Myrmecoptera flavovittata, Horn, 

 Entom. Nachr., 1896, p. 339. 



Similar to M. bilunata, differs in the head and prothorax being 

 tinged with aeneous, the sides of the prothorax are straighter, the 

 anterior constriction much smaller, nearly invisible, the whole 

 surface, including the anterior and posterior margin, more densely 

 and sharply striolate transversely ; the humeral line of the elytra is 

 connected with the apical macule, the discoidal hook is also con- 

 nected with it, and the humeral part is strongly dilated. The 

 episterna of the pro- and mesothorax are sparsely but somewhat 

 roughly punctured, the antennae are less dilated ; the apex of the 

 penis is not hamate. Male. Length 14J- mm. 



Hab. Interior of Mozambique. 



Dromica planifrons, Horn, 

 Entom. Nachr., 1896, p. 339. 



Differs from the male of D. sculpturata in having no median 

 tooth in the labrum, the frontal part is not excavate between the 

 eyes, the prothorax is shorter, the elytra longer, much less convex, 

 narrower in the basal part for one-third of the length, the sutural 

 spine is a little more noticeable, the juxta-sutural costa is equal in 

 length to the second but both are much shorter than the three 

 external ones which are of equal length. It differs also from D. 

 clathrata male by the labrum, which is hardly shorter, but has no 

 median tooth, by the plane frontal part, by the antennae which are 

 shorter with all the joints cylindrical ; the prothorax is shorter, 

 broader, the sides less straight, the base is more constricted, the two 

 longitudinal torres less sharp and smaller, the elytra more plane, 

 much more finely sculptured, the large foveae between the first and 

 second costae are wanting, the three external costae are hardly 

 longer, the two internal ones are much shorter and all are slender. 

 Male. Length 16 mm.
