JEthriosia glohuh'corni^, Iloitt., and Cri/ptorrhopahim ajine, 

 Keitt., l>if{t\vnm, Reitt., ferminale, Sliarp, brevicorne, Sliarp, 

 austrnlicum, Blackb., quorneiise, Blackb., and tooodvillense, 

 Blackb. A comparison of Blackburn's types and a series ot" 

 other specimens has led me to the conclusion that Cnjptor- 

 7-/iopaIum eucah/pti, Blackb., is only a ratiier pale specimen 

 ot" the last species, Orphinus looodvillensis. 

 A tew new species are adiiod here : — 



Orphinus celhiops, sp. n. 



Niger, antennis pedibuscpie flavis, ubique parce punctatus et fiallide 

 pube3ceii3, punclis minutis ; ovatus, paruru coiiTexus, oculis 

 inagiiis, grouse grauulatis, antennarum articulo ultimo (maris) 

 magiio, discoiJali ; proiioto lato, brevi, lateralifcer bene margiiiato, 

 ])Ostico valde et late lobato ; elytrorum apicibus minute rotun- 

 datis.

Hub. Angola : Forest Country, 1000-2000 ft. alt. 

 {Dr. Welwitsch). Mauritius {J. E. M. Brown). 



Tiiere are two specimens in our collection from Angola and 

 a good series from Mauritius. Unless in one case they have 

 been accidentally introduced, the species must be supposed to 

 have a very wide distribution. 



It is nnifornjly black, wiih pale legs and anfeunae and a 

 thin and evenly distributed clothing of greyish hairs above 

 and beneath. The upper surface is rather shining, the 

 punctures being minute and scattered. The eyes are large, 

 prominent, and coarsely facetted, and separated by a dis- 

 tance less than twice their diameter. The pronotum is 

 short, little narrowed in front, and sharply margined at 

 the sides, with a strong, broadly rounded, posterior lobe. 

 Tlie last joint of the antenna of the male is flat, circular, 

 and very large. 



Orphinus japom'cus, sp. n. 



Niger, sat nitidus, parce griseo-setosus, macula nifa utrinque obliqua 

 post humeros sita, antennis pedibusque lajte rutis ; ovatus, modice 

 convexus, capite pronotoque Jajvibus, parum setosis, hujus mar- 

 ginibus lateralibus prominentibus pauio explanatis, lobo postico 

 late rotundato, utrinque oblique impresso ; el3-tris crebre punc- 

 tatis, breviter aequaliter setosis. 



Long. 2-5 mm.
