1902.] Catalogue of the Colcoptcra of South Africa. 585 



Elongato-ovate, the head of medium size, densely punctate every- 

 where on tlie upper side, rugoso-punctate in parts with raised 

 longitudinal stripes on the elytra. Colour pale yellowish brown ; 

 clypeus, palpi, antennae, and sides of the prothorax paler yellow ; 

 under side as w^ell as the legs pale yellow, the only brownish part 

 being a mark on each side of the sternum in front of the attachment 

 of the hind femora, and also on the tarsi of all the legs. Several 

 examples from Tette (Mozambique)." 



Through the courtesy of Herr Kolbe, of the Berlin Museum, 

 I have been able to examine one of the co-types. The shape, 

 sculpture, and vestiture of this species are the same as in A. ■picinus, 

 Fahr., but the clypeus is not quite so deeply emarginate in the 

 centre as in that species ; the emargination is more like that of 

 A. tessullatus, Burm., = A. maculatus, Fahr.
