Two ¢ fd andone ? of the Rhodesian form, two 2? 2 from 
Beira. Exactly like /. dunbrodensis, Pic, but with the 
apices of the elytra differently shaped in the 3; the basal 
patch on each elytron triangularly extending backwards and 
sometimes coalescent with the subapical one along the 
middle of the disc. There is no tendency in these examples 
to approach J. martini or its var. natalensis, Pic. 
7. Ebeus albogutiatus, sp. n. 
2. Moderately elongate, robust, rather convex, widened 
posteriorly, shining, clothed with fine scattered pubescence 
intermixed with long, semierect, black, bristly hairs ; rufo- 
testaceous, the outer joints of the antennz more or less 
infuscate, the head (a posteriorly-biangulate flavous space 
in front excepted), scutellum, and metasternum black; the 
lateral and basal margins of the prothorax and the elytra 
(the reddish apex excepted) white or yellowish-white, 
each elytron with a very large triangular, apically-produced 
basal patch (reaching the suture) and a broad, angulate, 
subapical fascia, these markings narrowly coalescent down 
the middle of the disc, black ; the wings fusco-variegate ; 
the head and prothorax almost smooth, the elytra closely, 
finely (at the base more strongly) punctured. Head nar- 
rower than the prothorax ; antenne short, not very slender, 
subserrate. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides. 
Elytra moderately long. Legs rather stout. 
6. Antenne longer; anterior tarsal joint 2 rather stout, 
long, nigro-pectinate along the entire outer edge; elytra less 
dilated posteriorly, each deeply excavate before the tip, the 
apical margin obliquely thickened, produced, bidentate, the 
suture bearmg a stout blackish spiniform process within 
the cavity. 
Length 33-4 mm. (¢ ?.) 
Hab. 8. Arnica (Mus. Cape Town) ; Namwala [iii. 1913] 
and Namwazi [vi. 1914], N.W. Rhodesia (H. C. Dollman). 
Thirteen specimens, including four males. Near #.(Mizis) 
rufithoraz, Pic, the black elytral markings narrowly coales- 
cent down the middle of the dise (leaving sharply-defined 
whitish patches), the antenne shorter ; the elytral apices of 
the ¢ obliquely polished, bidentate, deeply excavate, nigro- 
spinose within,
