from the fastigium towards the mediaii ocellus, siuUlcnly 

 constricted below the latter, then gradually widened towards 

 the clyiieus ; its margins almost rca(hin<f the clypeus. 

 Mesosternal interspace distinctly broader than one of the 

 lobes. JNletasternal interspace about half as broad as 

 the mesosternal, and twice as broad as long. Elytra 

 extending only a little beyond the hind knees. Wings 

 more narrow than in the male. Coloration much the 

 same as in the male, but with better-pronounced markings. 

 Elytra with two rather broad fasciaj in the marginal area, 

 and with two rows of spots in the discoidal and in the 

 anal areas. Wings less strongly iufumate than in the male, 

 with the base, apex, outer margin, and very narrow rays 

 along the principal veins somewhat hyaline. Hind femora 

 with three distinct fascife on the upper ^^ide. Hind tibiai 

 dotted with brown and with a blackish line along the lower 

 margin.

The male type was taken between Dealesville and Bloem- 

 fontein, Orange Free State, 19. v. 1917, and the female 

 paratype at Bloemfontein, 13. ii. 1918 ; these are the only 

 two specimens known. 



The species is easily recognisable by the peculiar colora- 

 tion of the wings, apart from the good morphological 

 characters presented by the head, pronotum, and the vena- 

 tion of elytra. 



Subfamily Ftsgomospeikm. 

 Phymella, gen. nov. 



Somewhat recalling Chrotogonus in its habitus, but not 

 so strongly depressed, and with the head, and especially the 

 pronotum, far more strongly tubereulate. 



Antennaj placed below the ocelli and a little above the 

 middle of the eyes ; in the female distinctly, in the male 

 scarcely shiorter than the head and pronotum, thick, scarcely 

 depressed, the joints a "little longer than broad. Face 

 strongly reclinate ; frontal ridge in profile obtusaugulately 

 broken just below the middle ocellus, narrowly sulcata 

 throughout, but not reaching the clypeus, between the 

 antenuaj compressed but only feebly prominent. Lateral
