232 ME. M. JACOBT ON THE [Mar. 15, 



as the late M. Lefevre, to whom I submitted the specimen, did not 

 know it ; the pubescent white bands of the thorax and of the 

 elytra can only just be distinguished ia my specimen, which is 

 probably somewhat rubbed. 



Pausiris (Colaspidea) aeachjS'oides Duviv. 



This species, of which I possess a typical specimen, is not a 

 Colaspidea on account of the distinctly concave thoracic episternum, 

 but must be placed in Pausiris Chap. 



Teichostola lefeykei, sp. nov. 



Greenish aeneous, clothed with white pubescence, the tibiae 

 fulvous, antennae fuscous, thorax and elytra very closely and 

 irregularly punctured. 



Length 3 millim. 



Head very finely punctured, clothed with long whitish hairs, 

 terminal joints of the palpi black ; antennae extending to about the 

 middle of the elytra, rather robust, fulvous, each joint stained 

 with fuscous at its apex, the second joint thickened, but very little 

 shorter than the following four joints, the others thickened ; 

 thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides straight and 

 obliquely narrowed towards the apex, the posterior margin nearly 

 straight, the surface finely and closely punctured, clothed with 

 whitish hairs ; scutellum subpentagonal, densely pubescent ; elytra 

 with a very shallow depressioii below the base, scarcely more 

 strongly punctured than the thorax, the punctures closely and 

 irregularly placed, the interstices pubescent like the other parts ; 

 femora more or less aeneous, tibiae and tarsi obscure fulvous, 

 pubescent. 



Hah. Pine Town, S. Africa. 



This species is one of the few in which the elytra are irregularly 

 punctured, and is evidently closely allied to T. fuscitarsis Chap. ; 

 but the latter species is described as having the pubescence golden 

 yellow, which is not the case here, nor are the legs ferruginous. 



COLASPOSOMA SEMIHIESUTUil, Sp. nOV. 



Metallic green, the basal three joints of the antennae and the 

 legs fulvous, head and thorax strongly and closely punctured; 

 elytra more closely punctured than the thorax, the interstices 

 transversely rugose throughout and sparingly clothed \\ith very 

 short grey pubescence. 



Length 6 millim. 



Head very strongly but not very closely punctured, metallic 

 green ; the clypeus not separated from the face, bounded at the 

 sides by a strongly raised ridge ; labrum fulvous as well as the 

 basal joints of the palpi, base of the mandibles metallic green ; an- 

 tennas extending to the middle of the elytra, fuscous, the lower three 

 joints fulvous ; thorax rather more than twice as broad as long, the 

 sides evenly rounded, the angles acute, the surface closely and very 

 strongly punctured, the punctures round and deep, of equal size,
