ANCHON NODICORNIS. 
(Plate XLYIII. figs. 1, la.) 
Centrotus nodicoruis, Fairm. l.c. pi. 8, fig. 18, p. 511. 
Pronotum shining greyish black, punctured, with two upright suprahumeral 
horns, recurved, and dilated at the tips, with three carinal edges, the hind edge 
running to a short tliorn-like point, barely covering the scutellum. On the dorsum 
and between the suprahumerals, a blunt upright process rises with a tubercle, from 
which a long, sinuous, prismatic horn is continued, nearly to the tip of the tegmina. 
A faint ochreous line runs down each of the suprahumerals ; legs black, with 
fulvous tarsi ; the tegmina fulvous, with dark yellow serration and a brownish stain 
at the apices. 
This insect, when seen from the front, has the appearance of being antlered like a 
stag. 
Size, 7x4 mm. 
Habitat. —Natal, Cape of Good Rope.

ANCHON RECTANGULATUM. 
(Plate XLYIII. figs. 3, 3a.) 
Centrotus granulatus, Kirb. (?). 
In some respects not unlike M. nodicornis, except that the dorsal horn is straight 
instead of sinuous, and the suprahumerals are less clavate at the tips. Tegmina 
hyaline, shining, with slight fuscous red at their bases ; legs ferruginous. The front 
aspect shows the frons hirsute, and the shoulder processes to be slightly serrated. 
Size, 5x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Ceylon. 
From Mr. Ernest Green’s Collection. 
ANCIION REMIGIUM, n.s. 
(Plate XLVIII. figs. 5, 5a.) 
Black ; procephalic process branched into two rather slim arms, with expanded 
apices. Dorsum with a free rudder-like process, continued backward nearly to the 
tips of the tegmina. Tegmina ferruginous with ochreous red nervures. Legs black. 
Dorsal aspect shows the long dorsal horn without its obtuse support, as can be 
seen in profile. 
Size, 6x4 mm. 
My figure is from a defective specimen in the Wollaston Collection. The neura 
tion may be abnormal but is partly followed by the next species, which at present I 
also locate with the genus Anchon.
