Ebgana chapxjisi, sp. n. 



Fulvous, the breast and tlie legs black ; thorax very closely and 

 distinctly punctured; elytra dark bluish, closely and finely 

 punctured. 



Length 5 millim. 



Head impunctate, fulvous, the frontal tubercles very strongly 

 raised ; antennae short and robust, flavous, the joints nearly monili- 

 form, the third and fourth joints more elongate : thorax one-half 

 broader than long, the sides rounded, the angles acute, the surface 

 very closely and distinctly punctured, fulvous ; scutellum fulvous ; 

 elytra dark bhie, closely aud strongly punctured, their epipleurae 

 broad and continued to the apex ; below piceous or black, the 

 abdomen flavous ; all the tibiae mucronate, the tarsi short, the 

 anterior coxal cavities closed. 



Hah. Moliro, Congo (Duvivier). Belgian Mus. collect, and mj'' 

 own. 



This species agrees in every respect with the type of the genus, 

 E. protect Chap, from Abyssinia, aud it is possible that it only 

 represents another variety of this variable species ; but as I have 

 two specimens before me perfectly identical, and as the elytra in 

 E. proted show no trace of blue, I must look upon the present 

 insect as distinct. 



Megalogkatha immaculata, sp. n. 



Elongate, parallel, testaceous ; head and thorax impunctate ; 

 elytra obscure fulvous, extremely finely and sparingly punctured. 



Length 7 millim. 



Head broad, impunctate ; frontal tubercles strongly raised, 

 transverse ; clj^peus equally strongly raised, in shape of a triangular 

 ridge; palpi robust; antenna; rather stout, flavous (the last three 

 joints Avanting), basal joint elongate, slightly curved, the third and 

 tlie following joints nearly equal in length ; thorax much broader 

 than long, the sides slightly constricted at the base, nearly straight, 

 the anterior angles thickened, the surface impunctate, obsoletely 

 transversely sulcate ; scutellum triangular ; elytra much wider at 

 the base than the thorax and of darker ful\ous colour, the shoulders 

 rather prominent and bounded within by a longitudinal depression, 

 the disc extremely finely and sparingly ])unctured ; underside and 

 legs testaceous, finely pubescent, the first tarsal joint as long as 

 the following joints together, claws appendiculate. 



Hah. Estcourt, Natal {G. Marshall). 



Allied in coloration to M. ventricosa Baly, but the thorax im- 

 punctate and differently sculptured, the general shape more 

 parallel, and the colour of the antennae and legs different. The two 

 specimens obtained are probably females ; the sulcation of the 

 thorax resembles more serai-seimrate foveae than a continued 

 groove, but is more distinct in one of the specimens than in the 

 other.
