Black, clothed with a dense black pubescence on the under side and on 
the head and prothorax ; this pubescence is also very long and erect, but 
less dense on the elytra ; it is also often totally wanting on the upper 
side ; all the antennal joints black ; the punctures on the head and 
prothorax are somewhat scattered and shallow with the intervals smooth ; 
the elytra are closely coriaceous on the orange-yellow parts, finely punctate 
on the black, and the costules are moderately distinct ; the orange-yellow 
basal patches and the ante-median bands have invaded nearly the whole of 
the anterior part of the disk, including however a triangular sutural patch, 
a smaller more central one, and a minute dot disposed transversely, all 
three being the remains of the band of the black background that separated 
the two anterior bands from the basal patches ; the post-median band has 
also invaded the whole posterior part, except for a narrow apical black 
border, and a minute black dot in the centre of that broad patch. 
Length 6-9 J mm. ; width 2-4^ mm. 
Hab. Transvaal. The whole of the Transvaal^ Mozambique, Ovampo-

Natal, nor from the Cape Colony. 
ACTENODIA DISCREPANS, n. sp., 
Plate XXIV., fig. 129. 
Eesembles almost completely the type form of A. chrysomelina ; but 
the colour of the antennae differs, the antennal joints with the exception of 
the two basal ones which are black, being flavo-rufescent, but joints 3 and 
4 are somewhat dull yellow ; in the elytra the orange-yellow colour has 
invaded nearly the whole of the anterior part except for a small triangular, 
sutural black patch and a smaller one often reduced to a mere dot in the 
centre of the disk ; the whole posterior part is orange-yellow except for a 
minute median dot and a very narrow fringe of the apical margin which 
are black. 
Length 9-9J mm. ; width 4f mm.
