232 Mr. G. C. Champion on 
gate, extending over 3 above, and with a conspicuous black 
comb extending along the entire outer edge and tip ; inter- 
mediate tibiz twisted, arcuately dilated and closely ciliate 
near the base within ; elytra subparallel, the apices triangu- 
larly produced, excavate, the suture of each elytron bearing 
a short, compressed, sub-bidentate, ciliate appendage before 
the rather acute angle. 
Length 444 mm. (6 2.) 
Hab. 8. Arrica, Hebron, near Kimberley? (types of Adeille 
de Perrin) ; Lichtenburg, Transvaal (Dr. Brauns); Salisbury 
and Bulawayo (Dr. Marshall), and Namwala, Rhodesia 
(H. C. Dollman). 
Redescribed from seven specimens, including four ¢ @, 
captured at various dates between November and March. 
The type has been lent me by Dr. Péringuey. Larger and 
more elongate than HF. rufithorax, var. rhodesianus, Pic, and 
very similarly coloured, except that the subapical black 
patch is horseshoe-shaped as in /. ornatipennis, Gorh., 2 ; 
the ¢ with twisted, basally dilated, intermediate tibiz, and 
the apices of the elytra appendiculate and triangularly 
produced. 
20. Ebeus inermipennis. 
? Attalus (Mixis) inermipennis, Pic, Mélanges exot.-entom. xxv. p. 3 
(d) 917)" 
Extremely like HE. simoni, Ab., the head broadly testa- 
ceous or whitish in front in both sexes; the black basal 
patch on the elytra oblong, concave within, reaching the 
scutellum in front, the subapical patch arcuate. 
3g. Anterior tarsal joint 2 elongate, produced over 3 above, 
with a black comb extending along the entire outer edge ; 
intermediate tibisxe simple ; elytra very deeply, transversely 
grooved at the apex, the apices themselves broadly subtrun- 
cate, tumid, and somewhat explanate, the groove bordered in 
front near the suture by a short transverse plica. 
Length 4-45 mm. (6 2.) 
Hab. S. Avrica, Port Natal! (type of Pic), Headlands, 
Mashonaland (Dr. Marshall: xi. 1897). 
A pair from Mashonaland seem to be referable to this 
species. H. (Mlixis) inermipennis, in Pic’s ‘ description 
abrégée,” is compared with EL. ridens, Gorh., and the elytral 
apices of the ¢ are said to be “ tumefactis, non spinosis.”
