of the male is very different from that of the other two South 

 African species known to me.

EULEPIDA TSCHINDEANA, n. spec,

Quite similar in shape and size to E. mashona ; the clypeus and 

 the pygidium of the male, the only sex I know, are identical, but the 

 squamose hairs on the upper and under parts are much finer, more 

 closely set, and have therefore a less squamose appearance ; each 

 elytron has four series of very conspicuous but somewhat remote 

 white lanceolate scales irregularly geminate and less numerous on 

 the first dorsal row, a few of these scales can also be detected along 

 the suture, and the apical callus is moderately pubescent. Apart 

 from the difference in vestiture, this species is readily distinguished 

 from the two other South African ones which I have examined by 

 the shape of the genital armature of the male. 



I have retained for this species the MS. name given to it by Herr 

 Brenske, who kindly communicated his example to me. 



Length 27J- mm. ; width 14 mm.

I considered E. mashona identical with this species, and the 

 extremely good figure given in Peter's Eeise looks uncommonly like it, 

 but in his Key to the Species of the genus, Kolbe, who has seen Klug's 

 type, says that in E. lepidota the elytra are subsulcate. The elytra 

 of this species are provided with broad, weakly impressed longitudinal 

 grooves which occur in no other species of the genus.
