240 MR. M. JACOBY ON PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTEBA [Mar. 6, 



pubescent : legs fulvous, the femora more or less aeneous, unarmed, 

 claws bifid ; prosternum broad, subquadrate, punctured and pu- 

 bescent ; the posterior legs widely separated. 



Hah. Dunbrody, Cape Colony {Rev. J. O'JSt'd). 



A good many specimens of this species were kindly sent to me 

 by the Kev. J. O'Neil, who seems to be an ardent entomologist 

 and collector. The insect must come close to P. rotundicollis 

 Chap., which is diagnosed in a three-line description, and which 

 says nothing about the colour of the legs nor mentions a pubescence 

 arranged in bands, which can be plainly seen in well-marked 

 specimens ; these bands are of uneven shape and the bairs composing 

 them are long ; the general colour is a dark cupreous. 



Pausieis fuscitaesis, sp. n. 



Obscure aeneous, clothed with white pubescence, the antennae 

 and the tibia? fulvous ; thorax very finely and closely punctured, 

 with rows of closely arranged pubescence : tarsi fuscous. 



Length 3 millim. 



Head broad, closely punctured, and clothed with white pu- 

 bescence, labrum and palpi fulvous ; antennae with the terminal 

 five joints strongly thickened, fulvous, the second joint thicker but 

 scarcely shorter than the third, this and the following three joints 

 more elongate ; thorax subglobulose, widened and thickened at 

 the middle, rounded at the sides, the latter with a distinct margin, 

 the surface finely and closely punctured, obscure cupreous, clothed 

 with long whitish hairs ; scutellum subquadrate : elytra wider at 

 the base than the thorax, the shoulders prominent, the pu notation 

 slightly stronger than that of the thorax, and arranged in close and 

 irregular rows,the interstices closely covered with white hairs, which 

 are likewise arranged in closely approached rows; below and the legs 

 similarly pubescent, the femora distantly placed at the base, un- 

 armed ; the tibiae fulvous, the tarsi fuscous. 



Hah. Salisbury, Mashonaland, also Malvern, .Natal ( G. Marshall). 



I have seen four specimens of this species, kindly sent by Mr. G. 

 Marshall. It differs from the other described species in the colour 

 of the antennae and tibiae and other details.

 punctures at the base.

Of strongly convex, semicircular shape, the head very finely 

 punctured ; the clypeus nearly impunctate, feebly separated from 

 the face ; the antennas black, the basal joint sometimes fulvous
