Length 8} mm. Width 34 mm. 
Hab. Malvern, Natal. A single example taken by me under 
bark in July, 1898. 
Closely allied to Alepsipherus crenato-striatus, Pér., from which it 
differs in its shorter, more convex form, more rounded shoulders, its 
strongly plicated and grooved prothorax and the much deeper striation 
of the elytra. The coloration is also quite different. 
PHLG@OZETUS DORSALIS, Pér. var. ? 
Two examples taken at light at Isipingo in March, 1898. These 
were submitted to Dr. Peringuay and pronounced by him as “hardly 
distinguished from P. dorsalis.” 
I have not seen P. dorsalis, which in the Catalogue of the Coleoptera 
of S. Africa (1896)* is recorded only from Cape Town, but judging by 
the description and by the figure of the elytron (Plate V., no. 15) my 
species differs in the dorsal black patch being broadly truncate in the 
anterior part instead of being produced triangularly from the suture. 
In this respect it agrees exactly with the description of P. ambulans, 
Pér. from Salisbury, Rhodesia. 
LEBIA UMTALIA, Pér. 
A single example taken by me in reeds, river bank, ’Mhlatuzan, 
Natal, February, 1899. Regarding this Dr. Péringuey says, “Slightly 
more massive but same species.” 
Judging by the description of LZ. wmtalina (sic) in “Annals of S. 
African Museum,” vol. ii, p. 179, it differs materially from my species 
as follows : 
Lebia umtalia. Lebia sp. mihi. 
Length 63 mm. 8 mm. 
Width 3 mm. 34 mm. 
Clypeus Black. Red. 
Antenne Rufescent, with 4-6 joints Rufescent (all the joints). 
deeply infuscate. 
Supra apical band—reaches margin does not reach margins and 
and is connected by a nar- is connected by a broad band 
row black band along the (covering Ist and 2nd inter- 
suture with the basal patch. vals) with the basal patch.
