convex, punctulated, with three round spots disposed in a triangular 

 shape in the centre of the disk, and a large black patch on each side ;, 

 gcutellum black ; elytra convex, three times as long as the prothorax, 

 covered with very closely set punctures and having, each, two broad. 

 black bands, one supra marginal, the other pre-sutural, uniting below 

 the middle and forming a broad dorsal patch reaching short of the 

 apex where is also a rounded black spot ; outer sides of the pectus, 

 tarsi and leg's with the exception of the base of the femora black,, 

 pubescent. 



Closely allied to C. vittatipennis. Baly. 



420. C. simplex, spec. nov. 



Oblonga, convexa, /lava, capite maculis tribus nigris ; prothorace 

 convexo, 5 nigro maculato ; scutello nigro, elytris punctulatis, convexis, 

 marginis limbo extemo maculaque humerali ?iigris ; pectoris lateribus r 

 pedibus tarsisque nigris, femoribus late flavo-annidatis . 



Long. 11, lat. 7 mm . 



Oblong, convex, pale-yellow ; antennas very little serrated, black, 

 with the exception of the three first basal articulations which are pale- 

 yellow but spotted with black ; head punctulated with a triangular 

 black frontal patch, and one on each side of the vertex ; prothorax- 

 convex, punctulated, with three black round spots disposed in a 

 triangle in the centre of the disk, and a round patch on each side near 

 the base ; seutellum black ; elytra moderately elongated, very convex,, 

 closely but faintly punctured and with a small elongated black patch 

 on the humeral part, the outer margin edged with a narrow black line 

 broadening a little at the apex, sides of the pectus, coxaa, base a-nd 

 apex of the femora, tibiae and tarsi black. 



Although coloured somewhat like C. pectinicornis, Oliv., the 

 facies of the present species is more that of C. femoralis, Gerst.,. 

 and the antennae are hardly serrated, thus distinguishing it at once 

 from varieties of C. pectinicornis. 



C. pectinicornis. Oliv. ? var. dispar. 



Like the type, but the elytra, instead of having one black patch on 

 each side, have a supra humeral one as in C. simplex, one below the 

 seutellum, near the suture, and another one past the middle and near 

 the outer margin ; this last patch is occasionally absent. 



This variety comes from the Zambeze River and ? Delagoa Bay.
