In addition to the above, Dr. Hayes presented three insects captured by
him at Gedaref in the Soudan, including a pair of a magnificent new
species of Buprestid beetle of the genus _Sternocera_, taken _in coitu_.
This species has recently been described, from Dr. Hayes’ specimen and
two others in the British Museum, by Mr. C. O. Waterhouse, who has
given it the name _Sternocera druryi_ (“Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.” Oct.,
1904, p. 247). The third insect is an example of a Cantharid beetle,
which does great damage to the crops at Gadarif. Its determination as
_Mylabris hybrida_ (Bohem.) is therefore a matter of some importance.
