6. Antennz long, flabellate ; elytra with the apex rufo- 
testaceous, excavate, and bilamellate ; anterior tarsal joint 2 
nigro-pectinate at the tip. 
9. Antenne shorter, serrate; elytra wholly metallic.

Specimens of the two sexes of this insect have been sent 
me by Dr. Péringuey and Mr. C. Barker. Boheman’s type 
(3) is described as having black elytra, with the apex rufo- 
testaceous, that of Pic (3) being metallic, except at the tip, 
the diagnoses agreeing in other respects. The black patch 
on the dise of the prothorax varies in development, and in 
the 2 it is sometimes reduced to a large spot in front. The 
numerous ¢ examples before me agree with Pic’s description 
of that sex; the 2 might easily be mistaken for an Aftalus. 
33. Ebeus dichrous, sp. n. 
?. Rather short, broad, much widened posteriorly, shin- 
ing, finely sericeo-pubescent ; head (the eyes excepted), the 
antennal joints 1-5 in part (1 nigro-lineate above, and 6-11 
more or less infuscate), prothorax, and legs (the slightly 
infuscate tarsi excepted) testaceous, the elytra cyaneous, the 
scutellum, metasternum, and abdomen piceous or black ; 
the head and prothorax almost smooth, the elytra very 
finely, rather closely punctate. Head broad; antennz long, 
serrate from joint 5 onward. Prothorax strongly transverse, 
much wider than the head, rounded at the sides, the margins 
somewhat expanded. Elytra subarcuately dilated from a 
little below the base, depressed along the suture anteriorly. 
Length 3 mm. 
Hab. Nata, Malvern (Mus. Durban). 
Two ? ?, labelled as having been captured on July 25th, 
1901. Larger and broader than EH. ramicornis ( ? ), the head, 
prothorax, and legs testaceous. Till the ¢ is found, Z. 
dichrous can be placed near that species. LZ. conigerus is a
