 punctures. 



These differences taken apart are not of much importance, 

 but togctlicr, I think, justify the acceptance of "" dijj'trens" 

 as a species distinct from " integer." Description from two 

 examples, male and female. 



Hub. Field's Hill, Natal; Durban. 



I have two species allied to '' dijferens," mihi, which, 

 judging by individual examples in ray possession, show 

 the same broad depressed facies as " dl[J'erens,'' but are 

 undoubtedly distinct from it and from one another. This 

 section of tlie genus has, probably, many closely allied forms 

 yet to be described, vvhich will require careful examination 

 and comparison of the sexes to justify their publication as 

 new species. 



The tirst of those referred to above is a female taken at 

 light in Durban. It is 10 mm. long by barely 4 mm. wide. 

 Compared with the female of differens, the prothorax is a 

 little less arcuate, more deeply, less densely punctulate, and 

 the elytra are more parallel, the strife and puncturation are 

 coarser, and there is a distinct greenish-reueous tinge, instead 

 of being subopaque black. There are very distinct seriate 

 punctures on the third and fifth and two punctures below 

 the shoulders of the seventh. The same differences that 

 oblige me to separate "differens" and '^integer'' apply in 

 tliis s[)ecies. 



A second species, also a female, captured 1)y the Rev. J. A. 

 O'Neil at Salisbury, S. Rhodesia, has the following dimen- 

 sions: y^ mm. long by 3^ mm, wide. The prothorax is less 

 transverse, the sides similarly rouiuled but a little more con- 

 tracted to base. Head and prothorax have a faint greenish- 

 jeneous sheen ; the elytra is elliptical in shape and obscurely 

 iridescent ; the striation and puneturation are similar and the 

 intervals equally plane, but the seriate punctures on the third 

 and fifth intervals are more spaced and much more distinct. 

 The colour of the antenuic, pali)i, and legs is paler testaceous 

 yellow, especially the last.
