Broader and more depressed elytra, and proportionallj shorter, 

 than in the preceding. 



Pycnojpsis rubricata. 



P. longius obovata, nigra, pube rnbro-fusca vestita ; prothorace 

 fortiter transverse; elytris fascia determiiiata rubra, ante medium 

 sita, ornatis. Long. 12 lin. 



Hah. Grahamstown (Cape). 



Oblong-ovate, black, covered with a dull reddish-brown pile ; 

 prothorax strongly transverse, the middle anteriorly striated ; 

 elytra coarsely punctured at the base, a determinate dull red 

 band placed well before the middle, another less distinct at 

 the tip, and between them another, but largely interrupted at 

 the suture ; antennse black, the third joint conspicuously longer 

 than the fourth. 



This species is more nearly allied to P. hrachyptera, but it 

 is duller and otherwise difierent in coloration, with much 

 longer elytra, the prothorax more transverse, &c. 



Ceroplesis aspei'sa. 



G. nigra, opaca, elytris maculis numerosis rufis sub trans versim 

 dispositis. Long, 14 lin. 



Hab. Usambara (East Africa). 



Opaque black, except a slight tinge of bronze at the base ot 

 the elytra, where they are also very distinctly punctured ; but 

 the punctures are much smaller posteriorly, each bearing a 

 minute white seta ; the intervals are apparently naked, but 

 under a strong lens a very delicate pubescence is visible; 

 unlike its congeners the two or three normal red bands are 

 replaced by a number of mostly somewhat transverse reddish 

 spots, by no means corresponding on the two elytra ; under- 

 part rather glossy, with a scattered pubescence ; antennae and 

 legs black. 



^lara variolosa. 



^. subangustata, paraUela, pallide brunnea et dense tomcntosa ', 

 elytris punctis impressis nitide nigris sat sparse sed conspicue 

 notatis, apicibus subtruncatis, singulis dentato-productis. Long.

Hah. Andaman Isles. 



The contour and well-marked glossy black punctures will 

 readily distinguish this species from its congeners. The 

 antennae are not quite so long as the body, the joints are ashy 

 mostly only at the base ; the head with a few impressed 

 punctures between the eyes ; prothorax rather sparsely punc-
