African Species of Erotylide. 153 
Paleolybas apicalis, sp. n. 
Sanguineo-rufus, elytrorum humeris, marginibus externis parteque 
tertia apicali, antennarumque clava nigris; late ovalis, convexus, 
nitidus, capite et pronoto subtilissime haud crebre punctatis, 
hujus lateribus bene arcuatis, angulis anticis haud acutis, elytris 
vix perspicue striato-punctatis; antennarum articulis tribus 
ultimis minutis : 
3, elytrorum dimidio postico medio opaco, velut sericeo. 
Long. 8-9 mm.; lat. max. 6 mm. 
Ucanpa: Entebbe (C. C. Gowdey, Aug., Nov.). 
Three practically identical specimens are all males, and the 
opaque round area common to the two elytra upon their 
posterior half is very distinct. The species closely resembles 
P. cychramoides, Gorh., of which I have seen only a single 
female ; but, besides a considerable extension of the black 
colour at the apex of the elytra, it is larger and relatively 
broader, with the puncturation finer, the sides of the pro- 
thorax more rounded, and the front angles blunter. The 
antenne are very delicate, with joints 4 to.8 rather elongate. 
Paleolybas bizonatus, sp. u. 
Sanguineo-rufus, pronoto maculis tribus rotundis (una mediana 
majori, unaque utrinque versus angulos anticos sita), elytris 
zonis duabus (prima basali, secunda paulo post medium) undu- 
latis lateraliter anguste connexis, pedibus antennarumque clava 
nigris; ovalis, convexus, capite pronotoque minute sat crebre 
punctatis, elytris minutissime punctato-striatis; antennarum 
articulis tribus ultimis haud minutis, 
Long. 5°5-8 mm. ; lat. max. 4°6-5 mm. 
Ucanpns: Tero Forest (C. C. Gowdey, July), Southern 
Toro, Mbarara, 8800-4200 ft. (S. 4. Neave, Oct.). 
This is rather less broadly oval than the two preceding 
species and rather less shining, the puncturation being rather 
less fine than in P. apicalis, but more so than in P. nigro- 
cinctus. The antenne are a little shorter and stouter. 
The sexes differ only in the more dilated tarsi of the 
male. 
Palaolybas letus, sp. n. 
Sanguineo-rufus, pronoto utrinque minute nigro-punctato, elytris 
extus bimaculatis (macula humerali aliaque paulo post medium 
' intus leviter hamata, maculis duabus ad marginem connexis), 
pedibus (tarsis exceptis) antennarumque claya nigra; ovalis,
