100 Descriptive Catalogue [1896. 



Dr. Walter Horn, of Berlin, has very kindly communicated to me 

 the types of the South African species described by him, and has 

 thus enabled me to ascertain the synonymy of several species ; his 

 critical remarks have been instrumental in the correction of some 

 errors on my part. 



The number of new species included in this Supplement is twenty- 

 six, divided as follows : 



Mantica 1 



Styphlodebma 1 

 bosteicophoeus 2 



CiCINDELA 7 



COSMEMA 5 



Myrmecoptera 10 

 Three species which were thought to be valid have been sunk in 

 synonymy. 



The corrections are : 



Gicindela chrysographa, Dej.=(7. harhifrons, Bohem., is not a 



variety of G. capensis, but a distinct species. 

 Gicindela tereticoUis , Bohem., does not belong to the sub-genus 



E'uryoda (p. 57), but is a true Gicindela. 

 Megalomma limhigera must also be included in the genus Gicindela. 

 Gicindela centropunctata is synonymous with G. Dregei and not 



with G. disjuncta. 

 Gicindela securicornis , Horn, is synonymous with G. longula. 

 Gosniema brevipenis, P6r., and G. intermedia, Horn — G. elegantula, 



Bohem. 

 Myrmecoptera tenella is a Gosmema. 



Myrmecoptera limhata and M. Saundersi are the same species. 

 The number of genera is now fourteen, but that of the species and 

 varieties recorded is now 144, a number which can bear comparison 

 with any part of the globe of an area equal to that of South Africa. 



Teibe MANTICHOEIDES. 



Gen. MANTICHOEA, Fabric. 



Mantichora ferox, 'P6y., 

 Descriptive Catalogue, p. 17. 



I was not aware at the time I described M. ferox, and had it 

 figured (pi. 1, fig. 1), of Boucard's description of M. Gruti in the 

 'Humming Bird,' June, 1892, p. 45. Although I have not seen the 

 original example now in the Tring Museum, I also agree with Dr. 

 Horn * that M. Gruti and M. ferox are probably the same species.
