1902.] Catalogue of the Cohoptera of South Africa. 601 



Hab. British Bechuanaland (Eange), Southern Ehodesia (Sahs- 

 bury; between the Zambesi and the Limpopo Eivers). 



Anomala ovampoa, n. spec. 



Piceous red, with a greenish bronze sheen ; clypeus broadly 

 rounded laterally, sub-retuse in front where it is only slightly 

 reflexed, very closely and roughly punctured, head also roughly 

 punctured from the transverse impressed line to the base ; palpi and 

 antennse piceous red with the club of the latter fiavescent ; prothorax 

 obliquely attenuate laterally from about the median part to the 

 apex, and nearly straight from the middle to the posterior angle, 

 covered with very closely set and deep round punctures separated 

 from one another by a space equal to one of the punctures, and 

 having in the centre a longitudinal smooth area; scutellum with 

 fine scattered punctui^es and a smooth median area ; elytra of the 

 normal shape, and having the three first intervals on each side 

 carinate, sub-tectiform, and smooth, in the third interval the pluri- 

 seriate punctures reach only to about one-fifth of the length, the 

 punctures of the striae are somewhat deep and regular; the pygidium 

 is covered with small but deep foveate punctures somewhat closely 

 set ; the pectus is moderately densely villose ; the anterior tibiae 

 are bi-dentate outwardly, and in the female, the only sex known 

 to me, the outer claw^ of both the anterior and intermediate tarsi 

 are deeply cleft and somewhat broad. 



Length 11 mm. ; width 6 mm. 



Hab. Ovampoland. 



This species resembles very closely A. senecjalensis, the J of 

 which is unknown to me ; but the costae on the elytra are not 

 aciculate, and the punctures on the second and third intervals are 

 more numerous and extend further from the basal part. 



Akomala dita, n. spec, 

 Plate XLL, fig. 41. 



This species is very closely allied to the preceding one, but a 

 ittle more robust in proportion to its size. The colour varies 

 between piceous red and reddish bronze ; the shape of the clypeus 

 is the same, and the sculpture of the whole head is somewhat 

 roughly shagreened, but not quite as strongly as in A. ovampoa; 

 the punctures on the prothorax are finer, less deep, more scattered 

 on the discoidal part, and although being as numerous laterally, 

 they are less rugose there ; the shape of the elytra is normal, but
