strongly bi-sinuate, the basal lunule is narrow, nearly longitudinal, and 
opposite the lobate part of the third marginal macule is a transversely 
oblong median one. 
I have not met with this species, the description of which is partly 
culled from Marseul, and partly made from the figure he gives in his 
Monographie des Mylahres. It differs from C. pilosa and varieties of the 
same in the disposition of the pale yellow bands the third dorsal one of 
which is broadly interrupted, and there is no apical patch ; in addition to 
this difference only the two basal joints of antennae are black, whereas in 
G. pilosa the five basal joints are of that colour. 
Length 11 mm. ; width 3|- mm. 
The species is recorded from Egypt, Angola, and Mozambique.

Key to the Species. 
A3. Patches and bands of elytra pale yellow ; two basal patches and two 
transverse bands. 
A basal dorsal round, and a lateral arcuate pale yellow patch, 
anterior band interrupted in the centre, posterior formed by two 
transverse patches broadly coalescing in the centre (pi. xxiv., 
fig. 126) decenigiUtata. 
Patches and bands of elytra orange-yellow or orange-red. 
The same but the anterior band is not interrupted in the centre 
although strongly constricted there, posterior band broad, not 
reaching the apex, and with both edges sinuate (pi. xxiv., fig. 127) • . curtula. 
Antennae black. 
A^. Patches and bands of elytra orange-yellow; basal patches and 
anterior band united; posterior invading the apex. 
Elytra orange -yellow, with a broad, transverse bi-sinuate band not 
reaching quite the outer margin, a post-median bi-dentate one 
extending from side to side, a supra-apical dot, and a marginal apical 
band black (pi. xxiv., fig. 128) chrijsomelina. 
Antennae yellow with the two basal joints black. 
The same, but with the anterior band reduced to a triangular 
patch along the suture, a dorsal minute black spot (pi. xxiv., 
fig. 129) discrepans.
