Uganda (Ruwenzori, 10,000 ft., C. -C. Gowdey). 



Allied to S. trilineatus Fabr., but distinguished bv the totallv 

 difFerent colour-markings of the pronotum and several other colour- 

 details. 



This is the first Mvodochid recorded from Ruwenzori. According 

 to the description açd figure of the vegetation-zones of Ruwenzori 

 given by WoosNAM in Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond. XIX, p., 13-23, 

 the height at which the species was fotmd would^ on the Uganda 

 slope of the mountain, correspond to the border between the 

 Bamboo-zone and the Tree-Heath- and Moss-zone. 



N. B. — KiRKALDY and Breddix hâve used the name Stalag- 

 mostethus StÂl for the gentis Lygaeus Auct. nec Fabr., but 

 Stalagrnostethus is in mv opinion genericallv distinct bv the very 

 long last antennal joint and the almost wanting metasternal 

 orificia. The genus should therefore be called Spilostethus Stal, 

 as proposed bv Reuter. 



Fam. henicocephalidae.

So closely related and similar to H. tuberculatus Bergr. that it is only 

 necessary to give the differential characters. Colour dark fuscous, hemelytra 

 slightty flavescent at base, legs pale fnscous. Pilosity of head extremely
