Camenta (Hemicamenta) tumida, n. spec. 



This species, the male of which is unknown to me, but will prob- 

 ably prove to be much more elongated, will be easily recognised by 

 its rotund facies, which is much more convex than that of the female 

 of C. cajfrina. Head and prothorax piceous, elytra chestnut-brown ; 

 clypeus incised laterally past the median part, and narrowed thence 

 to the sharp anterior angles, which, however, do not project, faintly 

 bi-sinuate in the anterior margin, nearly smooth in front, but deeply 

 punctured between the clypeal keel and the suture, head covered 

 with nearly contiguous round punctures ; prothorax with sub-con- 

 tiguous round punctures, outer margins serrulate in the posterior 

 parts ; elytra very convex, with the intervals between the very 

 plainly raised costules filled with equi-distant, round, deep punctures. 



Length 11-12-J mm. ; width 6^-7 mm. 



Hob. Cape Colony (Albany, Seymour). 



Camenta (Empecamenta) rhodesiana, n. spec. 



Chestnut-red, clothed on the upper side with a somewhat dense, 

 erect, light fulvous pubescence ; anterior part of the head ferrugi- 

 nous, clypeus not incised and narrowed laterally, but very deeply 

 notched in the anterior part the angles of which are much rounded, 

 the clypeal keel is sinuate and highly raised, the clypeal suture is 

 almost obliterated, the anterior part of the clypeus is smooth, the 

 posterior and also the head roughly foveate ; the 4-jointed antennal 

 club of the male is very long, and the joints equal, the sixth joint of 

 the pedicel is compressed, and the three preceding it very short and 

 equal in length ; prothorax short and very diagonally ampliated 

 laterally from the anterior to the median part, somewhat deeply and 

 closely punctured, each puncture bearing a hair ; elytra of the 

 normal shape but without any traces of costule, deeply punctured, 

 each puncture divided by a smooth space equal to their diameter and 

 each bearing a hair. 



Female unknown. This species is closely allied to E. sierra leonis, 

 Brsk., the type of which is a female, but the prothorax slopes more 

 laterally from the anterior angle to the median part. 



Length 10 mm. ; width 5f mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Sebakwe).
