finer one along the outer margin of the elytra; clypeus parabolic, 
clypeal suture hardly visible, covered, like the head, with closely set, 
deep, somewhat rounded punctures; prothorax gradually narrowed 
laterally from the blunt angular basal part to the apex, and not: 
sinuate in the posterior part, distinctly sloping in the anterior, 
having in the front part of the disk a somewhat broad median 
elongated impression and covered with round, fairly deep punctures 
not very closely set; scutellum hardly punctate; elytra a little 
narrower at the base than the base of the prothorax, somewhat 
sinuate laterally in front of the median part, having two fairly 
distinct costules, and covered with deep, round punctures separated 
by an interval narrower than their diameter; antennal club 5-jointed, 
the joint preceding the club very briefly laminate; pygidium ver- 
tical, and, like the abdominal segments, very slightly pubescent ; 
pectus with a very dense fulvous pubescence. 
Female unknown. 
Length 14 mm.; width 8 mm. 
Hab. Natal (Maritzburg). 
MACROPHYLLA CAPICOLA, N. spec. 
Similar in build and colour to M. natalensis, also glabrous on the 
upper side, but differing in the shape of the clypeus which is nearly 
straight in front but has the outer angles broadly rounded, the 
clypeal suture is weakly indicated; the basal angles of the pro- 
thorax are sharper; the punctures on the head are much finer, those 
on the prothorax and elytra are much shallower, and the latter are 
scarcely coriaceous; pygidium vertical, briefly pubescent; pectus 
with a very dense and long flavescent pubescence. 
Female unknown. 
Length 23 mm.; width 10 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Transkei, Fort Beaufort). 
MACROPHYLLA NIGRICOLLIS, n. spec. 
Black, with the elytra reddish-brown or chestnut-red, glabrous on 
the upper side, except along the base of the prothorax and the outer 
margins of the elytra which are sub-parallel; clypeus parabolic, 
suture obliterated or hardly visible, deeply and very closely punc- 
tured, the punctures slightly more closely set than on the vertex; 
antennal club 5-jointed, the joint preceding the club laminate but 
varying in length, and occasionally very small; prothorax slightly 
sinuate laterally in the posterior part, with the basal angles rounded, 
impressed longitudinally on the front part of the disk, moderately
