This species is closely allied to T. variegata, Bertol., but is 

 much smaller in size and paler in hue. I found it on the open 

 veld amongst dwarf flowering plants. (W. L. D.) 



Ceroplesis capensis, Linn., var. n. 



Cerambyx capensis, Linn. Syst. Nat. ed. xii. p. 628 (1767). 



In this variety the red markings are almost entirely oblite- 

 rated and the colour uniformly blackish brown. 



Crossotus Uugiij sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 8.) 

 Crossotus sexpunctata, King, MS. Bej. Cat. ed. iii. p. 370. 



Greyish brown mottled with darker coloration and darkly and 

 coarsely punctate. Antennae finely pilose above, strongly hirsute 

 beneath, dark brownish, the joints (excluding basal) greyish at 

 their bases. Head with the front pale, marked by some dark 

 brown punctures, a black line behind base of antennae and a black 

 basal fascia; eyes black. Pronotum with some coarse, dark, 

 scattered punctures, a distinct fuscous transverse fascia near 

 anterior margin ; four well-developed discal tubercles, with two 

 central subobsolete ones between them, and two on each lateral 

 margin, the posterior ones much the longest. Scutellum 

 brownish grey, with a broad, central, blackish fascia. Elytra 

 thickly, darkly, and very coarsely punctate, with three black 

 tubercles on each side in longitudinal series, the anterior 

 smallest ; the central suture margined with small obscure 

 greyish spots. Body beneath and legs somewhat paler in hue, 

 coarsely punctured with brown ; apices of the tibiae and the 

 tarsi brown. 



Long. 12 to 14 millim. 



Allied to C. albicolliSj Guer., from West Africa, but the an- 

 tennae much less hairy. 



I found this. species on the stems of acacia trees, to which 

 their colour-markings gave them great protective resemblance.

In the immediate vicinity of Pretoria scrubby woods are 

 scarce, and consequently the numbers of Eupoda to be found
