tempora. As its coloration has been already described by 

 Kirby, I will give here only a few principal morphological 

 characters which are entirely lacking in Kirby's description. 

 ? . Head subequal to the pronotum in length, but 

 distinctly thicker, feebly reclinate. Frontal ridge convex, 

 disappearing- just below the median ocellus, very feebly 

 narrowed at the apex ; facial keels not nearly reaching the 

 clypeus. Pronotum with the median keel developed 

 throughout, though on the prozona it is somewhat less sharp 

 than on the metazona. Elytra scarcely reaching the end 

 of the abdomen and much shorter than the hind femora ; 

 mediastinal area very distinctly dihited, with a well-developed 

 false vein ; scapular area well dilated, with an irregular false 

 vein; discoidal area rather broad, with an irregular but 

 rather thick false vein ; interulnar area much narrower than 

 the discoidal, with a false vein ; anal area with a well- 

 developed, thick false vein. 



As for the coloration, it has been described by Kirby 

 fairly correctly, though I should call the general coloration 

 ochiaceous rather than light brown, and the design on the 

 pronotum and hind femora is not blackish but brown ; there 

 is on the disc of pronotum a faint indication of a pale cross, 

 not mentioned by Kirby. The hind tibipe ai'e dark yellow ; 

 the plirase in Kirby's description — " hind femora with black- 

 tipped spines" — means, of course, not femora but tibiae. 



The type of this species (from Figtree, Barberton) is still 

 unique. 



Paureia, gen. nov. (Fig. 4.) 



Body distinctly compressed laterally. Antennae with the 

 joints 3-7 distinctly flattened, feebly dilated, and almost 

 smooth ; the rest of the antennse composed of cylindrical 

 joints, strongly and densely punctured; the antennte in ^ 

 slightly longer, in ? a little shorter than the head and pro- 

 notum together. Head strongly reclinate ; frontal ridge 

 M'ith the sides obtuse, perfectly parallel, slightly approximated 

 at the fastigium ; fastigium of the vertex forming a rounded 

 angle with the frontal ridge, nearly horizontal, pentagonal 

 with the apex rounded, in ^ longer than broad, in ? as long 

 as broad, with an arched transverse impression ; its margins 

 raised, obtuse, in (^ feebly, in ? more distinctly convergent 

 backwards, not prolonged into occiput ; a feeble median 

 carinula begins from behind the arched impression and runs 

 towards pronotum, but does not reach the latter; temporal 

 foveoloe well seen from above, distinctly though not deeply
