anteriorly ; scutelluin large, smooth and shining, its apex slightly 

 raised and truncate ; elytra feebly lobed at the base, closely, 

 strongly, and evenly punctured, covering the pygidium ; legs 

 fulvous, tarsi rather short and broad, the first joint but slightly 

 longer than the second.

Cajiptolen^es abyssinica Lefev. 



Two specimens obtained by Mr. Marshall at Salisbury, Mashona- 

 land, agree so closely with Lefevre's description that I must identify 

 them with his species : the specimens before me are, however, 

 smaller by 2 millim., and have entirely black antennjB and legs ; 

 the different localities probably account for this. In Donckier de 

 Donceel's Catalogue of C'lythrime the species is placed in Lachnea ; 

 but in that genus the thorax is generally pubescent and the legs 

 less elongate : Camptolenes is perhaps, therefore, a better place for 

 the insect. 



Lachnea fulticolms, sp. nov. 



Black, pubescent, the anterior portion of the head and the 

 thorax fulvous, the latter rugosely punctured and pubescent ; elytra 

 opaque, strongly punctured and rugose, an anguJate band before, 

 another below the middle, and a spot at the apex, black. 



Length 8 millim. 



Head closely covered with yellowish pubescence, with a smooth, 

 elongate, raised space between the eyes, the upper portion black ; 

 the clypeus entirely fulvous, its anterior edge feebly semicircularly 

 emarginate ; antennae nearly extending to the base of the thorax, 

 black, the fourth and following joints dentate or transversely 

 widened; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides nearly straight, the 

 posterior angles rounded, the surface strongly and unevenly punc- 

 tured and rugose, entirely fulvous, sparingly clothed with yellow 

 hairs ; scutellum piceous, with a central obscure ridge, finely punc- 

 tured ; elytra very deeply and closely punctured, with one or two 

 longitudinal short costae near the apex, the basal margin in shape 

 of transverse ridges, the ground-colour fulvous, an angular and 

 oblique band before the middle not extending to either margin, 

 another band below the middle not extending to the suture, the 

 latter near the apex and a round spot at the last-named place, 

 black ; underside clothed with yellowish pubescence, the first tarsal 

 joint as long as the following two joints together.

The shape of the markings and perhaps the colour of the thorax 

 in this species are probably as variable as is so frequently the case 

 with these insects ; but although I have only a single, apparently 

 female specimen before me, it will be sufficient to recognize this 

 species, which on account of the pubescence of the thorax, the 

 colour of the latter, and the markings of the elytra cannot be con- 

 founded with other species of allied genera. Although 0. ahyssinica 

 Lefev. resembles the present insect as regards the elytral pattern,
