236 Mr. G. C. Champion on 
11. 1896, vii. 1903); Mpanzi Mioti (Mus. Durban) ; Seymour, 
Cape Colony (lus. Cape Town). 
Five females, precisely similar, and best treated as speci- 
fically distinct from EH. quadrisignatus, in the absence of 
males of either of them. HH. (Attulus) transvaalensis, Pic 
(1911), type also 9, not identified amongst the material 
before me, is said to have the subapical black mark in the 
form of a sinuate fascia, and it must therefore be different 
from EH. guadrinotatus. 
27. Ebeus zonarius, sp. n. 
?. Elongate, rather broad, shining, thickly clothed with 
very long, erect, black bristly hairs intermixed with fine 
pubescence ; testaceous, the basal half of the head, the 
metasternum, scutellum, and two very large patches on each 
elytron—one triangular (reaching the suture), the other in 
the form of a very broad, anteriorly-rounded, subapical 
fascia (not quite reaching the suture or outer margin)— 
black, the rest of the elytra yellowish-white ; the head and 
prothorax faintly punctulate, the elytra densely, very finely 
punctured. Head narrower than the prothorax; antennz 
rather slender, moderately long, subserrate. Prothorax 
broader than long, obliquely narrowed posteriorly, the lateral 
and basal margins rather broadly explanate and reflexed. 
Elytra widened posteriorly. 
Length 33 mm. 
Hab, Axsysstnta (Raffray, ex coll. Sharp). 
One female. This species is coloured like the Nyasa 
E. albopartitus, except that the large black basal patch on 
the elytra is triangular and extended inwards to the suture, 
and the subapical one is less elongate. The elytra, too, are 
more shining and the antennze not so stout. H. zonarius 
cannot be identified with any of the allied Abyssinian forms 
described by Abeille de Perrin in 1890, four of these having 
nigro-trimaculate elytra. 
28. Hbeus nyasanus, sp. ni. 
9. Elongate, slightly widened behind, shining, sparsely 
clothed with fine pubescence intermixed with longer bristly 
hairs ; testaceous, the head to the anterior margin (the 
labrum pale flavous), scutellum, and metasternum black ; 
the lateral and basal margins of the prothorax and six spots 
or patches on the elytra—one, common, elongate-oval, ex- 
tending down the suture below the base, one on each side in
