Var. UMTALINA, 
Plate XXIY., fig. 97. 
Size, sculpture, and vestiture of the variety omega, but the basal dorsal 
arcuate lunule extends further down and thickens towards the suture, 
the median band is strongly slanting from the outer margin towards the 
suture, and is produced there into an elongated patch the outer angle 
of which reaches the posterior band, and is strongly narrowed and 
bi-dentate from the median dorsal part to the margin ; the posterior 
band is as in omega. 
Length 16 mm. ; width 8 mm. 
Hah. Southern Ehodesia (Umtali). 
Var. DISPUTABILIS, 
Plate XXIV., fig. 98. 
Sculpture and vestiture of the other varieties ; on the elytra the dorsal 
lunule is short and normally arcuate, the lateral patch is elongated into a 
short band, the anterior band is broad, the width being equal to about one- 
fourth of the whole length, and it is separated from the equally broad 
posterior band by a narrow strip of the black background, but it is con- 
nected laterally for a quarter of the width with the posterior band the 
hind margin of which is briefly, not deeply sinuate. 
Length 22 mm. ; width 9 mm. 
Hah. Natal (Newcastle). 
Var. SALISBURIANA, 
Plate XXIV., fig. 99. 
Sculpture and vestiture of the preceding species ; on the elytra the 
basal dorsal lune is prolonged into a hamate band reaching nearly to one- 
third of the whole length, and the lateral patch into a narrow band 
reaching the anterior transverse band, each border of which is strongly 
bi-sinuate, the hind one forming a short sub-median spur narrowly con- 
nected with the posterior band which is narrowed from the middle to the 
outer margin, and the fore border of which is scooped in the centre, and 
the hind one is bi-incised. 
Length 14 mm. ; width 5 mm. 
Hah. Southern Ehodesia (Salisbury). 
Var. DIGRESSA, 
Plate XXIY., fig. 100. 
Like the variety salisburiana, but the apical part of the basal dorsal 
lunule is produced below the scutellary region into an elongated band
