African Phytophagous Coleoptera, 165 
triangular, finely punctured; elytra fulvous, the basal portion near 
the suture flavous to a small extent, the punctuation rather fine 
and close, slightly arranged in rows near the suture, irregularly at 
the sides, the extreme apical angle black; underside* clothed with 
rather thick and long yellowish pubescence, the last abdominal 
segment with a deep triangular fovea. 
Sierra Leone and Old Calabar. 
This Glythra may be known from any of its African 
congeners by the colour of the elytra, which are devoid 
of the usual spots or bands at their anterior portion. 
I have preserved the name given to it by the late 
M. Lefevre shortly before his death but I am not 
aware that the species was described by him. 
Diapromorpha proceraj sp. n. 
Black, the sides of the thorax and its anterior margin flavous, 
the surface irregularly punctured ; elytra closely and strongly 
punctured ; fulvous, a spot on the shoulder and a transverse band 
below the middle, black. 
Var. The thorax with the sides flavous only, the elytra entirely 
fulvous. 
Length, 6 lines. 
Head black, the vertex finely punctured, with a central longi- 
tudinal groove, the space between the eyes finely rugose, the clypeus 
broad, finely punctured, its anterior margin concave-emarginate ; the 
antennae extending to the middle of the thorax, black, the second 
and third joints very small, more or less fulvous ; thorax about 
two and a half times broader than long, the sides straight, narrowed 
anteriorly, concavely depressed near the posterior angles, the 
surface irregularly impressed with larger and smaller punctures, 
the median lobe truncately produced, the disc black, the sides 
narrowly flavous ; scutellum pointed, rather convex, impunctate ; 
elytra slightly narrowed posteriorly, strongly and closely punctured,

Hah. W. Africa, Old Calabar. 
This is a large-sized species which differs in coloration 
from any other African species with which I am 
acquainted; the sculpture of the elytra is finer in the 
unspotted variety than in the banded form, and the
