Allied to C. elevator Fabr., but pronotum with the antero-lateral 

 margins much less sinuate without tubercles, its latéral angles less 

 prominent, and its postero-lateral margins without the prominent 

 tooth. 



Cletoniorpha elevator does not seem to hâve been rediscovered 

 since it was described by Fabricius, but I hâve recently received 

 this rare and very distinct species frora Dahomey. In the single 

 type spécimen, redescribed by Stâl, the colouring of the pronotum 

 and legs does not seem to be fully developed. Tn mature, well pre- 

 served spécimens the pronotum and legs are coloured almost quite 

 as in nyasana. 



Cletus and Cletomorpha are closely allied but certainly distinct 

 gênera. Besides having the apical angles of the two or three penul- 

 timate abdominal segments more or less prominent, Cletomorpha 

 differs bv havinçr the abdomen more rounded on the sides and 

 distinctly broader than the hemelytra, and by a différent habitus. 



Fam. myodochidae.

Black, a vitta, forked from the middle, to upper side of head, an oblong 

 angular interiorly sinuate latéral spot and a rounded médian spot to anterior 

 lialf of pronotum, a transverse rectangular spot to ail pleurae, an oblong 

 latéral spot to posterior half of propleurae, dorsum ol abdomen (except last 

 segment), apical fascia to conaexival segments, first two ventral segments 

 (except middle of first segment and three large transverse basai spots of 

 second segment), apical border to third, fourth, and fîfth ventral segments, 

 a postero-lateral spot to sixtli ventral segment, and médian lobe of female 

 génital segaient sanguiueous; posterior half of pronotum with a broad 

 transverse fascia, abbreviated near latéral margins, and the basai margin 

 whitish testaceous, this fascia mottled with pale ferruginous, at the sides 

 triangularlv produced forwards, in the middle narrowl}' connected with the 

 médian spot of the anterior pronotal half and more broadly connected with 

 the pale basai margin, at the sides also^ though very narrowl}^^ connected 

 with the basai margin; clavus buff (except exterior border), and corium M'ith 

 two longitudinal bufï vittae, the interior of which is somewhat oblique, 

 parallel to the claval sature, abbreviated anteriorly and not quite reaching 

 the apical margin, sinuate near middle of outer margin, the exterior vitta
