20 Dr. G. A. K. Marshall on African 
edge of the scape running far below the eye. Prothorax 
perfectly smooth, the punctation and clothing as on the 
head, and without any central stria or carina; the basal 
margin not carinate, the front margin straight dorsally and 
hardly sinuate behind the eyes, and the sides very slightly 
rounded. Elytra very broadly ovate, the transverse dorsal 
curve very flat; the actual apex rapidly narrowed to a 
rounded point, but not visible directly from above; the basal 
margin jointly sinuate, embracing the base of the prothorax, 
but not constricted or marginate; the surface quite even, 
with regular rows of small separated punctures, each con- 
taining a minute seta; the intervals broad and finely 
coriaceous (the sculpture hidden by the scaling), and 
bearing irregularly placed, small, reeumhent, scale-like sete, 
which are by no means easy to see; the suture completely 
hidden by the scalin». 
Length 4-5 mm., breadth 23-3 mm. 
OranceE Free Strate: Bothaville (Dr. H. Brauns). 
Described from seven specimens. 
Leurops obesa, sp. n. 
6. Colour black, clothed with dense, uniform, ash-grey 
scaling; the antenne, legs, and part of the mandilles 
piceous. 
Very closely allied to the genotype, but differing as 
follows :—/Head with the eyes more nearly circular (34:8). 
Rostrum distinctly longer, a little longer than its basal 
width ; the upper edge of the scrobe, if continued, would 
touch the lower margin of the eye, whereas in ZL. cana it 
would pass far below the eye; the scrobe itself distinctly 
shallower behind. Prothorax propoitionately longer, with 
the front margin more deeply smuate behind the eye. 
Length 5 mm., breadth 3 mm.

Leurops substriata, sp. n. 
3 ¢. Colour black, with dense scaling; the legs and 
antenne piceous black. In a well-marked specimen the 
pattern is as follows :—Ground-colour pale grey ; the upper- 
side of the lead and rostrum light brown, except the apex 
of the latter and a bisinuate transverse line at its base, a 
central line on the forehead and a stripe above each eye,
