1908.] Catalogue of the Coleoptera of South Africa. 551 



Hab. Zululand ; Southern Ehodesia (Gazaland, Chirinda 

 Forest). 



Two other species of Passalidce have been described from South 

 Africa by Keuwert, Deutsch. Entom. Zeitschr., 1891. The descrip- 

 tion of both the genera and the species is so very brief that their 

 identification is scarcely possible, and not having seen them I cannot 

 give a more detailed description. 



That these two species occur in the South African area requires 

 confirmation. 



Gen. TIBEEIUS, Kuw. (Basilianus, part. Kaup.), 

 Deutsch. Entom. Zeitschr., 1891, p. 164. 



"The left porrect process of the clypeus is scarcely broader or 

 larger than the right, and extends straight out. Antennal club 5- or 

 6-jointed." 



Tiberius caffee, Kuw., 

 Loc. cit., p. 164. 



"Antennal club consisting of six short joints diminishing gradually 

 towards the pedicel. The side furrows and intervals similar to those 

 found in the genus Cancrus. 



Length 36 mm." 



Gen. NELEUS, Kaup, 



Coleopt, Heft v., 1869, p. 30. 



" Clypeus 4-toothed, the teeth set at about the same distance 



from each other. Forehead declivous, broad but short, and strewn 



with deep punctures, the border arcuate towards the clypeal horn. 



Body not hairy. Cephalic horn a little free, or scarcely so." 



Neleus transvaalensis, Kuw., 

 Deutsch. Entomol. Zeitschr., 1891, p. 186. 

 " Under tooth of the jaws consisting of a small point, becoming 

 obliquely smaller towards the front and rounded off. Greatly 

 resembling M. punctiger, Serv.
