290 Mr. W. F. Kirby on a 



Stenopihma pallicornisy sp. n. 



Long. Corp. 13-14 millim., lat. 6 millim. 



Female. — Black, thickly and finely punctured, more finely 

 on the hinder segments ot" the abdomen. Head black ; an- 

 tennaj, antennal cavities, sides and lower part of t'aco, legs, a 

 narrow line extending round the whole thorax and abdomen, 

 cerei, and more or less of the face and subterminal plate 

 below rufo- testaceous or reddish; rim of pronotum upcurved, 

 hinder angles produced backwards into a tooth ; meso- and 

 metanotum with the hinder angles slightly recurved. Eyes 

 rather wide apart. 



2, Pretoria [Distant). 



One of these specimens is labelled 6'. capucina, Gerst. ; but 

 capucina is a much larger species, with the head redder and 

 the antenna darker, besides other slight differences which 

 may be noticed in the description. There appear to be many 

 closely allied species of this genus. 



Cyrtotria scabra. 



Pensj>h(Bria scabra, Walk. Cat. Blatt. p. 172. n. 17 (18G8). 



1, Pretoria {Distant). 



Walker's type is said to come from South Africa, near the 

 Tropic of Capricorn. 



Derocalymma (?) elateroides. 

 Perisphteria elateroides, Walk. Cat. Blatt. p. 176. n. 24 (1868). 



1, Barberton (Rendall) ; Natal (Gueinzius) (Nat. Hist. 

 Mus.). 



The hood of this species is interrupted in the middle, the 

 carinje being complete ; but I prefer to place doubtful forms 

 in Derocalymma till they are better known. The short stout 

 form of the insect resembles that of Pronaonota. 



Derocalymma versicolor. 



Derocalymma versicolor, Burm, Handb. Eut. ii. p. 487. n. 9 (1838) ; 

 Brunii. Syst. Blatt. p. 317 (le'C5). 



1, Blantyre {Elson) ; 1, Delagoa Bay (JunoJ). 

 Two female specimens, which I refer to this species with 

 some doubt.
