the basal joints of the antennae in part, the head in front 

 and along the middle, and the tibiae and tarsi testaceous ; 

 the upper surface rather coarsely punctured ; the antennae 

 elongate in ^ ; the prothorax broader than long ; the elytra 

 narrowly margined. 



3. Pagurodactylus cribrosus, n. sp. 



9. Moderately elongate, narrow, subpaiallel, shining; the entire 

 upper surface coarsely, closely punctate (the punctures on the head 

 very coarse and umbilicate), and clothed with long, fine, erect hairs ; 

 nigro-piceous, the anterior portion of the head and the basal joints 

 of the antennae in part, and the basal margin of the prothorax, 

 testaceous. Head rather short, somewhat convex; antennae very 

 short. Prothorax about as long as broad, a little wider than the head, 

 much narrowed anteriorly. Elytra moderately long, much wider 

 than the prothorax, narrowly margined, the spaces betAveen the 

 coarse punctures smooth. Anterior tarsi slender. 



c^. Narrower, the front of the head, the antennae, and tarsi paler, 

 the legs a little stouter; antennae longer; eyes more convex; 

 anterior tarsi thickened, joint 2 distinctly produced at the apex 

 within, 5 sparsely nigro-setulose beneath, the upper claw longer 

 than the lower one. 



Length 2 s -3 mm. 



Hab. Natal, Malvern [c^] and Umgeni [$] (Dr. Marshall : 

 vi, vii, 1897). 



One pair. Separable from P. circumcinctus Redt. and 

 other allied forms by the coarse puncturing of the upper 

 surface, particularly of the head, and the subparallel shape 

 in the two sexes, the elytra entirely infuscate. 



4. Pagurodactylus angustulus, n. sp. 



^. Elongate, narrow, slightlj^ widened posteriorlj^ shining, clothed 

 with fine pubescence intermixed with long, soft, erect hairs ; aeneo- 

 piceous or brassy-black, the basal joints of the antennae, tibiae, and 

 tarsi sometimes in part, testaceous ; the head and prothorax some- 

 what coarsely and rather closely (except a narrow smooth space 

 down the middle of the disc of the latter in some specimens), the 

 elytra densely, rugosely, punctured. Head about as wide as the 

 prothorax, moderately long, bi-impressed in front and fovea te on 

 the vertex; antennae moderately long, rather slender. Prothorax 

 convex, longer than broad, narrowed in front and behind, the lateral 

 margins not prominent. Elytra wider than the prothorax, elongate. 

 Anterior tarsi slightly thickened, joints 3 and 4 (as seen in profile)
