Cerambyx nebulosus^ Voet Coleopt. Etl. Panz., 3, p. 20, 18, tab. 7, f. 18. 
This species is black, clothed with a greyish powder, and thickly 
irrorated with dirty fulvous dots. On the crown of the head are 
two small triangular dark patches, and the hind margin of the 
head is black; the mandibles of the male are small, black, and 
unarmed; the disc of the prothorax is rugose and grey, with 
numerous small dirty fulvous marks; the elytra are closely 
covered with minute punctures, and numerous irregular small 
fulvous dots, in addition to which each is marked with the three 
ordinary, slightly elevated, polished, black, longitudinal lineolse ; 
the legs and undei’side of the thorax are variegated with luteous 
black and grey; and the abdomen is grey, with the centre black, 
each segment, except the last, being marked on each side with a 
small fulvous patch. 
LAMIA (TRAGOCEPHALA?) GLAUCINA, Dej. 
L. obscure fusca opaca; thorace striga lara media maculisque duabus lateralibus ; elytrisqiie 
(plaga magna basalt triangulari excepta) pallide fiavescentibus. Long corp. lin. 13^-. 
Habitat —? In Mus, Chcvrolat (olim Olivierii). 
This pretty species is nearly allied to Lamia angulata of 
Olivier, and L. bicolor (W. ante, pi. 78, fig. 4). It is on this 
account that I presume it to be .an African species, differing chiefly 
from the last-named insect in its less robust form and shorter 
antennse, which might indicate it to be the female of that species; 
but the pale markings on the thorax, and the largo triangular 
dark patch on the base of the elytra, must, I conceive, bo 
regarded as indicating a distinct species. The general colour is 
opaque dark blackish-brown ; the markings on the thorax and the 
elytra (except the basal patch and the small lateral streaks) are of 
a very pale yellow colour, having a greenish tinge. 
Ols. Lamia humeralis, Fabricius, Ent. Sj st., 1, part 2, p. 281, appears also to belong to 
the sub-geuus Sternotomis. 
The plant represented in Plate 85 is Iris pavonia, and that in 
Plate-86 is Trichonema roseum, both from Southern Africa.
