labro antennarumque basi piceis; thorace tenuiter sub-

Hab. Port Natal, Zululand. 
Head finely punctured on the vertex, lower face more

length of the body, the three lower joints piceous, more 
or less stained with black. Thorax nearly twice as 
broad as long; sides nearly straight, diverging from the 
base nearly to the apex, thence abruptly converging to 
the anterior angles, all the angles acute, mucronate ; 
disk finely but distinctly punctured, the puncturing 
coarser and closer on the sides; on either side of the 
anterior disk, near the lateral margin, is a fait longi- 
tudinal excavation. Elytra coadnate, convex, very finely 
and distinctly punctured, the punctures more distinct 
on the sides where they are irregularly placed in 
longitudinal strie. 
Corynodes limbatus. 
Elongato-ovatus, postice ampliatus, convexus, niger, 
nitidus, capite piceo-fulvo, vertice, orbitis antennisque 
(his basi exceptis) nigris; thorace quam longo distincte 
latiori, subconico, piceo-fulvo, utrinque macula irregulari 
nigra ornato; elytris minus nitidis, crebre punctatis, nigris, 
utrisque limbo (basi excepta) piceo-fulvis. Long. 6 lin.

converging near the latter, the hinder angles very acute ; 
disk minutely punctured, impressed on either side with 
a deep fovea. Elytra convex, not depressed below the
