more horizontal, not eniarginate, and with the angles nearly blunt, 

 the sub-lateral excavation is Avell defined, but shallow, and the 

 compressed tooth edging the excavation is either very noticeable 

 or rudimentary, and the posterior part is more rugosely punctate 

 than in the male. 



Length 23-26 mm. ; width 13-15 mm. 



The insect described by Boheman is a female.

Male: Nearly similar to G. laticornis, Bohem., but a little 

 narrower ; the shape of the head and prothorax is quite similar, 

 but the anterior part of the lobe of the prothorax instead of being 

 smooth is roughly scabroso-punctate ; the two median teeth at the 

 apex of the lobe are set close to one another and are very distinct. 



Length 22-23 mm. ; width 12^-14 mm. 



Mr. Waterhouse has kindly identified one of my examples as his 

 G. lunarioides, var. minor ? and this example is absolutely similar to 

 one of G. integer, Eeich., from Shoa, sent to me by Dr. Gestro, of 

 the Genoa Museum.

Male : Black, shining or piceous red ; clypeus incised in front, 

 centre of the head with a moderately long tooth slightly incurved 

 towards the apical part, sharp at tip, and having in the posterior 

 part of the base an angular projection on each side at a short 

 distance from the base itself, the anterior part of the head is 

 smooth, buf the edge of the gense and also of the clypeus is 

 punctulate in some examples ; prothorax quite vertical in the 

 anterior part, and having a median lobe broadly emarginate 

 triangularly in the centre, and with the outer angles strongly 

 dentate and divaricating, on each side of the median part there is a
