„o. — Black, liead closely' punctured and semiopaque; an 
elevated shining runs from anterior ocellus to the insertion of 
the antennae, wliere it terminates in a slight tubercle; thorax 
and abdomen shining and punctured, not very closely and 
sparingly so on the disk of the former; abdomen fringed with 
black pubescence at the sides; wings dark brown-black, with a 
bright purple iridescence intermixed with shades of green; 
flagellum of the antennae, except the 2 basal joints, ochraceous 
beneath. — Long. 9 lines (= 19 mm). 
This is the X. frontalis of Ferret & Galinier, but not of 
Ol i vier and Fabricius; have therefore changed the name. 
Angola, Abyssinia.“ 
3 — Black, with black pubescence; that on the front ol 
the thorax above and that on each side of the basal segment 
of the abdomen above griseous; elypeous and face, as high as 
the insertion of the antennae yellowish-white; the underside of 
the flagellum fulvous. Thorax and abdomen rather closely 
punctured, the disk of the. former impunctate, the posterior 
femora incrassate and with a subtriangular flattened projecting 
process behind; wings brown, not very dark, palest towards the 
base and with a purple iridescence. 
Angola. 
This is probably the 3 of X. carinata.“ 
Mir liegen von X. carinata 1 3 und 5 $ aus Central- und 
Süd-Africa vor; ich glaube aber, dass sie, da die Art bereits 
aus Abessynia nachgewiesen wurde, auch noch in Aegypten 
und Arabien gefunden wird.
