Squarer, and the triangular projection of the middle over the 
head is not so great and is wider; the posterior angles are 
- rounded at the points and channelled, ‘The elytra are widest 
about the middle, and slope more gently both backwards and 
forwards ; the swollen lateral expansion is longer, narrower, and 
- not so tumid; the humeral blade is longer; the suture in the 
male is curved concavely behind the middle, and the apex 
truncate obliquely, terminating at the sutural angle in a sharp 
little yellow tooth; in the female the suture is straight, and 
the apex rounded ovately ; tibie simple. . 
. This I think the handsomest of the West-African Lycide, 
It is apparently rather rare, not many specimens having 
reached me. 
§ 3, Elongate, attenuate at the apex; the elytra in neither sex expanded 
nor armed with blades or spines on the shoulders.

_ Of this I received several specimens, divisible into two 
groups, one larger than the other, and with longer and propor- 
tionately more slender antenne: they were, doubtless, the 
sexes, the one with longer antenne probably the male. The 
abdomen in some is black, but in most is slightly margined 
with yellow; and the median black stripe on the thorax is 
broader in some than in others.

{A portion of the following translation was prepared some 
years ago; but the difficulty of accepting the author’s conclu- 
sions, without some modification which there was then no means 
of verifying, caused it to be laid aside. Quite recently I have 
received from Professor Seguenza a number of specimens, the 
careful examination of which has led to results differing in one 
or two important particulars from those detailed in his paper,
