Hah. Cameroon s (Conrad). 



This species, of which I received specimens from Dr. Kraatz, 

 differs entirely from any of its allies in the character of the elytral 

 punctation. 



Candezea salisburiensis, sp. n. 



Eufous, the antennae and legs flavous ; thorax very minutely 

 punctured ; elytra more distinctly and very closely punctured, 

 metallic blue, the extreme apex fulvous. 



Length 5 millim. 



Head with a few fine punctures, rufous, deeply transversely 

 grooved between the antennae, the clypeus swollen ; antennae rather 

 short, flavous, the second joint short, the third about one-half longer, 

 the fourth and following joints slightly widened and shorter, 

 terminal joint more elongate again ; thorax twice as broad as long, 

 the sides oblique, straight, the surface very finely and closely 

 punctured ; scutellum fulvous ; elyti'a more strongly punctured

ffab. Salisbury, Mashonaland (0. Marshall). 



Closely allied to G. nigroccerulea Jac, likewise from Salisbury,

 specimens of this species.

 lum black ; elytra minutely punctured and finely wrinkled, very 

 narrowly margined with black ; breast black. 



Length 4-5 millim. 



Ovate, slightly widened at the middle, the head impunctate, 

 rather broad, the frontal elevations slightly raised and broad as 

 well as the clypeus; the antennae extending to about the middle of 

 the elytra, testaceous, the apical joint fuscous, basal joint very long 

 and slender, the second and third short, nearly equal ; thorax twice 

 as broad as long, the sides straight, obliquely narrowed, anterior
