■190 MR. H. w. BATKS ON [June 17, 



C. helJa of the Ouinea coast. Another equally distinct form is found 

 at Cameroons and Cape Coast Castle \ 



Ceroplesis calabaeica, Chevrolat. 



Specimens agreeing with others I have seen frpm the G3,bp,on and 

 Cameroons. 



Cekoplesis 5-fasciata, Fabr. 



One pxample, differing only i^ the slightly b^-oacler ^ed fasciae 

 ffom others received from Mozambique and Natal. 



Ettkysops esatt, Chevrolat. 



T|i|s ^np species appears not t» be uncommon at Caifleroqns and 

 Old Calabar. It is also recorded frpm Sierra Leone. 



Pheineta AUEpciKCTA, Gvierin. 



A single example, differing scarcely in apy respect from others 

 received from Sierra Leone and Senegal. 



Phbyneta macularis, Harold. 



Described by Harold from examples tajien by Pogge in the Upper 

 Congo region. Mr. B.onny's specimens have apparently lighter- 

 cploured antpnnae (HarolfJ says " braunlich gelb ") ; they are tawny 

 yellow, witb scape dark brown. The elytra are clothed with long 

 erect black hairs (like P. uigropilosa, Auriv.), the non-mentioi^ of 

 ■\jvhich in Harold's description would lead me to doubt the identity 

 of the species, if it were not for the exact agreement in other respects 

 and the prob3.bility that thp h^^rs are liable to abr3,siop. 



Phetneta spinatoe, Fabr. 



The specimens belong to the variety (PJi. ohspuva^ Oliv.?) ip which 

 t;he elytra are qf a unifo^ni dull ashy-brpwn above with the black 

 spots less distinct. The same yariety occurs op the Guinea coast 

 ^nd in Senegal.
