sloping in the anterior part, the punctures somewhat fine and 

 separated by an interval equal to their own diameter ; scutellum 

 punctate ; elytra coriaceous, the punctures deep, somewhat broad, 

 the two costules on either side distinct ; pygidium sloping, very 

 slightly pubescent like the abdominal segments ; pectus clothed 

 with a very dense light fulvous pubescence. The upright teeth 

 of the maxillae are somewhat sharper in this species than in the 

 others. 



Female unknown. 



Length 16-17 mm. ; width 8J-9-J- mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Eiversdale). 



Macrophylla pubens, n. spec. 



Fuscous, elytra and antennae chestnut-brown ; head and prothorax 

 clothed with a dense, short, appressed, light fulvous pubescence, 

 elytra also clothed with a very short, dense pubescence ; clypeus 

 concave, straight in the anterior part and also laterally, and with the 

 outer angles only very slightly rounded, suture distinct, both the 

 head and clypeus are covered with fine, very closely set punctures ; 

 prothorax plainly sinuate laterally in the posterior part, and with 

 the basal angle sharp, covered like the head with very fine and 

 closely set punctures ; scutellum very finely punctured and densely 

 pubescent ; elytra sub-parallel, very finely punctured and having on 

 each side three or four somewhat plain striae in addition to the juxta- 

 sutural one ; the abdomen is missing in the two examples which I 

 have examined; pectus clothed with a long and very dense flavescent 

 pubescence ; antennal club 5-jointed, joint preceding the club lami- 

 nate and moderately long. 



Female unknown. 



This species closely resembles M. ciliata, and is likewise pube- 

 scent on the prothorax and elytra, but it is larger and can easily 

 be distinguished by the 5-jointed, instead of 3-jointed antennal 

 club. 



Length 27 mm. ; width 14 mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (exact locality unknown).
