Gen. PSILOPTERA, Sol. 

 p. clialccplioroides, n. sp. 

 Bright metallic-grey, with a coppery sheen on the upper part, 

 underside and legs glowing, coppery-red ; head moderately 

 rounded, irregularly foveate, eyes elongate, narrow; antennte short, 

 greenish ; prothorax nearly twice as broad as long, rounded in the 

 anterior part and also slightly attenuated near the base, depressed, 

 with the outersides nearly flat, irregularly sub-foveate on the 

 disk and sides, and with one small, smooth raised spot in the 

 anterior lateral angle and another on each side of the median 

 longitudinal impression, which is broad and shallow, the outersides 

 not separated from the discoidal part by a longitudinal depres- 

 sion ; elytra as broad as the prothorax at the base, with the 

 humeral angle sloping, moderately sinuate laterally above the 

 median part, as broad in the middle as at the base, gradually 

 aculeate from there to the apex, which ends in a moderately sharp 

 sutural spine, depressed on the upper part, broadly and deeply 

 punctate-striate, with the intervals narrow but much raised, 

 glabrous, but having a broad, supra-marginal, pubescent yellowish 

 band reaching from base to apex. Length 24-25, width 'J-'Ji mm. 



Hoh. Zambezia (Salisbury). 



P. Eeneola, n. sp. 



Dull bronze, with the punctures brighter on both upper and 

 lower parts; head with very short pubescence,broadly and irregularly 

 punctured and with a narrow, transverse raised spot ; prothorax 

 sub-diagonal laterally in the anterior part, nearly straight from 

 there to the base, moderately plane, with the outersides a little 

 more depressed but not separated from the disk by a longitudinal 

 impression, roughly punctured, with the sides very rugose, and with 

 two small but very distinct, smooth tubercles on each side, one at 

 the apical angle, the other in the middle of the anterior part of the 

 disk ; elytra sinuate laterally before the median part, which is as 

 broad as the base, gradually aculeate from beyond the middle to the 

 apex, which ends in an apical and a sutural spine on each side, 

 depressed for some distance from the base, closely punctured, and 

 with five very little raised, nearly smooth costse, interrupted five 

 or six times by an oblong patch of punctures, smaller and more 

 closely set than those in the intervals ; underside and legs pubes-
