vix striafis ; thorace transversim quadrato, bast paululum late lobafo ; 

 elytris ovatis, sulcis septem inodice impressis transversim rugosis, cari- 

 ndque validd laterali. Long. 15 lin. 



Much narrower than the allied species ; dull black, slightly 

 shining. Mandibles with the usual longitudinal carinas (four on the 

 right mandible) much more strongly pronounced than in H. liolco- 

 pleurus and polgpleurits ; the oblique strisD moderately distinct. Tho- 

 rax rather longer and narrower (6 millim. long, 9^^ millim. broad), with 

 more parallel sides ; but hind angles much rounded, with a very short 

 but distinct broad basal lobe. Elytra rather narrower than the thorax, 

 elongate-ovate ; marked each with seven broadish furrows, becoming 

 gradually deeper from the suture to the side, and roughened with 

 transverse wrinkles ; none of them quite reach the apex, where the 

 surface is even and minutely coriaceous. The lateral carina projects 

 throughout beyond the margin, and conceals it when viewed from 

 above. 



Caffraria (Mr. Gerrard) ; two examples. 



ScAEiTEs (Haplotbacheltjs) punctttligee, sp. n. 



Elongato-subovatus, niger, obscurus, modice nitidus; elytris punctalo- 

 sfriatis, striis exterioribusprofundius impressis, interstitio septimo punctis 

 magnis setiferis. Long. 10 lin. 



Similar in form to H. cctpicola, but of a duller black, and distinguished 

 further by the sharp lateral carina, which, however, does not overtop 

 the margin on the apical half of the elytra. The striae are all dis- 

 tinctly punctulate, and the interstices convex, but they become blended 

 before the apex, where the surface is rugulose ; the 7th interstice (be- 

 fore the carina) has a row of long setiferous punctures, and the 3rd 

 has two large punctures near the apex. The mandibles are peculiar, 

 in having the longitudinal carinae effaced. The thorax is nearly semi- 

 lunate, the sides nearly parallel, and the base is broadly and angularly 

 rounded ; the anterior transverse line is very strongly impressed. The 

 anterior tibia) have two denticulations above the third dijiitation. 

 Graham's Town, S. Africa ; one example.
