Chl^nius ovampo, Per., 

 Trans. S. Afric. Phil. Soc, 1892, p. 19. 

 Greenish bronze, not shining; the two basal joints of the antennae, 

 palpi, and legs pale yellow ; tarsi slightly infuscated ; the shape and 

 sculpture of the head, prothorax, and elytra as well as the colouring 

 are identical with G. perspicillaris, but the post-median pale-yellow 

 patch is differently shaped ; it extends from the third stria on each side 

 to the seventh, invading a little the eighth interval, but consists of 

 several coalescing longitudinal patches, those on the fourth and fifth 

 intervals of equal length, that on the sixth produced further than the 

 other two towards the apex and the other two much shorter than 

 the others but not projecting beyond the one on the fifth interval ; 

 this dorsal patch is also placed a little nearer to the apical part than 

 that of pcrs'picillaris, and is paler ; under side black, shining. Length 



14 mm. ; width 5 mm.

 narrowly punctato-striate with the intervals slightly convex and 

 roughly shagreened, very dark green, almost black, briefly pubescent, 

 and with a posterior sinuate yellowish patch extending on each side 

 from the third to the seventh interval, and twice longer on the fifth
