I have taken the present opportunity of figuring three 

 interesting species of this genus, wliich, though previously 

 described, had not been figured before.

 SpMngolahis variegata, Kirb. Jouru. Linn. Soc, Zool. xxiii 

 p. 526 (1891).

A conspicuous species, easily recognizable by Erichson's 

 diagnosis aloue, even without his more detailed description : 

 " Nigra, nitida, capite forcipeque rufis, pedibus testaceo-variis."
