11. Zygaenodes feruandus, no v. spec, (text-fig.- 1). 



cf. Rufo-brunneus, luteo variegatus, griseo pubescens, brun- 

 neo guttatus, scutello albo. Oculi rotundi antice leviter emarginati. 

 Antennae elytrorum medium vix attingentes, articulo 3. io clavi- 

 formi, 9.° undecimo longitudine aequali ac paulo longiore quam 

 decimo. Elytrum bituberculatum , interstitiis alternis postice sub- 

 costatis guttulis parum elevatis instructis. 

 Long. 3,3 mm., lat. 1,7 mm. 



Hab. ' Fernando Po , one cf •' Bahia de S. Carlos , 0-100 m. , 

 XII. 1901. 



Agrees in colour with Z. monstrosus Pasc. (1860) from 

 South Africa, but is distinguished by differences in the antennae 



and head, and by the 

 less elevate tubercles 

 of the elytra. 



The antennae do 

 not quite reach to the 

 middle of the elytra , 

 the third segment is 

 slender from the base 

 to the middle and 

 thence to the apex 

 gradually incrassate, 

 resembling an Indian 

 club, but is compres- 

 sed as in Z. mon- 

 strosus; it is half as 

 long again as IV, segments IX and XI are practically equal in 

 lengths, X being one-seventh shorter. The eye, if looked at from 

 above, appears ovate in shape and oblique in position, the outline 

 being strongly rounded towards the frons of the head, not straight 

 or incurved as in Z. monstrosus; above the antennal groove the 

 eye is sinuate, but the sinus is very shallow. The edge of the 

 antennal groove is not so strongly curved upwards as in Z. mon- 

 strosus.
