This species seems clearly to belong to Reuters genus, which 
was founded for the reception of a specimen from Ashanti. 
Aspongopus cyclopeltus n. sp. 
Black, finely rugulose and finely and thickly punctate; scutellum 
transversely rugose; abdomen above red, connexivum black. 
Antennæ with the second joint minute, third joint flattened and 
considerably longer than fourth which is spatulate, fifth joint slen- 
der and cylindrical. Pronotum with the lateral margins convex. 
Long. : 18 to 20 millim. 
Niam-Niam (Bohndorff). 
This species has almost an exact resemblance to Cyclopella fune- 
bris Fabr. and might be mistaken for a large specimen of that 
species, did not the prescence of the minute second joint of the 
antennæ, which makes a fifth antennal joint, at once place it in 
the genres Aspongopus. 
Aspongopus cruralis n. sp. 
Black, finely rugulose and punctate, rostrum and legs ochraceous. 
Antennæ with the second and third joints together a little longer 
than the fourth, second joint about half as long again as the third 
which is shortest, fourth joint slightly ampliated and excavated 
about equal in length to fifth joint which is slender and cylindri- 
cal. Scutellum more rugulose than pronotum or corium. Membrane 
with the apical margin brownish. Rostrum passing the anterior 
coxæ. Anterior femora obsoletely spinose. Posterior tibiæ in female 
dilated on both sides, the inner dilated portion excavated. 
Long. : 18 to 20 millim. 
Niam-Niam (Bohndorff ). 
This species is allied to À. remipes Stäl and its allies. 
Aspongopus xanthopterus. 
Aspongopus æanthopterus Fairm. in Thoms., Arch. ent. II, 
p. 21, 546 (1858). 
Var. a. Antennæ with the fifth joint ochraceous; corium with 
the venation distinctly pale ochraceous. 
Niam-Niam (Bohndorff.). 
It seems more than probable that the À. remipes St£l, À. man- 
thopterus Faïirm., and À. sepulcralis Stäl are all protean forms of 
one species. 
Basicryptus bohndorffi n. sp. 
Dark purplish-brown; membrane luteous; antennæ ochraceous, 
Antennæ with the second joint longer than the third, subequal 
in length to the fourth (fifth joint mutilated). Head finely rugulose, 
with some coarse puncture at base of central lobe. Pronotum with 
the lateral margins dentate, the lateral angles rounded, the basal
