40 Mr. M. Jacoby's DescrijJtions of Neio Genera and 



versely rugose, tlie interstices minutely granulate and finely 

 punctured, legs fulvous, tlie tarsi blaclc. 



Hah. Ifafa Mountains and Malvern, Natal 

 {C. Bao'Jcco^. 



Closely allied to TI. naiaJcnsis, Jac, but the thorax 

 shorter aud much more trausverse, the antenna3 longer, 

 and the legs fulvous, not black. The antennae in the 

 female are much shorter, and both the second aud third 

 joint are short and equal. 



Monolepta camerunensis, sp. n. 



Elongate, subcylindrical, fulvous, thorax subquadrate, strongly 

 punctured, elytra punctured like the thorax, in closely approached 

 irregular lines, the interstices slightly longitudinally raised. Length 

 G niillini. 



Head sparingly but strongly punctured, with a short central 

 groove, frontal elevations strongly raised, trigonate, lower portion 

 of face flavous, antenna' extending nearly to the apex of the elytra, 

 fulvous, the second and third joint very small, equal, the others very 

 elongate with the exception of tlie tiftli joint which is shorter ; thorax 

 about one-half broader than long, all the margins rounded, the disc, 

 rather convex, closely and strongly punctured at the sides, much more 

 sparingly so at the middle where there are two smooth and impunc- 

 tate small spaces, scutellum smooth, elytra very elongate and sub- 

 cylindrical, as strongly jiunctured as the thorax, with traces of longi- 

 tudinal, raised lines ; under-side paler than the upper-side, the 

 terminal tibial spur very long, metatarsus longer than the following 

 joints together. 



Hah. Cameroons. 



I only know of a single specimen of tliis rather largo- 

 sized species, contained in my collection ; the entirely 

 fulvous colour and the strongly punctured upper surface 

 well distinguish it. 



Monolc'fita violacci])cnnis, sp. n. 



Flavous, the antennse, breast, tibioe, and tarsi black, thorax strongly 

 transverse, sparingly punctured, elytra dark violaceous, closely and 

 finely punctured. Length 3 J mil lira. 



Of posteriorly widened shape, the head impunctate, flavous, frontal 

 elevations narrow, transverse, clypeus with an acute central ridge, 

 apex of the labrum and the 2:ialpi black, antennte nearly extending 

 to the apex of the elytra, the basal joint flavous, the others black,
