Schismatops gelei n. sp. 
Dull black; membrane pale fuscous. 
Head long ‘and angulated, the lateral lobes cleft, but their inner 
margins close together, the central lobe less than half the length 
of lateral lobes. Antennæ with the basal joint short, second and 
third joints a little longer and about subequal in length to each 
other, fourth joint a little longer than third and a little shorter 
than fifth joint, Pronotum with the lateral angles moderately and 
_sub-acutely produced, the lateral margins crenulated, a transverse 
ridge beween the lateral angles behind which to base the surface 
is rugulose and punctate, in front of ridge the surface is transver- 
sely and less prominently rugulose and obscurely punctate. Scu- 
tellum rugulose, the apex smooth and finely punctate. Corium very 
finely rugulose and punctate. Rostrum reaching the anterior coxæ. 
Var. a. Colour very dark castaneous, not black. 
Long. : 16 to 20 millim. Exp. pronot. angl. 9 to 10 millim. 
Congo (Capt. Van Gele), Gabon (coll. Dist.) 
This species is very distinct from #’. obscurus Dall. by the longer 
and more pointed head, less produced pronotal angles, different 
colour, etc. 
Gonopsis maura n. sp. 
Reddish-ochraceous; posterior area of the pronotum (defined by 
a transverse ridge between the lateral angles) and the corium very 
dark fuscous. Lateral margins of the head narrowly blackish; scu- 
tellum with black punctures at base, a series of black punctures 
on each lateral margin and the apex very narrowly black; con- 
nexivum ochraceous; membrane pale greyish-ochraceous; a black 
spot at apex of upper surface of abdomen. Body beneath and legs 
reddish-ochraceous. 
Antennæ reddish-ochraceous, second joint longer than the third, 
fifth joint a little longer than the fourth. Head and anterior portion 
of the pronotum coarsely punctate, posterior portion of the pronotum 
and the scutellum coarsely punctate and rugulose; corium thickly 
and finely punctate. 
Long. : 15 millim. Exp. pronot. angl. 8 millim. 
Hab. : Niam-Niam (Bohndorff. 
This species by the shape of the no: is allied to the Japanese 
G. afinis Uhler, and it is probable that both species can scarcely 
be included in the genus as at present defined. 
Gellia rugulosa n. sp. 
Fuscous-brown, rugulose ; antennæ fuscous, with the apical half 
of fourth and the whole of fifth joints ochraceous. 
Lateral lobes of the head rounded in front of the eyes, and meet-
