Chilomenes picticollis, sp. n. 
Orbicularis, fere hemispherica, nigra, fere levis; capite pro- 
thoraceque albidis, hoc maculis duabus triquetris discoidalibus, 
basi tenuiter (utrinque angulariter) dilatato, punctisque duobus 
oblongis sublateralibus, interdum cum basi ligatis nigris; elytris 
testaceis, sutura, margineque tenui, et scutello nigris; pedibus 
nigris ; tibiis, tarsis, femorumque apicibus testaceis. 
Long. 4:5-5 millim. 
Hab. Natal, Estcourt (Marshall). 
Orbicular, the width equal to the length ; thorax twice and 
a half or three times as wide as long, front angles acute and 
depressed, their margins with those of the sides very narrowly 
reflexed and black. The markings are:—two triangular 
spots on each side of the middle; their longest axis is trans- 
verse and their bases are opposed; two oblong spots near 
each side, in one of two examples sent united to the narrow 
black base; the basal black line widens into an angular 
denticulation on each side. The elytra are very obsoletely 
punctured ; their black margin commences a little before the 
shoulders, and occupies the slightly expanded margin, 
becoming very narrow at the apex, the suture very finely 
margined with black, ‘The scutellum is black and impune- 
tate. The body beneath is black, but each abdcminal segment 
has a small yellow spot on each side ; the legs are black, with 
yellow tibie and tarsi; the tips of the femora and the 
trochanters are also yellowish. 
This insect has the appearance at first sight of many 
South-African Coccinellidee ; in particular it resembies 
Ganopia cinctella, Muls., though the orbicular shape and the 
smaller size are different, the latter being an oblong insect of 
6 millim. which occurs at the Cape (Stellenbosch). It is also, 
as Herr Weise, to whom I sent one, remarks, distinct by the 
remarkable pattern of the thorax.
