Paromalus cxiarinis F!HK 

 Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto-steppe and region of culture, aug., 1905; 4 sp. 



Tribalns eaveniicola n. sp. 



Ovalis, supra subdepressus, subaeneus, nitidus; f route concava. supra oculos 

 elevata, fere Isevis; pronoto basi transversim impresso; elytris striis obsoletis; pro- 

 sterno, striis utrinque divergentibus ; antennis pedibusque obscure brunneis. 



L. 3 mill. 



Oval, somewhat depressed above, brassy, shining ; the head, concave anteriorly 

 with lateral margins elevated, surface almost impunctate; the thorax is evenly, finely 

 and rather closely punctulate, marginal stria complete, along the middle of the basal 

 edge there is a narrow transverse rugose impression; the elytra, dorsal strife short 

 oblique and ill-defined, disc and the pygidia are almost smooth; the prosternum, 

 lobe marginate, clearly punctured and microscopically strigose, strise divergent before 

 and behind, keel lightly sculptured ; the mesosternum, marginal stria very fine and 

 interrupted in the middle, evenly, sparingly and very minutely punctulate, transverse 

 stria well-marked with sixteen crenellations ; the antennae, pale-brown, legs obscurely 

 brownish. 



Similar is form and colour to T. capensis PAYK. but the surface sculpture of 

 PAYKULL'S species is densely punctulate. 



Usambara: Tanga, in the Mkulumusi-caves. 



Pachycrserus moutaiius n. sp. 



Oblongus, subcylindricus, viridi-cyaneus; fronte impressa, stria integra; pronoto 

 stria marginali antice late interrnpta; elytris striis do rsalibus 1 4 integris, 5 obsoleta, 

 suturali dimidiata; propygidio pygidioque fortius punctatis; prosterno bistriato, striis 

 rectis haud conjunctis; mesosterno antice immarginato; tibiis anticis 6-dentatis. 



L. 5V 3 6 mill. 



Oblong, somewhat cylindrical, greenish blue, shining; the head slightly im- 

 pressed anteriorly, marginal stria complete, surface microscopically punctulate ; the 

 thorax, marginal stria widely interrupted behind the head, disc before the scutellum 

 smooth but behind the head and laterally it is conspicuously punctured; the elytra. 

 strise, outer humeral fine and bent and reaches the middle from the apex, 1 4 

 complete, 5 short, feeble and apical, sometimes wholly wanting, sutural well-marked 

 and reaching just beyond the middle; the pygidia are rather closely and coarsely 

 punctured; the prosternum, striae are straight and parallel not meeting at either end 

 nor quite reaching the base; the mesosternum is somewhat acute and immarginate; 

 the anterior tibise are 6-dentate. 



In colour this species somewhat resembles P. Raffrayi LEW. but the form is a 

 little less cylindrical.
