Hal. Malvern, Natal (G. Barlcer). 



At once to be distinguished from other nearly similarly- 

 coloured species by the black under-side in connection 

 with the tlavous head ; the female insect is larger, the 

 antennae have the basal joints tlavous only, and the tarsi 

 are more or less iufuscate ; the male organ has a very 

 elongate and pointed apex with the lateral margins acute 

 and subangulate, and a slender filiform process is placed at 

 the anterior cavity. 



Moyiocida tlwracica, sp. n. 



Upper-side black, the clypeus, antennfe, femora and apex of the 

 tibiaj testaceous ; thorax minutely punctured, with a small fovea 

 at each side ; elytra extremely closely and finely punctured, the 

 extreme suture piceous. 



Var. Head, antenna?, the elytra and the tibia? and tarsi, black. 



Length 4 millim. 



Head impunctate, the vertex black, frontal tubercles transverse, 

 strongly raised, bounded behind by a deep, transverse groove, 

 clypeus flavous, labrum piceous, antennte slender and filiform, 

 testaceous, the third joint one-half longer than the second one, the 

 following joints more elongiite ; thorax subquadrate, one-half 

 broader than long, the sides feebly rounded, the angles thickened, 

 the surface with a shallow fovea at each side, very minutely 

 granulate and punctured, scutellum black ; elytra with a very 

 shallow depression below the base, very finely but more distinctly 

 punctured than the thorax, their epipleurfe broad, continued below 

 the middle, under-side black, legs pale fulvous, the base of the 

 tibiffi black. 



Hah. Lower Tugela, Natal (6'. Barlcer). 



Closely allied to M. inwnata, Jac, but differing in the 

 following points : — the head is black at the vertex, not 

 fulvous, the frontal tubercles are not subcpadrate but 

 strongly transverse, the thorax has a lateral fovea and the 

 elytra a shallow basal depression of which there is no 

 trace in J/, iimrnata. 



Sardoidcs transvalensis, sp. n. 



Metallic green, the lower part of the face, the antennae and legs 

 fulvous, thorax subquadrate, rugo.~ely jiunrtured. elytra elongate, of 

 similar sculpture, abdomen piceous. 



Length G millim.
