3. Cailiptamulus roseipennis, sp. n. 

 (Plate I, fig. 19.) 



Q. Size as in C. sidjurescens Uvar. Differs from that species 

 in the following cliaracters : 



Frontal ridge above the ocellum flat, strongly punctured, at the 

 ocellum impressed. Fastigium of the vertex forming a distinct, 

 though very obtuse and rounded angle with the frontal ridge. Prono- 

 tum shorter ; lateral keels somewhat convex and distmctly divergent 

 backwards, a.lmost reaching the hind margin. Prosternal tubercle 

 not triangular, but slightly narrowed towards the obtusely angulate 

 apex. Supra-anal plate without any trace of chitinous tubercles, 

 but with a very fine transverse sulcus. Cerci with the apical part 

 subequal in length to the basal part; the lower margin convex 

 from the base up to the apical third, then obtusangulate, and 

 straight in the rest; upper margin of the apical part regularly 

 concave ; apex less obtuse than in C. sulfurescens. 



General coloration brownish-grey, with dark-grey markings. 

 Hind femora with three rather distinct blackish spots on the upper- 

 side; the inner side yellowish- red, somewhat blackened along the 

 upper margin and at the base ; lower inner sulcus orange red. Hind 

 tibiae bright red. Wings rose ; the fore part strongly infumate. 



Length of body 15 mm. ; of pronotum 3-75 mm. ; of elytra 12 

 mm. ; of hind femora 10 mm. 



Type in the Hope Museum, Oxford ; it is from Knysna, 

 Concordia, Cape Province, 22 ii. 1914 (J. B. Longstajf). 



Brachyphymus, gen. nov. 



(J. Rather closely allied to Euryphymus, but less rugose, though 

 not at all shining. Antennae filiform, not compressed. Face 

 vertical sulcate throughout, the sulcus not separated from the 

 impression of the vertex; margins below the ocellum bisinuose. 

 Eyes strongly prominent, round, a little higher than long and scarcely 

 higher than the subocular distance. Cheeks without a distinct 

 oblique impressed furrow. Fastigium of vertex distinctly sloping, 

 twice as broad as the frontal ridge below the ocellum, concave,
