elytra ; the two basal lunules have become a quadrate patch, connected on 
the outer side by a narrow line with the median transverse band which is 
broader than in the type form and more sharply zigzagged ; the humeral 
narrow band is continued along the margin and joins the apical patch at 
the apex.

In this variety the two median transverse yellow bands have coalesced, 
forming thus a single broad band having however in the centre an 
M -shape patch of the colour of the background, and a small triangular 
black notch along the suture.

I have not met with this variety, of which the var. matabelena is an

Smaller than the type form ; the lower part of the dorsal lunule is 
produced into a large quadrate patch reaching the suture, the outer angle 
is connected with the anterior band which has coalesced with the post- 
median forming thus a very broad yellow area equal in width to half the 
length of the elytra, and enclosing three small dot-like spots in the centre 
of the disk, the lateral basal band is connected with the broad yellow band 
the hind border of which is tri-dentate ; the apical patch is of the 
normal shape.

Black, clothed underneath with a short black pubescence which on 
the head and prothorax is mixed with sub-flavescent hairs ; on the elytra 
the pubescence is short, flavescent on the yellow patches and bands, 
black on the black background, whereas in G. pilosa it is longer, denser, 
and entirely flavescent ; the five basal antennal joints are black, the other 
four flavous ; head and prothorax very closely punctate ; elytra very
