ClCINDELA DISCOIDEA, Dej., 



Spec, i., p. 114. 

 Var. intermedia, Klug, teste Horn. 



An intermediate form between C. neglccta and C. clathrata ; the 

 shape, sculpture, and markings are the same, but the marginal 

 yellowish band and the rami are much more slender, the two comma- 

 shaped patches on each side of the suture are disconnected (this is 

 also sometimes the case in C. clathrata), but the principal distinctive 

 character is found in the conspicuous striation of the head along the 

 orbits of the eyes. Length 11-12 mm. ; width 4-4-^ mm. 



Hob. Natal (Escourt, D'Urban), Mozambique (Lourenco-Mar- 

 quez) ; is also found in Bagamoyo, &c. 



ClCINDELA CLATHRATA. 



As said above, the striation of the orbital ridges is very fine in 

 comparison with that of C. discoidea, but although it varies a little, 

 it is never much pronounced. 



Hob. Cape Colony (Cape, Worcester, Tulbagh, Albert, Namaqua- 

 land~, Bechuanaland), Uitenhage, Natal (D'Urban, Frere), Zambesia 

 (Buluwayo), Transvaal (Potchefstroom). 



ClCINDELA DIFFEEENS, Horn, 



Deutsch. Entom. Zeit., 1892, p. 82. 



Very closely allied to C. clathrata ; the shape and sculpture are 

 alike, the striation of the supra-orbital ridges is not more pronounced, 

 but in the elytra the cream colour indumentum has invaded nearly 

 the whole of the disk, leaving only three narrow zigzag lunules 

 which are part of the greenish background, and completely similar in 

 shape to those of C. Candida. Length 11-13 mm. ; width 4-J-- 5 mm. 



Hob. Zambesia (Middle Limpopo, Buluwayo). 



Horn described originally the species from the Zanzibar coast 

 (Dars el salam, I believe), and has also recorded it from the Zambesi 

 (Boroma). It has lately been found on the banks of the Tugela 

 Eiver, in Natal, C. regalis has also been found in the same locality, 

 and I am also informed that it occurs in Salisbury. I did not at the 

 time consider myself justified in separating it from C. clathrata, nor 

 do I think now that it is a valid species.
