Anthia ^miliana, Dohrn, 



Plate VIII., fig. 10. 



Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1881, p. 322 ; 1883, p. 358. 



Head hairless, roughly punctured ; prothorax smooth, with hardly 

 any punctures in front or laterally, subhexagonal, owing to the 

 median part of the outer sides being very angular ; the elytra are 

 very convex, elongato-ovate, slightly punctato-striate with the 

 intervals smooth, or very slightly convex, except near the base, and 

 have on each side a basal, comma-shaped white patch, one band 

 twice as long but equally narrow in the following interval, and a 

 marginal moderately broad white pubescent band beginning at a 

 short distance from the shoulder, and at about the median part of 

 the second subhumeral patch, but one interval below it, and reaching 

 the apex. Length 36-37 mm. ; width 13-14 mm.

fig. 1. 



Head very rugose, deeply impressed on each side, with the impres- 

 sions plicate, deeply punctured behind the eyes ; prothorax cordiform 

 with the outer sides of the median part not angular, depressed 

 longitudinally in the middle, with a very narrow groove in the 

 depression, anterior arcuated transverse depression not deep or well 

 defined, a few scattered deep punctures on the disk ; elytra elongato- 

 ovate, with the shoulders much rounded, moderately convex, costate 

 with the intervals deeply punctato-striate, and occasionally a few 

 setiger punctures on the sides of the costee, black, moderately shining 

 with a marginal pubescent white band reaching from very nearly 

 the rounding of the shoulder to the apex ; this marginal band invades 

 sometimes the eighth costa on the anterior part. 



Chaudoir has persisted in considering A. Fornasiuii, as distinct 

 from Massilicata, but the different specific characters which he 

 adduces to prove the difference between the two are also found in 

 Massilicata. Length 40-45 mm. ; width 15-17 mm. 



Hah. Zambezia (Salisbury, Victoria Falls). 



Anthia unicolok, Chaud., 

 Bull. Mosc, 1861, ii., p. 565. 



Shape of the head and prothorax as in Massilicata, the latter part 

 deeply and more closely punctured ; elytra with the humeral angles
