slightly bi-sinuate in the base which is not marginate, and covered 

 with very closely set, deep punctures, the median longitudinal 

 groove is nearly obliterated ; scutellum small, not carinate longi- 

 tudinally ; elytra very sharply carinate, the first three as well as the 

 fifth, seventh, and ninth carina reaching to the apex, intervals filled 

 with a series of deep, round punctures ; under side almost glabrous ; 

 anterior tibiae of male broadly dilated triangularly inwardly at 

 apex, basal joint of intermediate tarsi straight, bx'iefly spinose 

 inwardly but shorter even with the spine than the apical 

 spur, basal joint of posterior tarsi slightly inflexed and produced 

 inwardly in a diagonal tooth reaching to about the same length as 

 the apical spur. 



Length 3-3|^ mm. ; width 1^-li mm. 



Hah. Natal (Estcourt, Durban). 



Dbepanocerus connexus, n. spec. 



Very closely allied to D. spinitarsis, but the clypeus in the male is 

 not so narrowly and so deeply incised, and the angles of the emargi- 

 nation, although also reflexed, are not sub-tuberculate, the frontal 

 impressed line is not distinct, the shape and sculpture of the 

 prothorax and elytra are identical, but the longitudinal median 

 gi'oove in the former is very distinct, and in the male the basal 

 joint of the posterior tarsi is nearly straight, as long as the apical 

 spur, and is briefly hamate inwardly at apex ; the anterior tibias 

 are not so triangularly dilated inwardly. The female is unknown 

 to me. 



Length 4 mm. ; width 2 mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Somerset East, Kimberley). 



This species bore in Drege's collection the name of Oxyomits 

 genmiatus Sturm (in litt.). 



Drepanocanthus intrusus, n. spec. 



Black, sub-opaque, nearly glabrous, legs piceous red ; head closely 

 punctulate, simple, clypeus broadly but not very deeply emarginate 

 in both sexes, and with the angles of the emargination not sharp, 

 slightly sinuate laterally, genaj projecting nearly at right angles 

 above the eyes; prothorax moderately convex, very slightly rounded 

 laterally but not ampliate, marginate along the base the outer angles 

 of which are moderately sharp, deeply and closely punctulate, 

 briefly and not densely fringed with hairs laterally, and with the
