the Dasytinae oj South Africa. 373 



P. {Altalus) liKjcns Gorh. the present species is larger, the 

 margins of the prothorax are more reflexed towards the 

 base, and the setae are longer. 



6. Pagurodactylus lugens. 



$. Attains (?) lugens Gorh., Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), 

 vii, p. 357 (1901). 



Hah. S. Africa, Sahsbury, Rhodesia. 



Four specimens seen. A small, narrow, elongate, shining 

 black insect, sparsely clothed with rather long, semierect 

 greyish hairs intermixed with the scattered pubescence; 

 head long, narrow, hollowed dowai the middle; prothorax 

 longer than broad, very sparsely punctulate ; elytra long, 

 narrowly margined, rugulosely punctured ; legs and 

 antennae slender. P. lugens has somewhat the facies of 

 P. metallicvs (No. 19), and the anterior tarsi of the (^ are 

 probably similarly formed. 



7. Pagurodactylus circumcinctus. 

 Dasyles circumcinctus Redt., Reise Novara, ii, p. 107 (1867). 



(J. Anterior tarsi slightly thickened, sparsely nigro-setulose 

 beneath, the claws unequal in length, the upper one longer than the 

 other ; antennae short ; eyes convex. 



$. Anterior tarsi slender, the claws smaller, equal ; eyes less 

 prominent; body more elongate, the prothorax less transverse, 

 the elytra much longer and widened to beyond the middle, 



Hab. S. Africa, Cape of Good Hope (type), Cape Town and 

 Stellenbosch {Mns. Cape Town), Wynberg {Dr. Marshall), 

 Lion's Head, and Camps Bay {R. E. Turner : viii, ix, 

 1920), Mossel Bay, Table Moimtain [W. Bevins). 



A shining black, nigro-hirsute form, with the mouth- 

 parts, the expanded margins of the elytra, the anterior and 

 intermediate tibiae in part, and sometimes the antennae 

 to near the tip, testaceous; the head and prothorax very 

 sparsely, finely, the elytra rather coarsely, closely punctate. 

 Less elongate and much more shining than P. angustissimus 

 Pic, and clothed with intermixed long, black, bristly hairs ; 

 the head and prothorax shorter and broader, very sparsely 

 punctate, and not sulcate; the elytra coarsely punctured, 

 and with the expanded outer margin only testaceous. 

 Redtenbacher describes the antennae as testaceous. The 

 type, Dr. Holdhaus informs me, cannot now be found in the 

 Vienna Museum. Found in plenty on Table Mountain by 

 Mr. Bevins.
