366 Descriptive Catalogue [1896. 



Var. Knysna. 



Shape and sculpture of the type form, but smaller, with the elytra 

 more parallel ; the head and prothorax are more densely punctured ; 

 the median part of the intervals on the elytra has a narrow fulvous 

 pubescent band, the five patches on each side are disposed in the 

 same manner, also elongated, but smaller, and fulvous instead of 

 white. Length 27 mm. ; width 8-|— 9 mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Knysna). 



Var. qicadrigicttata, Fabr., Syst. Eleuth., i., p. 223. 



elongata, Oliv., Entom., iii., 35, p. 24, pi. 9, fig. 107. 



Shape, size, and sculpture of ^. cleceviguttata ; prothorax red, or 

 ferruginous red ; elytra with the intervals covered with a thick 

 greyish or yellowish grey tomentum, two elongated white patches on 

 each side, one at the shoulder, the other one, smaller and more 

 ovate, at the apex of the third costa. Length 31-33 mm. ; width 

 10-12 mm. 



This variety seems to be restricted to a narrow belt along the 

 western shore of the Cape Colony, from the neighbourhood of Cape 

 Town to Port Nolloth. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Koeberg, Paternoster, Port Nolloth). 



The disappearance of the post-median patch on the third interval 

 is not always constant ; this patch is, however, almost obliterated, 

 and I have seen it only in some examples captured in the close 

 proximity of Cape Town. In the examples from Port Nolloth the 

 pubescence in the intervals of the elytra is denser and more yellow. 



Var. villosa, Lequien, Monogr., No. 13. 



Shape, size, and sculpture of A. clecemguttata ; prothorax dark fer- 

 ruginous red ; elytra with the intervals covered with a thick fulvous 

 tomentum, and having on each side five white spots arranged in the 

 same manner as in cleceviguttata, but round instead of elongate. 

 Length 29-34 mm. ; width 10-13 mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Fraserburg, Uniondale, Somerset East). 



Var. levicollis, Schonh. 



According to Lequien (Monogr. d. gen. Anthia) this variety differs 

 from the preceding in the prothorax being quite red and almost 

 smooth. 



In my example of what I consider to be the above-named variety, 

 the femora are as red as the prothorax, the intervals are not thickly 

 pubescent, and the pubescence is golden yellow, but I am of opinion 

 that this example is merely a newly matured specimen. Length 29 

 mm. ; width 10 mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Somerset East).
