This species is, judging from the figure, very much like M. stabilis, 

 Per., Cat. i., p. 878, but in the latter species the prothorax has no 

 longitudinal bands. 



Sub-Family SEEICIN.E. 



Tkibe ABLABEEINI. 



Gen. TULBAGHIA, Per., Catal. ii., p. 89. 



TULBAGHIA PATRUELIS, n. sp. 



Male : Piceous red with the legs sub-rufescent, and also the palps 

 and the pedicels of the antennae the club of which is fuscous ; the 

 inner joint of the latter is very short, and the second slightly 

 shorter than the others which are greatly elongated ; this character 

 distinguishes at once this species from its congener T. cereris (loc. cit., 

 p. 90) ; clypeus rufescent, head fuscous, very closely aciculate 

 punctate ; prothorax plainly punctulate, the punctures divided by 

 an interval slightly smaller than their own diameter; scutellum 

 weakly punctate ; elytra weakly bi-costulate, the outer dorsal costa 

 less distinct than the inner, surface sub-coriaceous ; sides of elytra 

 and prothorax with a fringe of long bristle-like hairs ; anterior tibiae 

 bi-dentate outwardly, tarsi very long and slender. 



Length 6^ mm. ; width 3 mm.

Gen. GAMKA, Cat. i., p. 159. 



This genus which I included in the Pacliypodini must revert to 

 the Ablaberini.

 front, level with the anterior part of the head, separated from it by a 

 very slightly impressed line, labrum vertical, eyes large ; antennal 

 club much longer than the head in the $ , third and fourth joints 

 elongated, club 6-jointed, joints curving; prothorax transverse, 

 ampliate rounded laterally ; the base straight ; scutellum cordate ;

 sharply bi-dentate, hind tibia? broadly dilated at apex, the two spurs, 

 one on each side of the tarsal basal joint, long, all tarsi very long,
