Hab. Ovampoland. 
Fahreus’ original name, 7. enews, being preoccupied, must be 
changed into 7. fahrat. 
ABBLABEROIDES TARDUS, n. spec. 
Testaceous-red, with a bright sub-metallic not iridescent sheen; 
antenne flavescent; as spherical as A. emeritus; the clypeus has. 
sharp outer angles which are not, however, plainly reflexed, and the 
median part is not dentate, the constricted part is narrow, and the 
sides above it strongly sinuate, the frontal suture is replaced by a 
fine raised line, and in the only example of this species which I have 
seen there is in addition to the faint frontal suture a slightly im- 
pressed, transverse line equi-distant from the frontal suture and 
from the base; the prothorax is closely and the elytra sparingly 
and weakly punctulate, the dorsal striz, with the exception of the 
juxta-sutural one which is visible in the posterior part, are almost: 
obliterated. 
The raised line of the frontal part and the non-tri-dentate clypeus 
will help in distinguishing this species from A. emeritus, and the 
non-tri-dentate clypeus from 7’. falrei, which has also a raised 
frontal line, but which is not so spherical. 
Length 5 mm.; width 4 mm.

ABLABEROIDES PAUPER, Nn. spec. 
Brownish-red, very slightly iridescent, antennz flavescent ; body 
elongato-ovate ; clypeus very briefly denticulate in the centre of the 
anterior margin and with the angles moderately sharp, but not 
strongly reflexed, the constricted part is moderately narrow, and 
there is a plain frontal grooved suture with the edges slightly 
raised ; the prothorax is of the normal shape, faintly punctulate 
in the median part, but more distinctly on the sides, the scutellum 
is long and very sharp; the elongato-ovate elytra have seven plainly 
visible striz and the intervals are almost impunctate ; the pygidium 
is sparsely punctate. 
Length 53-6 mm.; width 3} mm.

ABLABEROIDES COGNATUS, Nn. spec. 
Very dark bronze, almost black, with the elytra somewhat dark 
brown, sub-opaque and only very faintly iridescent; antenne
