220 Mil. M. JACOBT ON THE [Mar. 16, 



near the anterior margin at the middle, impunctate, bright metaUic 

 green ; scutellum black ; elytra subcyhndrical, pab fulvous, opaque, 

 punctured in irregular remote rows, the suture aud a longitudinal 

 stripe at the sides, both abbreviated at the apex, dark greenish ; 

 legs flavous, i-ather long and robust, the anterior tarsi short, equal. 

 Female larger, the legs shorter. 



Hah. Estcourt, Natal ( G. Marshall). 



This species resembles several others of the genus in the elytral 

 markings, all of them forming a little group of closely allied forms, 

 but the present insect diffei-s from all in the metallic green head 

 and thorax ; the elytral lateral band extends to the margins at its 

 posterior portion. 



MioPEisTis PTJSiLLA, sp. nov. (Plate XXII. fig. 7.) 



Below black, pubescent, above fulvous ; head black, pubescent, 

 mandibles and lower joints of the anteunje flavous ; thorax 

 impunctate, fulvous ; elytra finely and sparingly punctured, flavous ; 

 tarsi black. 



Length 2|-3 millim. 



Head rather strongly and closely punctured, sparingly pubes- 

 cent, black ; the epistome, labrum,and mandibles flavous, the apex 

 of the latter black, the left one more developed than the other, 

 strongly pointed and rather curved ; antennae rather long, extending 

 to the base of the thorax, the lower four joints flavous, the rest 

 black, the third and fourth joints equal, the remainder strongly 

 transverse ; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides very strongly 

 rounded, the median lobe scarcely produced, nearly straight; 

 the surface impunctate, shiuiug, pale fulvous ; scutellum black, its 

 apex rather strongly raised and pointed ; elytra narrower than the 

 thorax, rather opaque, finely punctured in remote and irregular 

 rows ; the anterior legs very elongate, their femora strongly 

 developed, the tibi* strongly curved, the tarsi black, the first joint 

 as long as the two following joints together. 



Hah. Malvern, Natal {G. Marshall). 



One of the smallest species of the genus, which may be also 

 known by the black head and the absence of any markings on the 

 thorax and elytra ; the female has, as usual, a much narrower 

 thorax and totally different and short legs, the anterior legs not 

 exceeding the others in length ; the elytra are also more shining 

 and more strongly and closely punctured, and the general size is 

 much smaller. 



Anisognatha QUADBiPiiAGiATA, sp. nov. (Plate XXII. fig. 6.) 



Bluish black below, finely pubescent, the anterior portion of the 

 iiead, the thorax, and the tibiae flavous ; thorax impunctate ; elytra 

 finely and closely punctured, fulvous, an oblique spot at the base 

 and a transverse spot below the middle blue. 



Mas. The mandibles broad at the base, the left one much larger, 

 strongly curved and produced into a long point inward. 



Length 5 millim.
