Labrum elongated, convex, tri-dentate afc the apex, white with two 

 setigerou« punctures on each side of the median tooth and one in the 

 anterior angle ; head and prothorax brassy, covered with white decum- 

 bent hairs ; elytra slightly convex, not ampliated past the middle in the 

 female, finely j^unctalated, dark-bronze, sometimes bronze with a 

 greenish tinge, each elytron with an inverted comma-like yellow patch 

 coalescing with a band running along the suture (the said band formed 

 by two very much elongated spots) as far as half the length, a 

 humeral curved ramus, a median one also curved and produced behind 

 in a curved band, the thickened end of which reaches the suture, and 

 an apical, much curved marginal band with both ends thickened, and 

 both humeral and median rami as well as postical band connected along 

 the margin by a broad band of the same colour, underside dark-blue, 

 sides covered with dense white hairs. 



Length, 10-13 ; width, 4-5"^-"^- 



The width of the dorsal markings is apt to vary ; it is largest in 

 some examples from Bushmanland, and narrowest in some examples 

 from Delagoa Bay.^ 



I cannot consider this species otherwise than identical with G. 

 neglecta, Dej., and senegalensis, Dej. 



Cape Colony (Rondebosch, Cape Town, Hex River, Worcester, 

 Enon, Bathurst, Graham's Town, Bast London, and Bushmanland) ; 

 Natal (D 'Urban, Maritzburg) ; Zululand (Eshowe) ; Orange Free 

 State (Parys) ; Transvaal (Boksburg, Potchefstroom, Marico) ; 

 Delagoa Bay (Rikatla) : G-azaland, Mozambique (teste Klug). 



•The number of setigerous punctures varies much in that species ; there are 

 sometimes three on each side of the median tooth, sometimes one only.
