coarsely, closely punctate ; metasternum black, rather 
finely, sparsely, shallowly punctate. Abdomen moderately 
coarsely, sparsely, feebly punctate. Legs coarsely, closely 
punctate. Length 13.5 mm.; width (greatest) 3.4 mm. 
Type locality — Kigonzera, Lake Nyassa, Tanganyika 
Territory. 
Type, a male, in collection of the author. 
Allied to G. signifer Boheman, but differing from that, 
as well as from the other described species, by the presence 
of the two very distinct white fasciae, and by the raised 
yellow maculations of the basal portion of the elytra. The 
new species is more elongate in form than is Boheman’s 
species, but agrees very well in this respect with G. an- 
gustus Schenkling, from which, however, it is distinct in 
sculpture and in coloration. 
The impressed lines or sulci of the pronotum serve to 
throw into more prominent relief a pair of tubercles each 
side of the middle, there is also a less conspicuous tubercle 
at middle before the anterior pair and another similar one 
at middle behind the posterior pair. 
Gyponyx hintzi nom. nov. 
E. Hintz (Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr., 1897, p. 287) de- 
scribed as new a species of Cleridae from Usambara, to 
which he gave the name Aphelochroa rufa ; Sigm. Schen- 
kling in 1910 (Col. Catal., Cleridae, p. 43) placed this 
species in Aphelochroa, but later on (Entom. Mitteil., IV, 
1915, p. 248) he referred it to the genus Gyponyx Gorham, 
retaining the specific name rufus. 
Hintz in 1902 (Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr., p. 178) de- 
scribed another species from Usambara under the name 
Stenocylidrus rufus: The species was recorded under the 
same name by Schenkling in 1910 (Col. Catal., Cleridae, 
p. 18) ; the same author (Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., 1922, 
p. 325, note) , transferred this species to the genus Gyponyx. 
As a result of the fact that both of the species described 
by Hintz are now known to belong to the genus Gyponyx, 
the G. rufus (Hintz) of 1902 becomes a homonym of the 
species described by Hintz in 1897, and a new specific
