the elytral spots being almost absent except at the sides, 
where they are only just indicated, but the exactly 
similarly sculptured and coloured thorax, and every other 
structural character, and the general shape and size, 
agree entirely with the type. 
Grepidodera ijeringneyi, sp. n. 
Black, the head, basal joints of the antennae, the thorax and 
the anterior legs fulvous ; thorax impunctate with deep transverse 
and perpendicular sulci ; elytra metallic-blue, distinctly punctate- 
striate, the interstices very minutely punctured. Length, \^ line. 
Head impunctate, frontal elevations small, carina short and 
broad, labrum black ; antennte not extending to the middle of the 
elytra, the lower four joints fulvous, the others black, the second 
and the following two joints of equal length, the next slightly 
thickened ; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides straight at the 
base, subangularly rounded before the middle, with a narrow 
margin, the surface rather convex, impunctate, with a deep trans- 
verse sulcus near the base, not extending to the sides, but bounded 
at that place by a deep but short perpendicular groove ; scutellum 
black ; elytra wider at the base than the thorax, metallic- blue, 
with rather deep and regular rows of punctures, the interstices 
with a single row of minute punctures, flat ; underside and the 
four posterior legs black, the others fulvous ; posterior tibia3 with 
a small spine, anterior cotyloid cavities closed. 
The specimen before me has no particular locality 
attached, but is probably from the Cape. 
Chmtocnema longicovnis, sp. n. 
Dark seneous, the antennas excessively long, their basal joints 
fulvous, thorax transverse, very closely and strongly punctured, 
elytra strongly punctate-striate, the interstices sparingly punctured 
and wrinkled. Length, 1^ line. 
Head finely transversely strigose at the vertex, rather strongly 
produced between the antennae, the lower portion perpendicularly 
deflexed, with a strongly-raised central ridge extending between the 
antennae upwards, the latter closely approached at the base, more 
than double as long as the body, black, the lower two joints and 
the base of the third fulvous, basal joint long and thickened, 
second one short, third joint the longest, fourth and fifth equal, 
the terminal joints longer and very thin ; thorax twice as broad 
as long, the sides nearly straight, very little narrowed at the base, 
the anterior angles thickened, the surface finely granulate and
