194 ZOOLOGICAL EESULTS OF THE EUWENZORI EXPEDITION. 



antice valde contractis, postice paulo dilatatis, basi medio profunde et anguste 

 exciso ; scutello longo, obtuso, impunctato ; elytris punctis semicircularibus sat 

 parce impressis, lateribus fortiter sinuatis, apicibus acute spinosis ; pygidio subtiliter 

 strigoso, metasterni lateribus grosse transverse strigosis, parce hirsutis; abdomine 

 fere laevi, segmentis postice utrinque albo-marginatis. 

 Long. 17 mm. Lat. max. 8 mm. 

 Hal. Mubuku Valley, E. Euwenzori, 6000-13,000 ft. 



This species is very much like G. scalaris G. & P., but is larger and relatively 

 broader and the yellow parts of the upper surface are more extensive. The pronotum 

 is rather broadly ringed with yellow, and the elytra are of that colour, with the 

 anterior margin, an oblique bar from the shoulder to the suture just behind the 

 scutellum, a transverse bar behind that, an oblique one just before the apex, a spot 

 occupying the apical angle and four or five others black or very deep green- 

 black. 



Only a single female was found. 



The African group of species to which the two last belong are generally known as 

 Qametis, constituting the second section of Burmeister's genus of that name (which 

 was restricted by Lacordaire to that section), but it is only a geographical division 

 which cannot be distinguished from Glycyphana by any structural character. Another 

 name in use for the same group [Phonotcerda) is a Catalogue name only.

Mokia, S.E. Ruwenzori, 3400 ft. 



This insect is extremely abundant from Abyssinia to Natal. Dr. Peringuey has 

 found that the larvae live in the nests of Hawks, feeding either upon the excrement or 

 the sticks composing the nest.
