C. J. GAHAjST— COLEOPTEEA. 211 



side so as to cut oiF a median spot. The prothorax has three narrow transA'crse bands — 

 one at the apical and one at the basal margin, the third curving sinuously across the 

 middle ; the surface of the prothorax is somewhat rugose and marked with a few 

 strong punctures between the middle band and the posterior groove ; the anterior area 

 lying in front of the anterior groove is almost quite smooth. The elytra are, as com- 

 pared with those of other species of the genus, feebly punctate, and each has a short 

 longitudinal costa running at a little distance from the suture ; the costa disappears 

 behind at about one-sixth from the apex, and becomes more or less obsolete anteriorly 

 in front of the middle ; the markings of the elytra consist of two bands and about 

 twelve spots on each ; the form and disposition of the bands and spots is very much 

 the same as in S. consularis Har., but there is no spot at the extreme apex as in the 

 latter species. 



Length 17-24; breadth 6-^-10 mm.

This species can be distinguished from most others belonging to the genus by the 

 feebler puncturation of the elytra. S. holiemani Chevr. approaches it in this respect ; 

 but the latter exhibits two costse on each elytron, and the inner costa remains distinct 

 for a considerable distance in front of the middle.

Mubuku Valley, E. Ruwenzori, 6000-13,000 ft. One iemale specimen. 



This species was originally described from the male sex only, obtained by Sir H. H. 

 Johnston at Entebbe in Uganda. The female differs from the male in having the 

 antennae only about three-fourths of the length of the body, the small, black, nitid 

 spots near the base of the elytra larger and more numerous but of different sizes, the 

 lateral and subsutural vittse of the elytra greener and more distinct, the impression on 

 the vertex of the head broader and somewhat differently shaped. 



Ceroplesis reticulata, sp. n. (Plate VI, fig. 11.) 



Sparsely furnished with erect black hairs. Antenniferous tubercles subcontiguous. 

 Black with red markings. Head red on the lower part of the iront, and on a band 

 behind each eye that extends obliquely downwards and backwards along the cheek. 

 Prothorax marked with a transverse red band at the base and another at the apex. 

 Elytra marked reticulately with red pubescence ; strongly punctured at the base, each 

 slightly produced and rather pointed at the apex. Body beneath greyish-black, with a 

 red band at each side of the metasteruum. Legs greyish-black for the most pare ; the 

 femora more or less reddish, and the tibiae also reddish in the middle. Antennae of 

 the male from one-fifth to one-third longer than the body. 



Length 20-2S ; breadth 6-9 mm.
