XXV.—The African Species of Ebzus, Er., with an Account 
of their accessory 3 -characters [Coleoptera]. By G. C. 
Crampton, F.Z.5. 
Tue present paper, in continuation of, the one on Hedybius 
and its allies published in the last volume of this Magazine 
(pp. 449-494), is based upon a study of the African bet 
belonging to the Cape Town and Durban Museums and the 
British Museum in London. With two exceptions, they are 
all from South or East Africa, and about half of them are 
treated as new, the remainder having been described by 
Boheman, J. Thomson, Abeille de Perrin, Gorham, and Pic, 
and placed by them under various generic names *.
