This is one of the smaller species which is well dis- 

 tinguished by its coloration ; in some specimens, however, 

 the black elytral portion includes a larger or smaller spot 

 or space of the fulvous ground-colour; in the male, the 

 last abdominal segment has the median lobe of transversely 

 subquadrate and flattened shape. 



Liipcrodcs nigrotihiaUs, sp. n. 



Oblong, very convex, the aiitennse, tibite and tarsi and the under- 

 side black, uppurside testaceous, thorax sub(|uadrate, impunctate like 

 the elytra. 



Length 5 luillini. 



Head impunctate, pale fulvous, shining, frontal tubercles strongly 

 raised, trigonate, carina broad, convex, labruni black, antenntu ex- 

 tending below the middle of the elytra, black, the base of each 

 joint more or less fulvous, second one one-third lower than the 

 third, the latter about half the length of the fourth joint ; thorax 

 scarcely broader than long, convex, the sides slightly rounded before 

 the middle, the anterior angles thickened, the sin-face entirely im- 

 punctate, testaceous ; elytra scarcely wider at the base than the 

 thorax, very slightly widened below the middle, impunctate, their 

 epipleurte continued below the middle ; under-side black, the femora 

 Havous, tibias with a long spine, black like the tarsi, the metatarsus 

 of the posterior legs rather longer than the following joints together, 

 anterior cosal cavities open. 



Hah. Grahamstown, S. Africa {Bcv. CNcil). 



Of less than half the size of Z. sulphuripcnnis, Jac, and 

 with black antennae tibiie and tarsi, but otherwise similar 

 to the last-named species. 



Lu'penis dmibrodyensis, sp. n. 



Narrowly elongate, subdepressed, flavous, thorax subcjuadrate, 

 nearly impunctate, elytra extremely minutely punctured, rather 

 flattened. 



Length 2i-3 millim. 



Head imi)unctate, the vertex more or less obscure piceous, shining, 

 frontal tubercles strongly raised, transverse, carina small Ijut distinct, 

 antenmc entirely flavous, extending below the nnddle of the elytra, 

 the third joint one-half longer than the second one ; thorax one- 

 half broader than long, the sides slightly rounded at the middle, 

 with a very narrow margin, anterior angles slightly thickened, not 

 produced, the disc only perceptibly punctured when seen under a
