South African Coleopterous Fauna. 261 



Length 9-10 mm. ; width 3^-4 mm. 

 Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Sebakwe). D. Dods. 

 The nearest ally of this species is A. segnis, Paring. ; but the shape 

 of the impressions on the prothorax is different. 



TEIBE AMARYGMINI. 



GEN. PAEAMARYGMUS, Qued. 

 PAEAMARYGMUS GRATULUS, n. sp. 



Light bronze on the upper side, bronze with a reddish sheen on 

 the under side, shining, glabrous ; antennae, palpi, legs rufescent ; 

 labrum also rufescent ; head with a faint transverse impression 

 between the two autennal auriculate processes, minutely and closely 

 punctate ; the four penultimate joints of the antennae are some- 

 what turbinate, and the apical one ovate ; prothorax attenuate 

 laterally in the anterior part, but not in the posterior, and with 

 the apical and basal angles sharp, outer margins carinate, the dis- 

 coidal part is moderately convex, and the whole surface finely 

 aciculate ; scutellum triangular, punctate ; elytra slightly wider at 

 the base than the prothorax but with the shoulders rounded, ovate, 

 strongly convex, and dehiscent behind, finely punctate-striate with 

 the intervals plane on the dorsal part, convex laterally, and plainly 

 punctulate, along the carinate epipleural fold is a series of somewhat 

 wide, elongated punctures ; abdomen longitudinally strigose. 



Length 5-6| mm. ; width 3|-4i mm. 



Hab. Natal (Durban). C. N. Barker. 



PAEAMAEYGMUS AMOENUS, n. sp. 



A close ally of the preceding species, and coloured alike, but 

 although equally convex yet having a different facies owing to the 

 great convexity of the elytra being past the median part ; the 

 punctate striae of the elytra are slightly more shallow, and the 

 intervals quite plane laterally, the punctures along the carinate 

 epipleural fold are quite distinct, but the intervals which are also 

 finely, although somewhat obsoletely, aciculate are wider than in 

 P. gratulus. 



Length 8 mm. ; width 4J mm. 



Hab. Natal (Frere). G. A. K. Marshall.
