Paromaliis pxiguus Fähü 

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



Tribalus cavernicola n. sp. 



Ovalis, supra subdepressus, subseneus, nitidus; fronte concava. supra oculos 

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

 sterno, striis utrinque divergentibus ; antennis pedibusque obscure brunneis. 



L. 3 miU. 



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 Striae short 

 obhque and ill-defined, diso and the pygidia are almost smooth; the prosternum. 

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

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

 interrupted in the middle, evenly, sparinglj^ 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 Payr, but the surface sculpture of 

 Paykull's species is densely punctulate. 



Usamhara: Tanga, in the Mkulumusi-caves. 



Pacliycrairus montanus n. sp. 



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

 Stria marginali antice late interrupta; elytris striis dorsalibus 1—4 integris, 5 ob.soleta, 

 suturali dimidiata; propygidio pygidioque fortius punctatis; pro.sterno bistriato, striis 

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



L. öVa— 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, 

 Striae, 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 coarsel}' 

 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;

 little less cylindrical.
