wider. In the two examples before me, the neglecta are a little longer 
and the female is proportionally narrower, but with the same elongate 
oval outline. Further Dejean avers that the eyes of neg/ecta protrude 
a little more, but this difference is not apparant in my examples. 
The pattern is identical in the two races, a little more broadly 
developed in the male neg/ecta than in the same sex of discoidea. 
The inter orbital striation and sculpture is a trifle coarser in the 
former than in the latter. The labra are identical in both races and 
are shaped exactly as in those of intermedia, Klug.; the same equally 
applies to the prothoracic and elytral contours of these three races in 
both sexes. There is a slightly greater inclination in the male 
neglecta to the rounding of the apical angles of the prothorax, but the 
female, presumably, from the same country has it as elongate and 
straight as in any examples of discoidea and intermedia that I have 
met with. The antenne are unfortunately wanting in all but the 
female discoidea, which, however, shows the same slender tapering 
characteristics that pertain to intermedia, relatively perhaps a trifle 
shorter. With the very limited material at my disposal, it would be 
rash for me to say more, than that there are good grounds for believing 
these three races may form a distinct section, discoidea being the con- 
necting link between neglecta and intermedia. 
Dr. Peringeuy has generously entrusted to me for examination and 
comparison his types of C’. herero and C’. damara. 
The race which I tentatively assigned to the former proves to have 
been rightly determined by me, in my previous paper on the group. 
C. damarais a more difficult subject to tackle and the type, a female, 
is unfortunately minus the antenne. The figure of it in the author’s 
Descriptive Catalogue, 1896, Plate I, is misleading, for it portrays a 
short broad insect with the robust facies of C. candida, Boh. and this 
is enhanced by the pattern which is very similar to that of the variety 
mixta, Chd. Dr. Peringuey’s description (vide S.A. Trans. Phil. Soc., 
Vol. VII, p. 35) correctly defines it, ‘‘elytra elongated nearly plane 
on the upper part,” but omits to add that the sides are sub-parallel 
for about 2 their length, an unusual occurence in the females of the 
group and very different to the ampliate slightly convex figure of 
C. candida, female. The labrum is as the author describes it “ convex 
in the centre, triangular in front, tridentate at apex,” and, in this 
respect again, it differs materially from that of candida, as it does 
also in its less produced mandibles. The prothorax of candida is 
transverse, that of damara is longer than broad. The lateral 
margins have a narrow fringe of white hairs, the disc being almost
