 immediately behind the middle and connected with tbe lateral 

 stripe, black; below and the legs fulvous. 



Hah. Salisbury, Mashonaland : on lily of the valley (G. Mar- 

 shall). 



C. balyi Har. almost entirely resembles the present species, but 

 is smaller, the head is differently constructed, and the thorax has 

 no black spots, the elytra also have a narrow black margin. 

 Mr. Marshall has sent two exactly similar specimens of this hand- 

 some species. 



Leucastea bimaculata, sp. n. 



Fulvous, pubescent ; the antenna?, breast, and the legs black ; 

 thorax impunctate, with a central black mark ; elytra strongly 

 punctured, with a black round spot placed at the middle of each 

 elytron ; pubescence pale yellow. 



Length 10 millim. 



Elongate and parallel ; the head broad, strongly but not closely 

 punctured, fulvous, clothed with short pubescence; the clypeus trans- 

 versely depressed, flavous ; the eyes deeply notched; the antennas 

 black, the last seven joints triangularly widened; thorax twice as 

 broad as long, the sides rounded, the surface with a narrow transverse 

 groove, running parallel with the anterior and posterior margins, the 

 surface impunctate, clothed with single long yellowish hairs, the 

 middle of the disc with a A-shaped black mark; elytra with rather 

 prominent shoulders, somewhat paler in colour than the thorax, 

 depressed near the suture at the base, strongly but not very closely 

 punctured at the anterior portion, more finely so posteriorly, the 

 interstices clothed with long golden-yellow pubescence ; legs 

 similarly pubescent, black as well as the breast, the femora 

 unarmed; abdomen pale fulvous. 



Hab. Malvern, Xatal ; Salisbury, Mashonaland (G. Marshall). 



Mr. Marshall has sent two specimens of this species, which 

 differs in the coloration and pattern of the elytra from any of 

 those described by West wood and Stal. 



Cltthrin^:. 

 Damia capitata, sp. n. (Plate XX. fig. 1.)

 abdomen black ; head and thorax fulvous, the former with two 

 black spots, the latter transverse, impunctate ; elytra strongly and 

 semi-rugosely punctured, a transverse band at the base and an 

 oblique broad spot below the middle black. 



Mas. Head broad, tbe lower portion entirely divided longi- 

 tudinally as far as the eyes : the anterior legs elongate. 



Length 5 millim. 



Head very broad, fulvous, impunctate, with a triangular black 

 spot in front of each eye, the lower portion longitudinally divided 

 into two broad lamellae, the right portion of which is longer than
