subsuturalibus (sc. antemedia et sub-basali) in lineam 
suturalem evanescentibus, necnon duabus versus humeros, omnibus 
in utroque positis, atris ornata. Antenne nigrescentes, sed brevis- 
sime et tenuissime cinereo-pubescentes, corpore (preesertim in sexu 
foemineo) longiores. Pedes ferruginei, brevissime cinereo-pubes- 
centes. 
A beautiful and most elegant Longicorn, and one which ap- 
pears to be quite distinct from every species of the genus, or of 
Tragocephala, which has hitherto been described. It seems to 
be somewhat allied to the 7. gracilicornis of Chevrolat, from 
Port Natal. I am glad to have an opportunity of dedicating it 
to my excellent friend Dr. F. Welwitsch, whose vast botanical 
researches are likely to throw much light on the flora of that 
interesting region, and by whom the insect has been lately dis- 
covered.

V.—On two new Rhynchophorous Insects from Angola. 
By T. Vernon Wo ttasrton, M.A., F.L.S. 
Havine lately received from the Bardo do Castello de Paiva a 
small but valuable consignment of Coleoptera collected by Dr. 
C. Welwitsch at Angola, I have selected the following two spe- 
cies, from a family in which I am more peculiarly interested, that 
I may append them to the paper of my learned friend, as some 
slight recognition of his varied services in the cause of science. 
And I feel glad, at the same time, to be permitted to couple 
with his name that of so acute and eminent a naturalist as Dr. 
Welwitsch, whose labours in this most interesting and but little- 
known region of Western Africa have been pursued with un- 
wearied diligence for many years.
