Anacerastes Labram & Imhoif, Gen. Cure, i., nr. 31 (1842). 



The males of this African genus as well as of the preceding Indo- Australian 

 genus Apolecta Pascoe have, on the convex middle of the first abdominal segment, two 

 brush-like tufts of hairs which are absent in the females. 



Hitherto three species of Anacerastes have been described, namely: A. lejjtdits 

 l>abr. & Indi. (type of genus), A. undulatus Qued., and A. subcostatus Qued., all 

 from W. Africa ; of these species the latter is unknown to me. 1 have to add six 

 more .species, and an-ange them in two well-distinguished groups : — 



I. Antennal grooves bordered dorsally by a carina ; second joint of antennae 

 scarcely half as long again as broad at the tip ; basal carina of prothorax straight on 

 the back, slightly curved backwards close to the lateral angle ; the infero-lateral 

 portion of the carina regularly arched, bordering the basal supracoxal de])ression of 

 the jirosternum, and standing at right angles, or nearly so, to the dorso-lateral part, 

 with the tip of the angle somewhat rounded. 



Large species, allied to A. lepidus Labr. & Imh. 



To avoid unnecessary repetition I give some other characters common to the 

 following four new species : L'pper surface densely gramdar, the granules stronger on 

 head and ]>rothorax, where they are partly confluent to short wrinkles ; elytra punc- 

 tate-slriate, each jjuncture bearing a small granule in iront, interspaces densely and 

 minutely granular, the grannies extremely tine in .4. (/Ye/- sp. nov.; pygidium imi)ressed 

 at the ai)ex in the females ; jiro.steruum with less densely set granules, anteriorly 

 regularly transversely plicate ; meta-sternuin and abdomen densely granidate-puncta^e.
