narrow central longitudinal fascia, pale ochraceous. Corium with 

 irregular transverse fasciae and the apical angle pale ochraceous; 

 membrane bronzy-brown, its apical marginpaler. Body beneath and 

 legs pale ochraceous; latéral margins of head, fasciate spots on 

 latéral areas of sternum, longitudinal streaks to legs, and apex 

 of rostrum dark olivaceous. Antennse with the first, second and 

 third joints piceous,and gradualy increasing in length, — remainder 

 mutilated. Rostrum reaching or passing the apex of the third 

 abdominal segment. Abdominal sulcation distinct. 



Long. 14 to 19 mill. Exp. pronot. angl. 6 to 8 mill. 



Hab. : Congo, Lukungu (Gh. Haas); Angola (Monteiro; Coll. Dist.). 



This description is founded on a spécimen from Angola, those 

 from Congo being somewhat greased and therefore less distinct in 

 markings. The species is allied to A.discolor Dali., but the markings 

 and gênerai appearance are more those of the oriental species 

 A. tesselaius Dali, and A. mimxis Dist. 



Aspongopus spissus sp. n. — Black ; fourth joint of antennse 

 excluding nearly basai half and the apical joint luteous; abdomen 

 above dark indigo blue; membrane pale brownish. Antennaî 

 with the second joint much longer than the third; second, fourth 

 and fifth joints subequal in length. Body above very finely punctate 

 and rugulose; beneath very thickly punctate. 



Long. 17 mill. Exp. pronot. angl. 10 mill. 



Hab. : Boma Sundi (P. Rolin); Zambi (M. Tschoffen). 



Allied to A. lividus Dist., from which it may be separated by 

 the relative lengths of the joints of the antennae.
