The type is from Salisbury, Maslionaland, 11. xi. 1905 

 (G. A. K. Marshall) ; four other paratypie males and two 

 females are from the same locality ; oue female from 

 Pretoria, iv. 1921 (/. C. Faure) ; one female from Morieo, 

 Transvaal, i. 1918. 



The dimensions of the female given above are taken 

 from the specimen labelled by I. Bolivar as a cotype of 

 Ph. man-haUi, Bol. (undescribed). This specimen and some 

 otiiers of the series are not so vividly coloured as the type ; 

 the black fascise on the head and pronotum may be very 

 little developed or altogether wanting. The inside of the 

 hind femora is sometimes orange-red. The interulnar area 

 in the male is sometimes less regularly reticulated and with 

 ail indication of a false vein. 



6. Phorenula gracilis, sp. n. 



cJ . Smaller than any other known species. Antennse 

 extending a little beyond the hind margin of the pronotum. 

 Frontal ridge flat, with very obtuse margins, feebly narrowed 

 at the fastigium, with rather large but sparse puncturation. 

 Fastigium of the vertex oval, with the apex somewhat acute, 

 I'eebly impressed, with a very feeble, arched, transverse sul- 

 cus ; its margins convergent behind and emitting irregular 

 lateral occipital keels ; median keel beginning behind the 

 arched sulcus and prolonged on to the occiput, but not 

 reaching the pronotum ; temporal foveolpe fairly well de- 

 veloped, rotundato-rhomboidal, narrowed anteriorly and 

 posteriorly. Pronotum neither compressed laterally nor 

 constricted ; median keel strongly raised, cut by the typical 

 sulcus just before the middle; lateral keels well developed, 

 distinctly convergent between the fore margin and the first 

 sulcus and strongly divergent behind that sulcus, almost 

 reaching the hind margin ; actual lateral margins of the 

 pronotal disc indicated less distinctly than in Ph. marshalli, 

 Uvar. ; fore margin of the pronotum rounded ; hind angle 

 straight ; the surface of the disc neither rugulose nor 

 punctured, smooth but not shining ; lateral lobes coarsely 

 punctured and rugulose. Elytra extending a little beyond 

 the hiud knees ; their venation as in Ph. marshalli, but the
