part, the outer one is shorter than the dorsal keel, and the whole 

 surface is as closely and deeply pitted as the prothorax ; the under 

 side of the prothorax and elytra is more plainly spotted with dark 

 spots. 



Length 10^ mm. ; width 4 mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Umtali). A. Bodong. 



Somewhat similar in general shape to E. grandicollis, Gerst., 

 which occurs also in the same locality, but the latter is much 

 broader and has no keel on the elytra.

GEN. LYPEOPS, Hope. 

 LYPKOPS MOSAMBICUS, n. sp. 



Black, with the elytra very dark chestnut-brown, clothed on the 

 upper side with a very dense, short but erect greyish, flavescent 

 pubescence ; head with the transverse impression above the epistoma 

 broad and deep, covered, except the labrum which is punctulate, 

 with round deep punctures more closely set in the anterior than in 

 the posterior part, the latter is very little produced behind the ridge 

 of the very large eyes ; prothorax roundly ampliated laterally in the 

 anterior part and narrowed thence to the base, one-third broader 

 than long, very little convex, and covered with round punctures 

 separated by an interval slightly narrower than their diameter; 

 scutellum closely punctulate ; elytra slightly ampliated laterally 

 behind, a little depressed in the anterior part, and covered with 

 round deep punctures separated by an interval about equal to their 

 diameter; legs and under side fuscous, pubescent. 



Length 7 mm. ; width 3 mm. 



Allied to L. pilosus, Mull., but less densely pubescent, and much 

 less coarsely punctured on the head and prothorax.

LYPROPS NAMAQUENSIS, n. sp. 



Ferruginous-red, antennae also ferruginous; it is clothed on the 

 upper side with long greyish, upright hairs ; head roughly foveolate, 

 slightly elongated behind the eyes, joints 7-10, slightly longer than 

 or as long as wide, presumably according to the sex ; prothorax as 

 wide as long, not ampliated and rounded laterally in front if seen 

 from above, but gradually narrowed towards the base, roughly
