the outer margin to the third interval and almost transverse, 

 although a little wider on the seventh and eighth intervals, and

 eighth interval, with the posterior edge subarcuate ; under side 

 closely punctured, thickly pubescent ; tarsi very bristly under-

EuDEMA (Epicosmus) geatiosum, Chaud., 

 Monogr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., 1878, p. 122. 



Might be mistaken for a very small example of E. nohile, but the 

 prothorax is broader in proportion, more hexagonal, and the median 

 part of the base is produced behind, which is not the case in E. 

 nohile, the disk is also more deeply rugose ; the shape of the elytra 

 and the yellow patches are identical, but the punctures in the 

 striae are broader and deeper. Length 11-13 mm. ; width 4-5 mm. 



Hah. Zululand (Eshowe), Transvaal (Potchefstroom). 



EuDEMA (Epicosmus) Bonvouloiei, Chaud., 

 Bull. Mosc, 1861, ii., p. 336. 



Black, subopaque ; head smooth above the epistoma, and very 

 rugose from there to the base of the neck ; outer sides of prothorax 

 diagonal from the apex to two-thirds of the length where the width 

 is equal to the whole length, sloping gradually from there to the 

 posterior angle which is notched, posterior margins recurved, base 

 truncate, disk a little convex in the median part, median groove 

 distinct, punctures broad, deep and confluent, black pubescence 

 short, but dense ; elytra ovate, very convex, gibbose from the 

 median to the posterior part, briefly pubescent, striate, with the 

 intervals very convex and deeply punctured, and having on each 

 side two broad yellow patches : a subhumeral subquadrate, one 

 reaching from the outer margin to the third stria and visible also 

 on the epipleura, and a post-median one nearly equally broad, but 

 not quite so transverse, and reaching from the third to the eighth 

 interval. Length 17 mm. ; width 7 mm. 



Hah. Mozambique (Antioka, Tembe). 



EuDEMA (Epicosmus), oenatum, Bohem., 

 Insect. Caffr., i., p. 125. 



Black, moderately shining, very briefly pubescent ; head narrow, 

 deeply punctured from the epistoma to the neck; prothorax not 

 broader than the neck at the apex, ampliated diagonally laterally
