supra vix convexis, punctulato striatis, interstitiis planis, vage 

 aciculatis ; abdomine sub-infuscato. 



This species differs from all the other South African species by its 

 impunctate upper side and the great ampliation of the posterior part 

 of the elytra; the shape of the black patch on the elytra is not unlike 

 that of L. imitator, but it reaches the scutellum in L. promontorii, 

 which it does not in the former which has also the head black. 



Length 5^ mm. ; width 2^ mm.

Lebia sebakuana, n. sp. 



Pallide testacea, glabra, capite nigro, antennis prothoraceque 

 rufo-testaceis ; elytris fascia communi nigra basi quadrata ibidem 

 striam attingente, deinde angustata, pone medium modice dilatata, 

 plaga laterali utrinque a fascia communi late interrupta notatis ; 

 capite crebre aciculato, lateribus strigillatis ; prothorace ampliato, 

 longitudine tertio latiore, antice lateraliter ampliato rotundato, postice 

 distincte sinuato angulis acutis, reflexis, medio canaliculato, disco 

 distincte aciculato ; elytris a medio ad apicem perparum ampliatis, 

 nonnihil convexis, punctato striatis, interstitiis convexis, creberrime 

 aciculatis. 



The South African species to which this species might be compared 

 owing to the head being black, and also to the shape of the dorsal 

 markings, is L. vaciva, P6r., which is, however, densely pubescent, 

 quite differently sculptured, and much larger.

Lebia tenella, n. spec. 



Glabra, capite prothoraceque rufo-flavis ; elytris subtusque 

 stramineis, illis fascia communi nigra basi-quadrata striam 4 

 attingente, deinde angustata, pone medium ad marginem lateralem 

 utrinque extensa, longe ante apicem desinente ornatis ; abdominis 

 segmentis duobus ultimis infuscatis; capite antice aciculato, lateraliter 

 conspicue plicato ; prothorace antice ampliato rotundato, deinde fere 

 recto, angulis posticis acutis, reflexis, medio canaliculato, disco crebre 

 aciculato ; elytris a medio ad apicem perparum ampliatis, haud 

 convexis, punctulato striatis, interstitiis planis, tenuissime creber- 

 rimeque aciculatis. 



One of the smallest of the South African species ; the livery 

 resembles that of L. fortuita and of L. natalensis, but the lateral
