Angustus, rufus, nitidus, elytra vitta lata juxta suturali antic© 

 posticeque longe abbreviata in singulo nigra, antennae, totae, palpi 

 pedesque pallida flavo testacei caput impunctatum sulcis profundis ; 

 prothorax longitudine baud latior, ad punctum anticum lateraliter 

 nonnihil sub-rotundato ampliatus pone medium sensim at fere recte 

 attenuatum angulis posticis distinctis, basi truncatus in hoc loco 

 apice tertio angustior, vix convexiusculus in medio distincte canalicu- 

 latus, postice impressione sub-angusta, profunda utrinque prseditus, 

 omnino levigatus ; scutellum impunctatum ; elytra oblonga, nonnihil 

 elongata, prothorace latiora, fere quadruplo longiora, ad humeros vix 

 rotundata, convexiuscula, tenuiter striata interstitiis praesertim pone 

 basim convexis, vitta dorsali longitudinali nigra lata ab interstitio 

 primo usque ad quintum extensa, a basi apiceque longe remota, 

 ornata. 



Long. 4 mm. ; lat. 1^ mm. 



This species has a slightly more elongated facies than the other 

 South African species, from which it differs also by the shape of 

 the prothorax, which is slightly more narrowed behind with the 

 posterior angle distinct ; the posterior impressions are not so 

 broad and are deeper, and the median longitudinal groove is very 

 distinct.

 Tefflus kafuenus, n. sp. 



Niger, nitidus, elongatus, sensim angustus ; prothorax baud ampli- 

 atus, latitudine fere quarto longior, lateribus in medio vix acute 

 productis, rude rugoso punctatus, disco longitudinaliter tenue canali- 

 culate ; elytra suboblonga, sublate sulcata, sulcis aspero granulatis, 

 interstitiis levibus, convexis vel subtectiformibus, tibiis supra pro- 

 funde canaliculatis. 



Length 39 mm. ; width 13 mm. 



This species is easily distinguished from the other African species 

 by its comparatively narrow, and therefore more elongated form ; 

 the prothorax is much less ampliated laterally in the centre, the 

 ampliation occurring slightly past the middle, and also much less
