242 MK. M. JACOBY OTS THE [Feb. 2, 



small tubei'cle at the anterior angles ; the surface flavous, strongly 

 punctured at the middle, with two f ovese placed anteriorly near the 

 middle, and another more transverse one at each side, the basal 

 sulcus deep, the anterior margin sometimes with a small black spot 

 at the middle ; scutellum black, its apex truncate ; elytra not 

 depressed below the base or scarcely so, with regular rows of 

 moderately strong punctures, which get much finer towards the 

 apex, where they arc slightly elongate in shape, the ninth row 

 entire, the margins narrowly, the suture more broadly bluish black ; 

 underside black ; the abdomen more or less fulvous ; legs flavous, 

 the tarsi black. 



Bab. Natal, Estcourt, 4000 ft. ( &. Marshall). 



Allied to L. aperta, Lac, in coloration, but quite distinct on 

 account of the lateral and central thoracic fovese ; in the variety, 

 of which several specimens are before me, there is no trace of any 

 elytral blue bands, but in other respects these specimens agree in 

 everything. Mr. Marshall found this species under bark of trees. 



Lema consobrina, n. sp. 



Black, thorax impunctate, bifoveolate; elytra metallic blue, 

 strongly punctate-striate, depressed below the base ; posterior 

 femora at the lower portion fulvous. 



Length 2 lines. 



Head impunctate, black, the space between the eyes with 

 two strongly raised elongate tubercles ; eyes deeply emarginate : 

 antennae extending to the middle of the elytra, black, pubescent, the 

 third and fourth joint elongate, the fifth the longest, terminal 

 joints longer than broad ; thorax one half broader than long, the 

 sides obliquely diverging outwards from the sulcation, the anterior 

 angles rather acute, the disc impunctate, black, with a deep trans- 

 verse subbasal sulcus and two small fovese anteriorly at the sides ; 

 scutellum truncate at its apex ; elytra distinctly depressed below 

 the base, metallic blue ; the punctures regular and rather deep, 

 extending to the base and apex, the ninth row entire, the 

 interstices flat and impunctate, except near the extreme apex ; 

 underside and legs black, the posterior femora, their apex excepted, 

 fulvous. 



ffab. Mashonaland (G. Marshall). 



Closely allied to L. affinis, Clark, and L. rvfo-femorata, CI. ; but 

 differing from the former in the sculpture of the head and in the 

 black abdomen, also in its smaller size, and from the latter in the 

 black, not blue, colour, the bifoveolate thorax, and smooth, not 

 rugose, elytral interstices. 



Two specimens are before me. 



CniOCEBIS CTLINDRICOLLIS, n. Sp. 



Obscure fulvous ; the antennae, tibiae, and tarsi black ; thorax 

 subcylindrical, with two rows of punctures ; elytra pale fulvous, 

 regularly and deeply punctured, the interstices convex at the 

 apex.
