The specimens, the subject of this paper, have been 

 received partly from Mr. Guy Marshall at Mashonaland, 

 Mr. Cecil Barker at Malvern, Natal, and partly from the 

 Belgian Museum ; the insects previously received have 

 been described by me in the publications above mentioned. 



The present paper deals with the Crioceridie, Clyfhridse, 

 CryptocepJialidw, Chrysomelidte and Eumolpidse. The 

 Galerucidm and Halticidm will be the subject of the 

 second part.
