angles, the surface finely and closely punctured, clothed with 

 whitish long pubescence, black, the anterior and lateral margins 

 narrowly flavous ; scutellum raised, black, its apex truncate ; 

 elytra opaque, very finety punctured, fulvous, with four small 

 black spots, one on the shoulders, another lower down near the 

 suture, and two placed transversely immediately below the middle ; 

 underside and legs black, pubescent, anterior legs very elongate, 

 the tibiae slightly curved and mucronate at the apex, the first joint 

 of the tarsi elongate, as long as the following two joints together. 



Hah. Natal, Ulundi, on flowers at the summit of IS'iginya, 

 6500 ft. {Marshall). 



Very closely allied to L. marginata, Lac, but the epistome only 

 moderately concave at the anterior margin ; the first joint of the 

 antennae black, and the following two joints fulvous only, instead 

 of the first four joints of that colour ; the elytra reddish fulvous, 

 not pale testaceous, and with four spots only instead of five, 

 the spots of nearly equal size ; there are two male specimens 

 before me which are exactly similar in these respects. 



GrYNANDEOPHTHALMA ELONGATA, n. Sp. 



Pale flavous or fulvous, antennae (the three or four basal joints 

 excepted) black ; thorax impunctate ; elytra with rows of very fine 

 punctures. 



Length l|-3 lines. 



Of naiTowly elongate shape, the female double the length of the 

 male ; the head impunctate, the upper portion slightly swollen, 

 obsoletely depressed between the eyes ; the clypeus broad and 

 flattened, impunctate, its anterior margin semicircularly emargi- 

 nate ; eyes prominent, sHghtly notched at their lower portion ; 

 antennae extending to the base of the thorax, black, the lower 

 three or four joints fidvous, the third extremely small, the fifth and 

 following joiuts very strongly transverse ; thorax twice as broad as 

 long, the sides moderately rounded, but slightly narrowed an- 

 teriorly, the angles rather obtuse, posterior margin straight at the 

 sides, its median lobe very slightly produced, straight, the base 

 slightly depressed in front of this lobe, with a fe\^' distinct punc- 

 tures, rest of the surface entirely impunctate ; scutellum triangu- 

 lar ; elytra subcylindincal, with rows of very fine punctux-es rather 

 distantly placed ; abdomen flavous like the rest of the underside ; 

 the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the following two 

 joints together. 



Hah. Sierra Leone, Rhobomp, also Togo, Central Africa. 



Evidently very closely allied to G. miochiroidcs, Lefcbv., from 

 Abyssinia, but the author describes his species as having a finely 

 punctured thorax and smooth elytra, which is not the case in 

 the present insect ; the female is of very elongate shape, and 

 double the size of the male, but differs in no other way : the insect 

 cannot be mistaken for Miocldra filiformis, Lac, which has a similar 

 elongate shape and colour, but differs in the structure of the 

 tarsi.
