SG Mr. M. Jacoby's Descriptions of New Genera and 



punctured in obsolete rows, with traces of sulci, very feebly indicated, 

 legs flavous. 



Hah. W. AfhiCA. 



The single male specimen contained in my collection 

 has the joints of the attennse much more strongly curved 

 than in F. curvicornis, Jac, and metallic elytra ; there is 

 also a fringe of hairs at the lower edge of each of the 

 antennae as well as on the lateral thoracic margins. 



Platyxantha {Haiolotes) occipitalis, sp. n. (Plate III, fig. 14.) 



Testaceous, the vertex of the head and the antennte black, thorax 

 flavous, deeply bifoveolate, impuiictate, elytra finely punctured, all 

 the margins narrowly, the lateral ones more broadly black, legs 

 flavous, the tibire (excepting the base) and the tarsi black. Length 

 5 millini. 



Head impunctate, the lower portion flavoiis, the vertex black, 

 frontal elevations transverse, narrow, strongly raised, clypeus with 

 an acute central ridge, antenna; with slightly curved and somewhat 

 triangularly widened joints, black, the basal joint moderately long, 

 thickened at the apex, second joint very short, moniliform, the 

 following joints about as long as the first, all of nearly equal length ; 

 thorax about one-half broader than long, subquadrate, deeply trans- 

 versely sulcate, the sulcus interrupted at the middle, the surface 

 impunctate, flavous, scutelluni flavous, elytra testaceous, finely punc- 

 tured, the lateral margins, epipleuree more broadly, the other margins 

 very narrowly black, metatarsus of the hind legs elongate, tibiae 

 simple. 



Hah. Lower Tugela, Natal {G. Bctrher). 



I only know a single specimen of this species, apparently 

 a female, which differs from its allies in its system of color- 

 ation ; in the male, the antennoB have probably some joint 

 or other distorted as in most members of the genus. 



Haplotcs hifasciata, sp. n. (Plate III, fig. 13.) 



Fulvous ; thorax transversely sulcate, impunctate ; elytra ex- 

 tremely minutely granulate, not perceptibly punctured, the basal 

 half and a narrow transverse band below the middle, blackish. 

 Length 6 millim. 



Head impunctate, deeply transversely grooved betAveen the eyes, 

 frontal elevations narrowly transverse, eyes large and round, labrum 

 fuscoi;s, antenna) slender, filiform, fulvous, the intermediate joints 

 more or less fuscous above, basal joint long and curved, second,
