  This 
  species 
  seems 
  clearly 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  Reuters 
  genus, 
  which 
  

   was 
  founded 
  for 
  the 
  réception 
  of 
  a 
  spécimen 
  from 
  Ashanti.

  and 
  thickly 
  punctate; 
  scutellum 
  

   transversely 
  rugose; 
  abdomen 
  above 
  red, 
  connexivum 
  black. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  with 
  the 
  second 
  joint 
  minute, 
  third 
  joint 
  flattened 
  and 
  

   considerably 
  longer 
  than 
  fourth 
  which 
  is 
  spatulate, 
  fifth 
  joint 
  slen- 
  

   der 
  and 
  cylindrical. 
  Pronotum

  margins 
  convex.

  millim. 
  

  

  Niam-Niam

  This 
  species 
  has 
  almost 
  an 
  exact 
  resemblance 
  to 
  Cyclopelta 
  fune^ 
  

   bris 
  Fabr. 
  and 
  might 
  be 
  mistaken 
  for 
  a 
  large 
  spécimen 
  of 
  that 
  

   species, 
  did 
  not 
  the 
  prescence 
  of 
  the 
  minute 
  second 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  

   antennae, 
  which 
  makes 
  a 
  fifth 
  antennal 
  joint, 
  at 
  once 
  place 
  it 
  in 
  

   the 
  genres 
  Aspongopus. 
  

  

  Aspongopus 
  cruralis

  Black, 
  finely 
  rugulose

   Antennae 
  with 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  joints 
  together 
  a 
  little 
  longer 
  

   than 
  the 
  fourth, 
  second 
  joint 
  about 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  again 
  as 
  the 
  third 
  

   which 
  is 
  shortest, 
  fourth 
  joint 
  slightly 
  ampliated 
  and 
  excavated 
  

   about 
  equal

  which 
  is 
  slender 
  and

  It 
  seems 
  more 
  than 
  probable 
  that
