the antennfe only black, or pale brown ; the legs fulvous, with the 

 tibio-femoral articulation black or dusky brown, the tibia3 and tarsi 

 more or less ringed with black or dusky, the sutural region dark ferru- 

 ginous, the sides also sometimes ferruginous ; head subquadrate, smooth, 

 con-\-ex, rostrum less than twice the length of the head, curved, the 

 basal half trisidcate, the intermediate sulcation extending to the apex, 

 which is triangularly dilated, mandibles small, exserted ; eyes round, 

 situated near the base of the rostrum ; antennae short, thick, inserted 

 at the middle of the rostrum, the second joint curved externally, the 

 inner side near the base deeply constricted, the rest to the eighth inclu- 

 sive shortly triangular, the last three joints larger and perfoliate ; 

 prothorax oblong-ovate, smooth ; el3i;ra rather short, subcylindrical, the 

 apex entire, deeply punctate-striate, the inner stria without punctures ; 

 legs «hort, anterior pair longer, femora and tibife unarmed, tarsi short, 

 robust. Length 3^ lines. 



Zemioses. 



Caput quadratimi, convexum, collo bidbiformi. Rostrum crassuni, brevis- 

 simmn, apice emarginatum. Antennce incrassatse ; articulis transversis, 

 perfoliatis, ultimis tribus majoribus. Prothorax subelongatus, antice 

 angustior, utrinque profiuide impressus. Elytra oblongo-ovata, com- 

 pressa. Pedes mediocres ; tibise brevissimse, apice spinosfe, anticse intus 

 dentatge ; tarsi breves, compressi, subtus ciliati. 



Evidently allied to TajyJiroderes and Giipliagogus, from which it 

 will be at once distinguished by the short, thick rostrum ; from 

 Calodromus* it differs principally in its short and differently formed 

 posterior legs. 



Zemioses porcatus. 



Z. piceus ; elytris striis elevatis, interstitiis transversim costatis. 



Hah. Natal. 



Pitchy ; head reddish ferruginous, short, quadrate, convex in front ; 

 neck bidbiform ; eyes round, moderately prominent, basal ; rostrmn 

 short, thick, deeply emarginate or excavated at the apex ; mandibles 

 small, transverse ; antennse about as long as the prothorax, thickened, 

 perfoliate, arising from a deep sinus below the eyes, the two basal joints 

 shortly obconic, the remainder to the eighth inclusive shortly transverse, 

 the last three forming a pointed club; prothorax smooth, shining, 

 ventricose at the base, compressed and narrowed anteriorly, a deep im- 

 pression at the side, apparently for the reception of the femur and tibia ; 

 elytra narrowly oblong-ovate, compressed, with several sti-ongly elevated 

 lines, the interstices, except near the suture, transversely ribbed ; legs 

 reddish ferruginous, femora clavate, unarmed, tibiae very short, spined 

 at the apex, the anterior dilated and spined also in the middle beneath ; 

 tarsi short, compressed, slightly ciliated beneath. Length 3| lines.
