sloping in the anterior part, the punctures somewhat fine and 
separated by an interval equal to their own diameter; scutellum 
punctate ; elytra coriaceous, the punctures deep, somewhat broad, 
the two costules on either side distinct; pygidium sloping, very 
slightly pubescent like the abdominal segments; pectus clothed 
with a very dense light fulvous pubescence. The upright teeth 
of the maxilla are somewhat sharper in this species than in the 
others.

Hab. Cape Colony (Riversdale). 
MACROPHYLLA PUBENS, 0. spec. 
Fuscous, elytra and antenne chestnut-brown; head and prothorax 
clothed with a dense, short, appressed, light fulvous pubescence, 
elytra also clothed with a very short, dense pubescence; clypeus 
concave, straight in the anterior part and also laterally, and with the 
outer angles only very slightly rounded, suture distinct, both the 
head and clypeus are covered with fine, very closely set punctures ; 
prothorax plainly sinuate laterally in the posterior part, and with 
the basal angle sharp, covered like the head with very fine and 
closely set punctures; scutellum very finely punctured and densely 
pubescent; elytra sub-parallel, very finely punctured and having on 
each side three or four somewhat plain strize in addition to the juxta- 
sutural one; the abdomen is missing in the two examples which I 
have examined; pectus clothed with a long and very dense flavescent 
pubescence; antennal club 5-jointed, joint preceding the club lami- 
nate and moderately long. 
Female unknown. 
This species closely resembles M. ciliata, and is likewise pube- 
scent on the prothorax and elytra, but it is larger and can easily 
be distinguished by the 5-jointed, instead of 3-jointed antennal 
club. 
Length 27 mm.; width 14 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (exact locality unknown).
