Head reddish-fulvous, with a few fine punctures between the 

 eyes, the latter large, apex of the clypeus deeply semicircularly 

 einarginate ; antennaj extending to the base of the thorax, flavous, 

 the third joint double the length of the second, the following joints 

 strongly triangularly widened ; thorax twice as broad as long, the 

 sides nearly straight, distinctly narrowed towards the apex, the 

 angles distinct, posterior margins nearly straight, almost without 

 a median lobe, depressed in front of the latter and with a few- 

 punctures, rest of the surface impunctate, reddish fulvous, shining : 

 scutellum of the same colour, longer than broad, its apex truncate ; 

 elytra with a shallow depression below the base, extremely minutely 

 punctured in very irregular rows, visible only here and there under 

 a strong lens, black, very shining, the apex with a narrow fulvous 

 band extending a little way upward at the sides, where it gradu-

 the posterior tarsi as long as the following two joints together. 



Hah. Salisbury, Mashonaland {G. Marshall). 



Of the same coloration as G. terminata Lac, but larger, with 

 entirely fulvous underside, the clypeus deeply emarginate, the 

 apical spot not round but in shape of a band extending a little way 

 upward : G. hannorrJioidalis Lac. also differs in having the breast 

 black and the elytra rugose ; G. hasipennis has the entire posterior 

 three-fourths of the elytra fulvous ; lastly, G. deyrollei Jac. has 

 metallic blue, not black elytra. The three specimens sent by 

 Mr. Marshall do not differ except in size.

 margin; underside and legs black, clothed with yellowish pubescence. 



Hab. Estcourt, Natal (G. Marshall). 



Of the two specimens sent by Mr. Marshall, one is much larger, 

 the head is more strongly punctured, and the entire lo\^■er portion 

 is flavous as well as the legs, the suture is narrowly black to some 

 distance from the apex, and the lateral stripe is broader and more
