Bay, the black pattern is evanescent, leaving only more or less rounded 
dots and spots to represent a pattern.* The elytra are short, sub-oval 
and a little convex in both sexes. The mandibles are long and cross 
one another at some distance above the labrum. The labrum is short 
and but little produced medially in either sex. The antenne are of. 
medium length; the ultimate joint sharply truncated at tip. The 
prothorax is robust, nearly straight, almost as long as broad and _pro- 
fusely covered with white hairs. It frequents the sand dunes of the 
foreshore and is not generally found far inland. I have, however, a 
male of a slightly modified candida which is labelled as from Caledon, 
Cape Province. It is a little more elongate and hardly convex, but 
in other respects a typical candida. 
There are four examples (two males and two females) before me of 
a form from Okahandja, Damaraland, which I tentatively assign to C. 
herero, Per. They agree fairly well in regard to colour and pattern 
with the author’s description, which is far too brief and does not say 
whether it was taken from one or more specimens, or whether both 
sexes were represented. 
C’. candida, Boh. (as a sub-species of which Dr. Horn has placed C. 
herero), shows but little difference in the shape of the sexes. In this 
form herero? the females alone are much ampliated medially. The 
place of their capture which is in the centre of Hereroland, a little 
north of Windhuk, suggests the probability of its being identical with 
‘““herero,” but, whether it be this form or some other, its affinities lie 
between C. differens Horn and C. candida, Boh. ‘This form herero, 
Per? recurs, but slightly modified, at Willowmore and vicinity, Cape 
Province, from which place I have received, through the courtesy of 
Dr. Brauns, some twelve examples. 
The following is a description of the race herero? and the Willow- 
more form of it. It should be remembered that nearly a thousand miles 
separate Okahandja from Willowmore, and, so far, I have no record of 
its occurrence in the intervening country, though I think there is little 
doubt but that it will be found later in those parts of the Karroo and 
the fringes of the Kalahari which are traversed by river systems. 
Race herervo, Pér. Mandibles as long as those of differens crossing 
one another at some distance above the labrum. Labrum short sub- 
quadrate in the males and briefly sub-triangular in the females. 
Inter ocular striation absent or very feeble. 
Antenne ; male short ; articulations beyond the 4th of even width 
except the ultimate, which is depressed, and spatulate truncate ; in 
the female normal.
