head. The form with a reddish humeral patch and the head 
black at the base approaches H. (Miwis) exquisitus, Ab., 
amenulus, Boh., and ¢ransvaalensis, Pic (1911); it was 
found at Malvern and in Zululand. The much smaller size, 
the very fine elytral puncturing, and the long apical ap- 
pendages in ¢ distinguish EL. consobrinus from FE. albo- 
guttatus, the last-mentioned character and the testaceous 
antenne separating it from EH. confluens.

?. Elongate-subtriangular, shining, clothed with sparse 
pubescence intermixed with jong erect hairs; testaceous, 
the head (a subtriangular patch in front excepted), elytra 
(except a common oblong-oval patch ou the suture below 
the base, an elongate mark at the sides in line with it, but 
extending forward to beneath the humeri, a large subtrian- 
cular spot on the disc near the apex, and a triangular patch 
at the apex itself, which are flavous or testaceous), meta- 
sternum, and abdomen in part, black ; the head and pro- 
thorax very sparsely, minutely, the elytra somewhat closely 
and strongly, punctate. Head small, bi-impressed in front ; 
antennz rather short, serrate. Prothorax transverse, 
rounded at the sides, the margins explanate and obliquely 
convergent posteriorly. Elytra elongate, broader at the

There is a ? of this species in the British Museum. The 
elytral markings resemble those of Hedybius formosus, 
Reiche, except that there is an additional flavous subapical 
spot on the dise of each elytron.
