Phlceozetus blandus, 

 Plate VI., fig. 1. 



Palpi, and the three basal joints of the antennae pale yellow, the 

 other joints infuscate ; head slightly plicate in front, punctulate, 

 infuscate in the anterior part, testaceous red behind ; prothorax 

 testaceous red with the outer margins yellowish, punctulate ; elytra 

 elongate, subparallel, very plane, with striated series of very shallow 

 punctures with the intervals quite plane, pale yellow, shining, with a 

 broad transverse black bisinuate band beginning at the median part, 

 reaching from outer margin to outer margin, produced along the 

 suture in an elongated triangular spur directed towards the scutellum, 

 and behind in a narrow band covering the first interval only and very 

 nearly reaching the suture ; under side reddish yellow, with often 

 the two apical abdominal segments more or less infuscate. Length 

 6^-7 mm. ; width 3-3^ mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Carnarvon District). 



Phlceozetus l^tus, 

 Plate VL, fig. 2. 



Palpi, four basal joints of antennae, legs, head, and prothorax 

 testaceous red ; head very rugose in the anterior part, smooth 

 behind ; prothorax nearly smooth or very finely irregular ; elytra 

 elongate, subparallel, very shining, striate with a series of closely 

 set shallow punctures, with the intervals quite plane, yellowish red, 

 with a broad transverse band beginning at about the median part 

 and reaching from one outer margin to the other, broader on the 

 fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth intervals, and sending up along the 

 suture a triangular band, the apex of which reaches the scutellum, 

 and behind an infuscate line covering the first interval and very 

 nearly reaching the apex — there is besides a small round more or 

 less evanescent infuscate spot at the base on the third stria, which 

 will be most probably wanting in other examples of the same 

 species ; under side pale yellow, with the three last abdominal 

 segments infuscate. Length 6 mm. ; width 3 mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Stellenbosch). 



Phlceozetus incertus, 

 Plate VI. , fig. 3. 



Palpi, antennae, and head pale yellowish red ; prothorax a little 

 paler than the head, rugulose ; elytra elongate, subparallel, narrowly 

 striate, with the intervals plane, pale yellow, with a quadrate post- 

 median infuscate or black patch extending on each side as far as the 

 fifth stria, but not reaching the apical part of the elytra ; under side
