I am indebted for this rectification to Mr. G. A. K. Marshall. I 

 must, however, point out that all the South African species described 

 by Wiedeman were from the neighbourhood of Cape Town, or from 

 the adjoining districts, where G. cupreus, Fahr., does certainly not 

 occur.

" Black, opaque, head and prothorax very densely rugulose, the 

 latter with a longitudinal median smooth fine line ; elytra slightly 

 striate, intervals plane, irregularly granulate punctate, the alternate 

 ones being a little more densely granular than the others. 



Strongly separated from E. ceneus by the plainly black colour, the 

 clypeus which is more broadly incised and more sharply toothed, as 

 well as by the fine but dense rugosity of the head and thorax. I 

 have this species also under the name of E. scrobiculatus, Gory, in 

 litt.

 Sisyphus transvaalensis, n. sp. 

 Male : Shape and facies of S. atratus, Kl. (Cat. i., 104) and of 

 S. quadricollis (loc. cit., p. 103), but as thickly clothed with 

 squamose hairs as S. goryi, and belonging also to the same division 

 (loc. cit., p. 101). The clypeus, including the genae, is sharply 

 tri-dentate on each side, resembling in that respect that of *S\ atratus, 

 but the anterior tibiae are not mucronate underneath ; the inter-
