STENOSERICA DELAGOANA, N. spec. 
Very pale testaceous and slightly iridescent ; head of the normal 
shape, anterior margin of clypeus plainly sub-aculeate in the centre, 
antenn 9-jointed, club 3-jointed, ovate in both sexes, and not much 
longer in the male than in the female, slightly flavescent in the 
male, reddish in the female; prothorax not distinctly punctulate ; 
scutellum faintly punctulate; elytra elongate, somewhat convex, 
finely but not deeply punctato-striate with the intervals nearly 
plane and faintly punctulate, and having along the suture and 
each alternate interval a series of very remote but quite con- 
spicuous bristle-like hairs. 
Length 7-73 mm.; width 34-4 mm. 
Hab. Mozambique (Lourenco-Marquez). 
STENOSERICA DECEPTOR, Péring., 
Trans. 8. Afric. Philos. Soc., vol. vi., 1892, p. 39. 
This species differs from S. delagoana mostly in the colour, which 
is either reddish or chestnut-red ; the club of the antennz is longer 
in the male with the joints elongated, but not quite as long as the 
pedicel ; the sculpture on the clypeus, head, prothorax, and antenne 
is much deeper; the costules on the elytra are also much more 
pronounced, and the intervals much more deeply punctured. 
Length 64-7 mm.; width 34 mm. 
Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Middle Limpopo); Ovampoland 
(Omrramba). 
STENOSERICA ZAMBESICOLA, Nn. spec. 
Chestnut-brown, with the frontal part of the head and the pro- 
thorax fuscous, glabrous, elytra opaque but with a slight opaline 
sheen; club of antenne flavescent, as long as the pedicel in the male ; 
clypeus as long as the frontal part, slightly emarginate laterally, 
slightly bi-sinuate in front owing to the anterior margin being 
plainly acuminate in the centre, deeply and somewhat coarsely punc- 
tured, frontal suture fine, very plain, and with the edges slightly 
raised, frontal part sparsely punctate, the punctures round and 
moderately deep ; prothorax moderately closely punctate and with- 
out any lateral hairs, convex and with the posterior angles sharply 
defined ; scutellum punctulate; elytra one-third longer than broad, 
sinuate laterally in the anterior part, and plainly ampliate in the 
posterior, punctato-striate with the intervals somewhat raised in 
the anterior part; under side iridescent, almost glabrous except
