aciculate punctate and clothed with a shghtly longer pubescence. The 
antennae are as long as the whole body. 
Length 11^ mm. ; width 3 mm. 
Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Mazoe). 
I am not certain that my examples are Fabricius' Lytta coccinea, in 
which case the name suaveola will be retained.

Similar to the type form from which it differs in the coloration of the 
elytra, which are very pale flavescent with a somewhat narrow red 
band along the base, and a narrower one along the apical margin.

Shape of the preceding species. The vestiture is also the same, but 
the head and prothorax are more finely and somewhat more closely 
punctulate, but the punctuation of the elytra is however the same as 
in Z. coccinea ; the head and prothorax have a flavescent tinge, and the 
elytra are very pale flavescent, almost flavescent white, without any trace 
of narrow red border at the base or at the apex ; antennae not quite as 
long as the body but nearly so, black with the basal joint flavescent ; 
palps, knees, tibiae, and tarsi black. 
Length 9-12|- mm. ; width 2f-4 mm.

This species is so closely allied to Z. eborina that I took it at first to 
be identical. It is however distinguished by the still briefer pubescence 
of the elytra, and especially by the shape of the prothorax which is less 
acuminate at apex than that of Z. eborina. I have however seen as yet 
one example only of this species.
