anterior angles thickened, slightly excurved; disk re- 
motely punctured in the middle, more closely and strongly 
punctured on the sides; surface impressed on either side 
at the base by a deep fovea, and at the apex on each side, 
by a strongly punctured perpendicular groove, which ex- 
tends backwards for about one-fourth the length of the 
disk; from its apex a similar groove extends directly 
outwards to the outer margin, whilst a second curves 
obliquely inwards, and terminates a short distance in front 
of the basal margin; entire limb of thorax distinctly mar- 
gined. EHlytra oblong, convex, strongly and regularly 
punctate-striate, the outer interspaces moderately con- 
vex; nigro-piceous, the outer limb narrowly edged with 
castaneous; each interspace with a number of fulvous 
spots, placed at irregular distances on its surface. 
Blepharida ornata. 
Anguste oblongo-ovata, convexa, pallide fulvo-picea, 
nitida, antennis extrorsum oculisque nigris; thorace 
transverso, lateribus rotundatis, disco minute punctato, 
antice utrinque linea perpendiculari e punctis majoribus 
formata instructo; elytris sat fortiter punctato-striatis, in- 
terspatiis planis, ad marginem convexiusculis; castaneis, 
extus et ad basin nigro-piceo tinctis; flavo maculatis, 
vitta suturali alteraque discoidali (hac basi et apice ex- 
cepta) immaculatis. 3. Abdominis apice concavo-

Hab. Transvaal. 
Head sparingly and minutely punctured ; interocular 
spaces bounded within by a deep sinuate groove; eyes 
narrow, elongate; antenne half the length of the body, 
six or seven outer joints black. Thorax three times as 
broad as long; sides broadly rounded, converging in 
front, the anterior angles thickened; disk minutely 
punctured, faintly excavated on either side near the outer 
margin ; anterior disk impressed on either side with four 
or five distinct punctures which form a perpendicular row 
extending from the apical margin to the middle of the 
thorax. Scutellum trigonate. Elytra broader than the 
thorax, oblong-ovate, slightly attenuated towards the 
apex in the male, convex, not depressed below the basilar 
space, strongly punctate-striate, the striz near the outer 
margin sulcate ; interspaces obsoletely granulose, plane
