Opsies capra. (Pl. XIII. fig. 3.) 
O. obscure fuscus, punctatus. 
Hab. Natal. 
Dark brown, everywhere covered with minute scales, the upper sur- 
face with large remote punctures; head not broader than the prothorax 
at its insertion; mandibles pitchy black; prothorax oblong-ovate, with 
two spreading tubercles on the disk; scutellum transverse, rounded 
posteriorly ; elytra ovate, not much longer than the prothorax and head 
together, the apex slightly produced and rounded, with a sutural row 
of three tubercles and an outer of five on each elytron; legs, especially 
the tibiz, elongate, the posterior femora extending to nearly the apex 
of the elytra; body beneath dull brown; the three intermediate ab- 
dominal segments very short; antennze scarcely so long as the body. 
Length 6 lines, 
Phantasis heros. (Pl. XIII. fig. 7.) 
P. nigra, nitida; prothorace medio abrupte tuberculato, tuberculo bilobato 
cum lobis postice divaricatis; elytris obovatis; antennis tibiisque gri- 
seo pubescentibus. 
Hab. Natal. 
Black, glabrous, shining; head coarsely punctured, the antennary 
tubers not toothed at the base in front; palpi ovato-triangular, obtuse ; 
prothorax strongly spined on the side, very irregular, with a large 
elevated tubercle rising abruptly from the middle of the disk, the 
tubercle rounded anteriorly, spreading out in two divaricate lobes be- 
hind; scutellum small, slightly emarginate posteriorly ; elytra convex, 
obovate, broader behind, with three rows of large tubercles, and a 
sutural row of smaller tubercles on each; abdomen beneath black and 
shining, with a fringe of buffish hairs at the sides of each segment; 
_ pectus, coxee, base of the femora, and tibize covered with a greyish pile, 
the latter with a yellowish tinge ; antennze shorter than the body, with 
a dull greyish pubescence. Length 15 lines. 
Nearly as large as P. gigantea, Guér., but more convex, and the 
elytra without the smaller interserial tubercles, in which respect 
and in its glossy glabrous derm it differs from all the other described 
species (four) known to me. Phantasis, Thom., differs from Phris- 
soma, Lap., principally in the total absence of humeral angles.
