spots nearly as in Lotis, both near inner third and at two-fifths and three-fourths 

 from the base respectively ; flanks regularly declivous to the edge, which is 

 minutely reflexo-beaded. Length 1^-1.6 mm. ; width 1.25 mm. Wellington. 

 Differs from the following in its larger size and maculate elytra. 

 Telsimia inornata, sp. nov. — Broadly rounded, strongly somewhat compresso- 

 convex, shining, strongly, closely punctate, the pubescence rather short, ashy, 

 suberect and moderately abundant ; elytra without ornamentation, the edge 

 slightly more thickly reflexo-beaded than in tetrasticta ; metacoxal arcs more 

 apical but still far from the apex of the segment, the tarsi more slender, with 

 the basal joint more elongate. Length 1.1 mm.; width 0.9 mm. Liberia 

 (Mt. Coffee). 



The genus Telsimia has been sufficiently characterized in the body 

 ot the present paper under the head of Telsimiini. 



Pharus 6-guttatus Gyll. — Wellington. 



Pharus inaequalis, sp. nov. — Similar to 6-guttatus but more oblong and less 

 rounded, with the prothorax relatively narrower, more rounded at the sides 

 and more strongly and closely punctured ; elytra with the spot at the middle 

 and inner fourth very much smaller than the other two, and not subequal as in 

 6-guttatus ; under surface and legs black throughout. Length 2.4 mm.; 

 width 1.8 mm. Cape Town. 



Pharopsis (gen. nov.) subglaber, sp. nov. — Broadly oval, very strongly convex, 

 black throughout above and beneath, the legs not paler, minutely but evidently 

 punctate, the elytra sparsely so, polished and glabrous; head and pronotum 

 duller, strongly microreticulate and clothed with very short, rather sparse, de- 

 cumbent and inconspicuous silvery-gray hairs ; basal joint of the tarsi elongate, 

 the claws simple and strongly arcuate. Length 1. 45 mm.; width 1.2 mm. 

 Wellington. 



This genus has been defined previously in the present paper, under 

 the head of Pharini. 



Hyperaspis felixi Jl/u/s. — Wellington. 



Hyperaspis newcombi, sp. nov. — Elongate, suboblong-oval, moderately convex, 

 polished, black throughout above and beneath, the head, except at the basal 

 margin, and the sides of the pronotum in a parallel area nearly twice as long 

 as wide with the inner outline feebly bisinuate, orange-yellow ; elytra with a 

 rounded marginal pale spot at apical sixth of the length ; anterior legs pale, 

 the two posterior pairs black. Length 2.7 mm.; width 1.8 mm. Wellington. 

 Named in honor of Prof. Simon Newcomb. Differs from mercki in the form 

 of the subapical spot of the elytra, which is here much smaller and separated 

 throughout its extent from the margin by the fine black bead, becoming only 

 slightly more distant posteriorly ; it is separated from the suture by rather more 

 than its own width. 



Cranophorus notatulus Muh. — Wellington. The male has the fifth segment 

 broadly sinuato-truncate, with a small suberect liguliform tooth at the middle 

 of the apical edge, the sixth angularly emarginate, with the surrounding surface 

 deeply impressed, and, through the emargination, a small seventh segment can 

 be discerned.
