PABAMAEYGMUS GRATIOSUS, n. sp. 



Closely allied to the two preceding species, and also bright bronze, 

 the legs, however, are ferruginous, and the antennae, the five penul- 

 timate joints of which are turbinate and the last one ovoid, are 

 slightly rufescent, but the basal joints are infuscate ; the prothorax 

 is very finely punctulate, the punctures are elongated, and the 

 intervals slightly strigillate laterally ; the elytra instead of being 

 ovate are sub-parallel from the base to about two-thirds of the 

 length and acuminate thence to the apex, they are convex near 

 the base and slope thence to the posterior part, the intervals are 

 plane in the anterior part, but slightly convex in the posterior 

 lateral part, and there is a conspicuous series of elongated punc- 

 tures along the carinate epipleural fold, the intervals are finely 

 punctulate. 



Length 5f mm. ; width 4 mm.

 NESOGENA CAFFBA, n. sp. 



Bronze, moderately shining on the head and prothorax, elytra 

 greenish-bronze with the strias greener than the intervals ; head very 

 closely and somewhat deeply, although finely punctate, the frontal 

 part has a transverse impression, broader and deeper than the one 

 separating the forehead from the epistoma which is broadly arcuate 

 and simple, antennas black, joints 6-10 gradually ampliated, trans- 

 verse and compressed, last joint longer, but not broader than 

 the preceding ; prothorax gradually ampliated laterally from the 

 apex to the base, only slightly sinuate near the anterior angle, and 

 covered all over with very closely set punctures ; scutellum rounded 

 at the apex ; elytra strongly gibbose in the anterior part and sharply 

 sloping from the median to the apex, strongly acuminate in the 

 posterior part, deeply, yet finely striate, and the striae closely punc- 

 tate, intervals plane in the anterior part but becoming gradually 

 convex in the declivous posterior one as they near the apex, thev 

 are either quite impunctate or faintly aciculate ; under side strigillate, 

 glabrous like the upper side. 



Length 7-7^ mm. ; width 5-5i mm. 



I have seen two examples of this species collected by Wahlberg, 

 and labelled Caffraria.
