middle two longitudinal crests crowned by numerous small tubercles, 
at the sides also two smaller round prominences placed directly midway 
between the apex and base ; elytra ovate, rather broader than the pro- 
thorax, covered with several (about a dozen or more on each elytron) 
oblong callosities running parallel to but at a distance from the suture, 
and with a few minute granules between them; body beneath and legs 
black, shining, and rugose, with a short pubescence partially filling in 
the hollows; tarsi glabrous, glossy black. Length 6-7 lines. 
This is probably the “second” species alluded to by M. Lacordaire 
(Gen. v. p. 356). It differs from Solier’s HZ. nodosus in its ovate, not 
globose, elytra, each with a dozen or more oblong longitudinal ele- 
vations or tubercles, not with six only, “ joined three and three, and 
forming two transverse callosities.” M. Lacordaire’s description of 
Eutelus applies perfectly to this species and to Z. nodosus ; but, from 
some oversight, he has represented as the latter the species I have 
described below under the name of Cyrtotyche Satanas. 
Crrrorycue [ Kuteline }. 
Characteres ut in Eutelo; sed caput retractum. Llytra epipleuris antice 
obsoletis. TZibie elongate, tenuate, valde curvatee, anticee intus pro- 
ductee. Corpus glabrum. 
A remarkable form, closely allied to Hutelus, but which, owing to 
the absence of the peculiar vestiture of that genus, the longer legs, 
and slender, curved tibiz, has quite another habit. It is figured on 
M. Lacordaire’s plate under the name of Hutelus nodosus, Sol. 
Cyrtotyche Satanas. 
C. purpureo-fusca, nitida; antennis, palpis tarsisque nigvis. 
Hab. Natal. 
Dark purplish brown, shining; head minutely punctured ; prothorax 
rather broader than the elytra, very convex and arched above, and much 
contracted at the base, four glossy oblong tubercles in a transverse line 
in the centre, with two on each side behind, the uppermost very large 
and prominent, the lowermost bifid, the intervals rather dull, irregular 
and impunctate ; scutellum very small, triangular; elytra impunctate, 
short and globose, scarcely as broad as the prothorax at the base, irre- 
eularly covered with large conical tubercles, the intervals pitted here 
and there, especially near the suture; body beneath black, shining ; 
legs dark purple, shining; tarsi black. Length 7 lines. 
Byzacnvs [ Euteline }. 
Characteres ut in Eutelo ; sed prothorax subquadratus, supra cequalis, mo- 
dice convexus, lateribus paulo rotundatus, apice late emarginatus, carina
