Phlceocopus undulatus, sp. n. 



Nigro-piceus, rol)Ustu8,valde ptibescens,fortiter punctatus; elytrorum 

 maculis duabus basalibus, una humerali, una liueari scutellari san- 

 guineis ; fascia tenui mediana valde dentata, maculaque subapicali 

 suturam baud attingente testaceis. 



Long. 14-15 millim. 



Mas, antennarum articulo ultimo elongato, falciformi ; abdominis 

 segmento quinto emargitiato. 



Femina, antennarum articulo ultimo dimidio breviori. 



Hub. Natal ; Maslionaland, Umfuli River, Gadziina 

 [Marshall); Zambesi [coll. Oorham). 



Head clothed with golden-brown pubescence, thickly, 

 coarsely, and rugosely punctured ; antennae of the pitchy- 

 black colour of the whole body, the terminal joint long and 

 falcate, much longer in the male, equalling the preceding eight 

 joints. The thorax is longer than wide, shining, distinctly 

 but sparsely punctate, with a deep but vague central channel ; 

 anterior constriction ill-defined. Elytra at the base scarcely 

 wider than the thorax, wider at the apex ; the punctuation is 

 cellular and confluent, coarse for half their length, not so 

 coarse and worse defined beyond the fascia ; the fascia is 

 rendered irregular by coarse punctuation, it has a double 

 undulation, sometimes it reaches the margin and at others it 

 does not ; there are two deep blood-red not conspicuous 

 marks at the base and a yellowish spot at the apex. The 

 scutellum is clothed with golden-yellow pubescence. The 

 femora are coarsely punctured ; the tibiae are also punctured 

 and have carinse on their sides. The body beneath is shining, 

 sparsely and rather obsoletely punctured ; the fifth segment 

 in the male is broadly and angularly emarginate, exposing 

 the membranous base of the sixth, and it has deep strong 

 punctures round the margin, the sixth ventral plate being 

 very smooth and shining. 



This insect has been known to me for many years from 

 specimens from Natal. It is apparently allied to P. jlavo- 

 notatus, Bohem., but seems to differ in the colour of the 

 antenna^, which aie entirely dark, in the apical spot not 

 being double, by the larger size, &c. 



Mr. Marshall has sent three specimens, two being from 

 Gadzima, one of which is a male. 



Trichodes tugelanus, sp. n. 



Niger, subcaeruleus, elongatus, subparallelus, pubescens ; capite 

 protboraceque creberrime confluenter punctatis ; elytripi auran- 

 tiacis, fasciis duabus latis apiceque nigris ; creberrime rugose
