finer one along the outer margin of the elytra ; clypeus parabolic, 

 clypeal suture hardly visible, covered, like the head, with closely set, 

 deep, somewhat rounded punctures ; prothorax gradually narrowed 

 laterally from the blunt angular basal part to the apex, and not 

 sinuate in the posterior part, distinctly sloping in the anterior, 

 having in the front part of the disk a somewhat broad median 

 elongated impression and covered with round, fairly deep punctures 

 not very closely set ; scutellum hardly punctate ; elytra a little 

 narrower at the base than the base of the prothorax, somewhat 

 sinuate laterally in front of the median part, having two fairly 

 distinct costules, and covered with deep, round punctures separated 

 by an interval narrower than their diameter; antennal club 5-jointed, 

 the joint preceding the club very briefly laminate ; pygidium ver- 

 tical, and, like the abdominal segments, very slightly pubescent ; 

 pectus with a very dense fulvous pubescence. 



Female unknown.

Macrophylla capicola, n. spec. 



Similar in build and colour to M. natalensis, also glabrous on the 

 upper side, but differing in the shape of the clypeus which is nearly 

 straight in front but has the outer angles broadly rounded, the 

 clypeal suture is weakly indicated ; the basal angles of the pro- 

 thorax are sharper ; the punctures on the head are much finer, those 

 on the prothorax and elytra are much shallower, and the latter are 

 scarcely coriaceous ; pygidium vertical, briefly pubescent ; pectus 

 with a very dense and long flavescent pubescence. 



Female unknown.

Macrophylla nigeicollis, n. spec. 

 Black, with the elytra reddish-brown or chestnut-red, glabrous on 

 the upper side, except along the base of the prothorax and the outer 

 margins of the elytra which are sub-parallel ; clypeus parabolic, 

 suture obliterated or hardly visible, deeply and very closely punc- 

 tured, the punctures slightly more closely set than on the vertex ; 

 antennal club 5-jointed, the joint preceding the club laminate but 

 varying in length, and occasionally very small ; prothorax slightly 

 sinuate laterally in the posterior part, with the basal angles rounded, 

 impressed longitudinally on the front part of the disk, moderatelv
