and the margins fringed with dense, long hairs ; pygidium closely 

 punctulate ; abdomen hairy, pectus and femora densely hairy. 



Length 12 mm. ; width 6 mm. 



Hab. Transvaal (no exact locality). 



Paracamenta suturalis, n. spec. 



Testaceous, with the posterior part of the clypeus, the head, the 

 median discoidal part of the prothorax, and a broad sutural band 

 black ; antennae rufescent ; build and sculpture of P. conspicua, but 

 without a fringe of long hairs along the sides of the prothorax 

 and elytra ; the clypeus is of the same shape as in P. conspicua, 

 and the posterior part is equally scabroso-punctate, but the hairs 

 there are not so dense, the under side is, however, as hairy. 



Length 10-| mm. ; width 5f mm. 



Hab. Natal (Hilton Eoad). 



Paracamenta lydenburgiana, n. spec. 



Head and under side fuscous, prothorax reddish ; elytra almost 

 straw-colour, antennae rufescent ; anterior part of the clypeus nearly 

 impunctate, broadly excavate, posterior part punctate and hairy, 

 head punctulate ; club of antennae very long, joints equally long, 

 third joint of pedicel aculeate at the base ; prothorax of the normal 

 shape, but a little more elongate than usual, and with a fringe of 

 long but not dense flavescent hairs ; elytra cylindrical, punctate, 

 costules evanescent, lateral fringe of hairs not dense ; under side 

 hairy.

Paracamenta verticalis, Bohem., 



Insect. Caffr., ii., p. 109. 



Brick-red, somewhat shining and fringed along the prothorax and 

 the elytra with very long, dense flavescent hairs ; clypeus shaped as 

 in the two preceding species, but the hollowed anterior part is very 

 narrow, and the long, erect hairs spring from nearer the anterior 

 margin, and are very long ; the shape and sculpture of the elytra 

 is as in the preceding species and quite as deep in proportion to the 

 size of the insect ; the abdomen and femora are hairy, and the 

 pectus densely so ; the antennal club is very long, and all the joints 

 are equal in the male, the third joint of the pedicel is long and 

 somewhat aculeate inwardly in the median part.
