The general coloration of this little species agrees with 

 that of many of its allies, but the metallic-green vertex 

 of the head and the strong and close elytral punctuation 

 distinguish the species from any of its African congeners. 



Orejndoder't uniformis, sp. n. 



Flavnus, the apic;il joint of the antennpn infuscate, thorax trans- 

 verse, impunctate, tlio liasal sukuis deeji, elytra strongly punctate- 

 striate, the interstices finely punctured, ilavous, the sutural margin 

 narrowly obscure piceous. 



Length Zh millini. 



Head impunctate, of darker colour than the I'e.-t of the upper 

 surface, obliquely grooved Ijetween the eyes, without any frontal 

 tubercles, the clypeus broad and flat, impunctate, antenmie about 

 half the length of the body, tlavous, the npical joint fuscous, the 

 second one about one-half sliorter than the third, terminal joints 

 slightly thickened ; thorax twice as' broad as long, narrower in 

 front than at the Ijase, the sides rounded, the angles distinct but 

 not produced, the surface impunctate, with a deep transverse sulcus 

 at the base, bounded at the sides by a perpendicular groove which 

 extends upwards a little way beyond the sulcus, scutellum triangular, 

 Ilavous ; elytra not wider at the base than the thorax, rather strongly 

 punctate-striate, the punctures much finer at the apex, the interstices 

 extremely finely punctate, only visilde under a strong lens, the 

 sutural margins narrowly piceous, under-side and the legs flavous, 

 tlie metatarsus of the posterior legs as long as the following three 

 joints together. 



Hah. Malvern, Natal (C. Fxirlcr). 



I have received two specimens of this species which 

 will be easily recognized by the general flavous coloration, 

 the dark elytral suture, and the absence of any frontal 

 elevations. 



Li/'pnea africana, sp. n. 



Elongate, flavous, the outer joints of tlie antenuii;- and the til)ia3 

 and tarsi black, thorax transverse, nearly impunctate, the base with 

 a transverse sulcus, elytra finely punctate-striate. 



Length 5 millim. 



Head impunctate, the frontal elevations nearly contiguous, trans- 

 verse, antennfe filiform, black, the lower two joints ilavous, third 

 joint one-half longer than the second one, terminal joint more 

 slender and elongate ; tliorax about one-half broader than long; the 

 sides very feebly rounded, tlie anterior angles obli'pie, the base with
