specimen brought home by Dr. A. Smith. Numerous specimens, 

 however, of both sexes having been received from Natal, I am en- 

 abled to give the accompanying details of the male, together with 

 a figure of the female and its details. 



The head of the male (rig. 3a, the head seen from above, fig. 

 3 b, the same sideways) has the anterior lateral angles porrected 

 straightly forward and acute ; the disc of the head is furnished 

 with two small acute prominences, and the middle of the fore 

 margin is produced into a large wide horn, curved upwards gra- 

 dually, and furcate at its extremity. The fore tibia? (fig. 3c) are 

 curved, with the outer edge entire, and the inner edge finely ser- 

 rated along its apical half, and with two stronger teeth, one at and 

 the other below the tip; the intermediate tibiae (fig. 3d) and the 

 posterior tibiae (fig. 3e) are simple, and slender beyond the middle. 



The female (fig, 3 $) has the head and prothorax simple; the 

 clypeus with the lateral angles rounded, and the anterior margin 

 emarginate in the middle ; the disc with a slightly raised central 

 ridge. The legs are strong ; the fore tibiae strongly tridentate, 

 and the intermediate and hind ones unidentate in the middle. The 

 mandibles (fig. 3f) are of the ordinary form; the maxillae, in this 

 sex (fig. 3g), with the under lobe armed with a strong acute spine, 

 and the outer lobe strong, horny, subacute and outwardly very 

 setose, 'i'he mentum deeply emarginate in the middle of the front 

 margin (fig. Sli), with very short palpi, with the sides, both in 

 front and behind, rather narrowed; the mesosternum (fig. 3«, 

 seen from below, and fig. 3h, seen sideways) is slightly produced, 

 with its extremity almost triangular.

Several specimens of this insect were received some years ago by 

 J. A. Turner, Esq., two varieties of which were represented in the 

 "Arcana Entomologica," as above referred to. I am now enabled 

 to complete our knowledge of the species, a female having been 

 obtained by Captain Parry. It is eleven lines long, of a rich dark 

 green colour and shining; the front half of the head black,-and 

 the hinder part green ; the antennae black. The head is closely 

 punctured, the anterior and lateral margins are elevated, the 

 former emarginate in the middle, a central carina is slightly ele- 

 vated, the hind part of the head above is less closely punctured ; 

 the prothorax is punctured at the sides and in front ; the epimera
