A fourth group is characterized by the following combination 

 of colours : black head, red thorax, and iridescent green elytra. 

 This type of coloration is well illustrated by a Melyrid, Prionocerus 

 Gcerxdeipennis (Perty), a Longicorn, Erythrus viridipennis (Gahan), 

 an Erotylid, a Hispid, Botryonopa cyanipennis (Baly), and a Clerid. 

 It is probable that the whole of these species are synaposematic as 

 is indicated in the accompanying Table YIII. Group 4 (p. 272). 

 Four of the species are rejaresented on Plate XXIII. figs. 58 to 61. 



A fifth group has a broad red band across the middle of the 

 abdomen ; into this will fall two common wasps, Vesjm cincta 

 and Polistes sagittcm-ms, and their mimics, a Sesiid moth, a fly, 

 and a Mantispa. There is at present no reason for considering 

 any of the convergent species shown in Table YIII. Group 5 as 

 other than pseudaposematic. The Mantispa and Polistes are 

 shown in figs. 27 & 26 on Plate XIX., the Vespa and Milesia on 

 figs. 13 & 14 on Plate XXII.
