except the two basal joints which are shiny, and have occasionally the 
first joint rufescent, the intermediate compressed joints, which are twice 
as long as broad or more, are strongly angular inwardly at tip. 
I have seen examples in which the transverse black band of the elytra 
is entirely wanting.

ZONITOMORPHA TRANSGEESSOR, Pering., 
Ann. S. Afric. Mus., i., 1899, p. 319. 
Very briefly pubescent, yet shiny ; palps, antennae, with the exception 
of the two basal joints which are yellow rufescent, meso- and meta- 
sternum, apex of femora and tibiae, and the whole tarsi black ; head 
closely and deeply punctate, parallel, slightly longer than broad, sinuate 
towards the middle with the posterior angles straight and prominent, 
antennae reaching the median part of the elytra, compressed, the joints 
broad, distinctly angular inwardly ; prothorax truncate at each end, some- 
what conical, broader at the base than at the apex by one-third, closely 
punctulate, very briefly pubescent, and having in the centre an elongated 
longitudinal impression which does not reach either the apex or the base ; 
scutellum closely punctulate, rounded at apex ; elytra oblong, double the 
width of the prothorax in the anterior part, three times as long, slightly 
sinuate behind the humeral part, not distinctly ampliate laterally past the 
middle, jointly rounded at apex, moderately convex on the upper side, 
closely and deeply punctate, but less deeply so in the posterior part, and 
having on each side three distinct costules reaching from the base to the 
apex ; under side of the body briefly greyish pubescent ; legs somewhat 
long, finely punctulate. 
Length 14 mm. ; width 5^ mm. 
Eesembles a little examples of Z. sellata without transverse black 
band on the elytra, but the antennae are somewhat shorter, and the 
joints wider.

ZONITOSCHEMA, n. gen., 
Plate XXIL, fig. Qa. 
Closely allied to Zonitoinorpha, but difl'ers in the shape of the maxillae 
which are narrower and more elongated, and bear at apex a longer pencil 
of hairs ; the eyes, which are more granular, are less broadly separated on 
the upper side, and are sub-contiguous on the under side ; the antennae 
are very long and very slender, the intermediate joints being slightly
