antice sat rotundatis, etiamque leviter marginatis, sparsim et 
subtiliter punctato; scutello minuto, triangulari; elytris sub- 
rotundatis, subtiliter et subremote punctatis ; corpore subtus, ab- 
domine, antennis pedibusque rufo-fuscis.

This species is peculiar among the others of this paper by being 
the only one in which the punctures are not arranged in striz, 
but are scattered without arrangement over the whole surface 
of the elytra. 
I received a single specimen from the collection of the Marquis 
La Ferté, taken at the Cape. 
10. P. nigro-enea, n. sp. 
P, ovalis, punctata, nigro-zenea, nitida ; capite inter oculos transverse 
et subcirculariter depresso, brevi; thorace lato, lateribus parallelis, 
antice rotundatis ; angulis anticis haud acuminatis, lateribus te- 
nuiter marginatis, subtiliter et sparsim punctato; scutello tri- 
angulari, leevi, nigro ; elytris fortiter punctatis, punctis sat con- 
fertis, vix striis dispositis; corpore subtus, abdomine, pedibus 
antennisque rufo-nigris.

With the exception of P. /evigata, this is the only species 
that I know that is absolutely and entirely concolorous. From 
that species it differs by its much smaller size and the arrange- 
ment of the punctures on the elytra; there is something like 
the stria-like rows which generally obtain, though these are very 
uneven and irregular. 
A single specimen from the collection of M. Chrevrolat. 
ll. P. nigra, n. sp. 
P. ovata, sat rotundata, punctato-striata, nigra; capite fovea iuter 
oculos armata transversa, rufo; thorace elytris angustiore, lateribus 
ad basin parallelis, antice rotundatis, disco sparsim et subtiliter 
sed apud latera fortius punctato, rufo, margine basali late nigro ; 
scutello levi, nigro ; elytris thorace latioribus, punctato-striatis, 
punctis zequalibus, haud apicem versus obsoletis ; corpore subtus 
tusco-nigro; antennis pedibusque rufis vel rufo-fuscis. 
Long. corp. lin. 3; lat. 24. 
I register this as the typical pattern of a new species, although 
it is possible that it may ultimately be proved to be but a dark 
variety: it has no such relationship, however, to any of the 
species before me. 
The only example that I know was received by my friend 
Mr. Baly from Port Natal, and is in his cabinet.
