pubescent ; anterior femora deeply, arcuately notched near the 

 apex ; anterior tibiae deeply emarginate inwardly at base ; anterior 

 tarsi short, the joints thick, those of the intermediate and posterior 

 legs as broad at apex as at base, set very close to each other, shiny, 

 and with only a few bristles at the joints. 



Length 20 mm. ; width 8 mm. 



Hab. Natal (Pine Town). 



This species was originally described from the Zanzibar mainland. 



CffiNOCHILUS PEOPINQUUS, 11. sp. 



Male : Dark chestnut-brown, glabrous on the upper side and 

 somewhat shiny ; clypeus weakly, transversely plicate, vertex 

 punctate and with a somewhat obliterated occipital ridge ; prothorax 

 as broad as long, but only moderately ampliate rounded laterally, 

 and with the lateral basal part only moderately broadly rounded, the 

 outer margin has a fringe of long, light fulvous hairs, there are no 

 traces of a longitudinal median impressed line, but there is a fairly 

 broad sub-triangular, marginal impression on each side of the base, 

 and the surface is covered with round punctures separated by a 

 smooth interval about equal in size to their diameter; scutellum 

 closely aciculate at the base and numerously punctate in the lower 

 part ; elytra broader than the prothorax at its widest part and 

 having on each side two juxta-sutural somewhat wide costules not 

 much more raised than the posterior part of the suture, and a some- 

 what obliterated one at about the median part, the first two are 

 separated by shallow lines, but not so the third, and the surface is 

 covered with elongated cicatricose punctures almost coalescing ; 

 pygidium vertical and with a faint, median longitudinal raised line, 

 very closely aciculate ; abdomen strigillate ; pectus clothed with a 

 dense, fulvous pubescence ; joints of intermediate and hind tarsi long, 

 slightly nodose only at apex, and bristly ; hind tibiae of normal shape. 



Length 17-18 mm. ; width 7^-8 mm. 



Hal>. Cape Colony (Graham's Town); Orange River Colony 

 (Bothaville). Found in the latter locality with termites. 



This species is doubtless allied to C. emarginatus, but it is twice as 

 long, and the shape of the maxillary teeth is not so slender.
