(^ . Extremely like /. corniculatus, Er., and very similarly 

 coloured — iiigro-cyaneous, the elytra with a suturally- 

 interrupted ante-median fascia and the apex orange-red, 

 the antennal joints 1-5 and clypeus testaceous ; head 

 (PI. XIII. fig. 2) opaque, densely, rugulosely punctate, 

 hroadly depressed and strongly, transversely, sinuato- 

 laniellate anteriorly, the ridge hollowed in the middle and 

 near the sides above (appearing quadridentate when viewed 

 from behind), and preceded by a deep transverse sulcus; 

 eyes convex, prominent ; antennae (PI. XIII. fig. 2 a) 

 long, joint 1 very elongate, stout, 2 short, narrow, con- 

 stricted at the base, 3 and 4 stouter than 2, subtriangular, 

 5 much broader, triangular, dentate at the outer apical 

 angle, 6 produced into a long, curved, pointed tooth at 

 the apex externally, 7-11 narrow, 11 elongate ; prothorax

 (smoother than in I, corniculatus) ; elytra very coarsely,

Hub. S. Africa, Seymour, Cape Colony (Mas. Cape

Two males. Separable at once from /. corniculatus, ^ , 

 by the very differently formed head and antenna?, the latter 

 with the basal half testaceous, the less rugose prothorax, 

 tiie more prominent eyes, and wholly opaque head. 



3. Illops duplocinctus, sp. n. 



? . Broad, robust, shining, clothed with long, semierect, 

 soft, ])allid hairs ; nigro-violaceous or nigro-cyaneous, the 

 clypeus and the antennal joints 1-4 or 5 testaceous, the 

 other joints and the legs black, the elytra orange-red, with a 

 basal and subapical fascia (which are narrowly counected 

 along the suture) violaceous. Head much narrower than 

 the prothorax, closely, rather coarsely punctate, deeply 

 excavate in the middle anteriorly ; antennas short, rather 

 stout, joint 2 very short, 4 and 5 somewhat twisted and 

 broader than the following joints. Prothorax transversely 

 cordate, rugosely punctured at the sides, sparsely so on the 

 disc. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, very 

 coarsely, closely punctate, smoother at the base and apex, 

 the punctures here and there transversely confluent.
