the African Species of Hbeeus. 233 
21. Hbeus sinuatipes, sp. n. 
Elongate, rather broad, widened posteriorly, shining, the 
elytra subopaque, sparsely, finely pubescent with scattered, 
erect, black, bristly hairs intermixed; rufo-testaceous, the 
head (the auterior margin excepted) and metasternum black, 
the margins of the prothorax whitish, the elytra flavous, 
each with two large black patches—the basal one trans- 
versely subquadrate, the subapical one broad, arcuate, 
neither reaching the suture, but both extending to the outer 
margin; the head and prothorax sparsely, minutely, the 
elytra densely, finely punctate. Head, antennz, prothorax, 
etc., as in £. simoni, Ab. 
d. Anterior tarsal joint 2 extending over 3 above, nigro- 
pectinate gt tip; intermediate tibize sinuate within, arcuately 
dilated near the base; elytra each with a tumid, oblique, 
sinuate, concave area at the apex, the swollen portion pre- 
ceded by a short transverse groove extending across the 
suture, the apices narrowly truncate. 
Length 33-33 mm. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. S. Arrica, Melsetter, Mashonaland [type], and 
Upper Tongaat, Barwon, Natal (/r. Marshall: x., xii. 1901). 
One pair. Very like H. ridens, Gorl., and LE. inermipennis, 
Pic; the elytral apices of the ¢ are tumid and without 
appendages as in the latter, and the intermediate tibiz in 
the same sex are sinuate within, but less strongly so than 
in #, simoni, Ab. 
22. LMbeus rufithorax. 
Attalus (Mixis) rufithorax, Pic, L’Kchange, xx. p. 83 (gd 2) (1904)’. 
3. Head black (as in 3); antenne moderately long, 
feebly serrate ; anterior tarsal joint 2 extended over 3 above, 
nigro-pectinate at tip; intermediate tibiz simple; elytra 
truncate and transversely excavate at the apex, the depres- 
sion limited exteriorly by a stout conical tubercle. 
Var.? Head broadly testaceous in front (@ ). 
Attalus (Mixis) rufithorax, var. rhodesiana, Pic, op. cit. xxiii. p. 131
