smooth intervals, and bear each a short hair, the two dorsal costules 

 are very faint ; the 4-jointed club is not quite the length of the 

 pedicel, and the whole antennae are rufo-navescent. 



Length 6J-7J mm. ; width 4-4-J mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Victoria Falls, Sebakwe). 



Camenta (Empecamenta) mashona, n. spec. 



Testaceous, with the head and prothorax brick-red, moderately 

 shining, and clothed all over with erect, somewhat densely set, long, 

 flavescent hairs ; clypeus narrowed laterally below the strongly 

 angular notch, plainly tri-dentate in front owing to there being a 

 conspicuous median tooth on the anterior margin and the two outer 

 angles being sharply reflexed and acute ; there is a strongly de- 

 veloped transverse bi-sinuate keel, and the clypeal suture is deep, 

 the head and the posterior half of the clypeus are very coarsely 

 punctate, and the anterior part is somewhat excavate ; prothorax 

 ampliated laterally, rounded there past the median part and with 

 both angles broadly rounded, covered with somewhat irregular, deep, 

 moderately closely set punctures ; scutellum punctate in the centre ; 

 elytra sub-cylindrical, somewhat elongated, without traces of cos- 

 tules, deeply punctate ; pygidium, abdominal segments, and pectus 

 pubescent, anterior tibiae bi-dentate, antennal club of male 4-jointed. 



Owing to the presence of the strong clypeal keel and deep suture, 

 as well as the narrowed anterior part of the clypeus, this species 

 might be mistaken for a Microcamenta. But the genae are not 

 greatly developed, and the claws are those of Camenta ; the antennal 

 club of the male is 4- instead of 7-jointed. 



Length 8-8-J- mm. ; width 4J-4^ mm.

Empecamenta boromensis, Brancs., 



Jahr. Ver. Trencs., xvi., 1897, p. 113, pi. iv., fig. 4. 



" Elongate, yellowish, with flavid hairs, roughly and densely 

 punctate on the upper side ; clypeus narrowed at apex, slightly 

 emarginate laterally before the apex, with a foveate impression 

 towards the rounded anterior angles ; antennae testaceous ; head and 

 prothorax darker than the elytra ; thorax transverse, longer by one- 

 half than broad, rounded laterally past the middle, narrowed in the 

 anterior part, the fore margin straight, the posterior broadly rounded, 

 dorsal part with hairs shorter than those on the margins ; elytra not 

 wider at the base than the prothorax, gradually ampliated behind, 

 rounded and declivous at apex, two and a half times as long as the
