234. Mr. G. C. Champion on 
of the same sex from Bedford and Malvern; two ? 2 from 
Rhodesia are doubtless referable to the variety named by 
Pic. ‘This imsect has the general coloration of KH. ridens, 
Gorb., except that the head is partly or wholly black ; the 
basal black patch on each elytron is large and reaches 
the suture, and the subapical one arcuate, showing a 
tendency to form an incomplete annulus in one of the two 
females from George. 
23. Ebeus ephippiatus, sp. n. 
?. Elongate, widened posteriorly, the elytra opaque, the 
rest of the surface shining, finely pubescent, with longer 
semierect hairs intermixed ; black, the antennal joints 1-6, 
prothorax (a transverse dark space in front and the whitish 
lateral margins excepted), tarsi, and tibiee (the posterior pair 
at the apex only), and the anterior and intermediate femora 
in part, testaceous; the elytra each with a complete, oblique, 
suturally-widened, ante-median fascia, and a common oval 
spot before the apex (the latter connected with a testaceous 
spot at the sutural angle),whitish ; the head and prothorax 
almost smooth, the elytra alutaceous and excessively minutely 
punctate. Head bi-impressed in front; antenne short, 
slender, subserrate. Prothorax transverse, small, convex, 
rounded at the sides, much narrowed behind, the lateral 
margins explanate posteriorly. Hlytra rather long, becoming 
convex towards the apex. Legs slender; posterior tibiz 
curved. 
Length 23 mm. 
Hab. S. Arrica, Dunbrody (Mus. Cape Town). 
One ?, captured in December 1912 on Mimosa. A 
sharply maculate form with the elytra marked very much as 
in the Natal insect named by Pic HL. (Anthonomus) martina, 
the latter having an opaque, broader, and more narrowly 
margined prothorax. The variable EH. dunbrodensis (ante 
No. 5), specimens of which are before me, is also somewhat 
similar. Till the ¢ is found, EH. ephippiatus cannot be 
located with certainty.
