the African Species of Ebzeus. 
Length 33 mm. 
Hab. S. Arrica, Leslies, near Umtali, Manica (Dr. Mar- 
shall : 25. x. 1897). 
One male. Of the same general coloration as E. (Mala- 
chius) consobrinus, Boh., the head more broadly testaceous 
in front; the elytra with a small additional spot before the 
tip, and the large patch preceding it subtriangular and not 
extending so far backward, the puncturing more distinct; 
the g-appendages stout, and abruptly hooked or angulate 
as seen in precfile.

6. Anterior tarsal joint 2 extending over 3 above, nigro- 
pectinate at the tip ; intermediate tibiz simple; posterior 
tibiz sinuate, slightly infuscate in the middle, and nigro- 
maculate at the tip; elytra with the subapical nigro- 
violaceous fascia extending for some distance down the 
suture, the apices transversely excavate and each with a 
long, compressed, concave appendage arising from near the 
suture, the appendages abruptly constricted beyond the 
middle, and with the apical portion curved downwards, 
hook-like, and pointed at the tip. 
@. Antenne shorter, feebly serrate ; elytral fasciz trans- 
verse. 
Hab. W. Arrica, Gaboon’ (type of Thomson), Sierra

de Perrin, 3). 
The British Museum: possesses a pair of this species, 
acquired in 1858. Thomson’s enlarged figure of the elytral 
appendages is misleading (they are not 3-segmented as 
shown by him), and he does not mention or show the 
sinuate, nigro-maculate posterior tibiz of the male, a 
character noted by Abeille de Perrin. The antenne are 
testaceous and sharply serrate. The base of the head is 
black. EH. (Urodactylus) uncipennis, Pic (1903), from San 
Thomé, is an allied insect with differently-marked elytra.
