ANCHONODERUS SCABRICOLLIS, n. sp.—Fusco-eneus, pilis longiori- 
bus vestitus, antennarum basi, palpis, pedibusque albo-testaceis ; capite 
thorace paulo angustiori, supra passim haud profunde punctato ; labro, 
antennis (bast albo excepto), mandibulisque rufo-piceis ; thorace cordato, 
lateribus juata angulos posticos rectis, supra grosse cicatricoso-punctato ; 
elytris oblongo-ovatis, profunde crenalo-striatis, interstitiis punctulatis 
leviterque plicatis, utringue maculis 2 rufo-testaceis, quarum una curvata 
prope humerum, altera major ante apicem, aliquando usque ad apicem ex- 
tensa, ornatis ; corpore subtus nigro, nitido, punctato. 
Long. 23 lin., 3 9. 
Apparently allied to A. wndatus, Chaud., but much smaller; differs 
from A. rugatus, Reiche, by the colour of the antennz and sculpture of 
the elytral interstices. The facies, sculpture, and pubescence would 
justify its being placed in Lachnophorus ; but the head being narrower 
than the pro-thorax, and the eyes but moderately prominent, show its 
nearer affinity with Anchonoderus. The thorax is very much rounded 
on the sides, greatly and abruptly constricted at the base. The punc- 
tuation of the elytral striz is coarse near the base, less distinct near the 
apex, and the punctures crenulate only the interstices on the outer side 
of each stria. The pale spots are variable in size, the apical one forms 
a waved macular band on interstices 3—9, but sometimes extends along 
the margin to the apex.

DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF AFRICAN DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 
BY CHRISTOPHER WARD. 
PaPILio CONSTANTINUS, N. 8. 
$. Upper-side: rich brown-black, both wings crossed with a yellowish-white band, 
commencing midway at the inner margin of lower wing, and curving outwards 
to the apex of the upper wing. Through the lower wing this band is contin- 
uous; through the upper wing it is broken into spots, which spread inwards in 
a narrow, irregular band to the anterior margin. In the cell near the extremity 
an oval spot ; following the outer edge of both wings is a series of yellowish- 
white spots, placed in pairs between the nervures. ‘Tails rather short, spatu- 
late, and marked on each side with yellowish-white. 
Under-side : marked as above, but a lighter brown, and the lower wing is of a lighter 
shade than the upper one. Between the nervures of the lower wing, and near : 
the apex of the upper wing, are strongly-defined streaks of dark brown. 
Expanse 34 inches, 
Habitat: Ribé, East Africa.
