322 Mr. M. Jacoby^s contributions to the knowledge of 
fulvous; antennas extending beyond the base of the thorax, fulvous, 
the apical joint fuscous, the second and the following joints of 
nearly equal length, slightly and gradually thickened, rather 
robust; thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides strongly 
rounded, the anterior angles slightly thickened, not produced, the 
surface convex, black with a bluish gloss, extremely minutely and 
closely punctured, the base with a perpendicular groove at each 
side ; scutellum ovate; elytra regularly and strongly punctate-striate, 
the interstices sparingly and finely punctured, black with a 
metallic-greenish or bluish gloss, the shoulders with an elongate 
subquadrate fulvous spot, extending nearly to the middle of the 
length of the elytra and inwards to the third row of punctures ; 
another rounded fulvous spot is placed near the apex; femora 
blackish; the coxge, tibiae, and tarsi fulvous, tibiae with a small spine. 
Bab. Natal. 
This species^ which was also obtained by Herr Holub 
in Africa,, is of a less elongate shape than most of its 
congeners^ with which it^ however^ has all the structural 
characters in common. 
Blepharicla inornata, sp. n. 
Underside obscurely fulvous, upperside flavous, the terminal 
joints of the antennae fuscous, head strongly punctured ; thorax 
nearly impunctate; elytra flavous with deep, brown, punctured striae, 
without spots, the interstices at the sides convex. Length, 3 lines. 
Head strongly and more or less closely punctured, a small space 
above the base of the antennae at each side impunctate, labrum 
flavous; antennae only extending to the base of the thorax, fulvous 
or flavous, the terminal joints darker, the second joint scarcely 
shorter than the third and following joints, the last ones thickened; 
thorax nearly three times broader than long, the sides straight at 
the base, obliquely narrowed in front before the middle, but 
without forming a distinct angle, narrowly margined, anterior 
margins slightly thickened, not produced, the surface very finely 
and sparingly punctured or nearly impunctate, with a short oblique 
groove at the sides of the anterior margin, not extending to the 
middle, obsoletely stained with some fulvous markings at the sides 
and middle ; scutellum small, piceous ; elytra flavous with regular 
rows of deep fulvous punctures, of which the second and third and 
the fourth and fifth rows are joined at the base, while at the other 
end, the fourth row unites with the seventh, and the fifth with the 
sixth row ; the interstices are impunctate, without spots, and convex 
at the sides to a small degree; underside and legs fulvous, closely 
punctured
