Five iemalcs, precisely similar, and best treated as speci- 

 fically distinct from E. quudrisuinatus, in the absence of 

 males of either of them. E. {Attains) trausvualensls, Pic 

 (1911), type also $ , not identified amongst the material 

 before me, is said to have the subapical black niark in the 

 form of a sinuate fascia, and it must therefore be dill'ereut 

 irom E. quadrinotatus. 



27. Ebaus zonarius, sp. n. 



? . Elongate, rather broad, shining, thickly clothed with 

 very long, erect, black bristly hairs intermixed with fine 

 pubescence ; testaceous, the basal half of the head, the 

 metasternum, scutelluni, and two very large patches on each 

 elytron — one triangular (reaching the suture), the other in 

 the form of a very broad, anteriorly-rounded, subapical 

 fascia (not quite reaching the suture or outer margin) — 

 black, the rest of the elytra yellowish-white ; the head and 

 prothorax faintly punctulate, the elytra densely, very finely 

 punctured. Head narrower than the prothorax; antennje 

 rather slender, moderately long, subserrate. Prothorax 

 broader than long, obliquely narrowed posteriorly, the lateral 

 and basal margins rather broadly explanate and refiexed. 

 Elytra Midined posteriorly.

One female. This species is coloured like the Nyasa 

 E. albopartitus, except that the large black basal patch on 

 the elvtra is triangular and extended inwards to the suture, 

 and the subapical one is less elongate. The elytra, too, are 

 more shining and the anteunai not so stout. E. zonarius 

 caunot be identified with any of the allied Abyssinian forms 

 described by Abeille de Perrin in 1890, four of these having 

 iiigro-trimaculate elytra. 



28. Eba^us nyasanus, sp. u. 



9 . Elongate, slightly widened behind, shining, sjiai-sely 

 clothed with tine pubescence intermixed with longer bristly 

 hairs ; testaceous, the head to the anterior margin (the 

 labrnm pale flavous), scutelluni, and metasternimi blaek ; 

 the lateral and basal margins of the prothorax and six spots 

 or patches on the elUra — one, common, elongate-oval, ex- 

 tending down the suture below the base, one on each side in
