Hab. S. Africa, Limpopo Kiver {type of Boheman), 

 mouth of Umkomaas River, Natal {Dr. MarshaU : ix, 

 1897). 



Three (^(^ and one $ captured by Dr. Marshall agree with 

 Boheman's description. A narrow, shining, piceous, hirsute 

 insect, with an oblong-oval, rather convex, deflexed, 

 testaceo-bivittate head; prominent eyes; pallid, slender 

 antennae; a long, rather narrow prothorax; rugose, 

 flavo-bifasciate elytra (the second fascia apical) ; and 

 testaceous tarsi. Boheman compares P. coronafus with 

 Anthocomus fasciatus L., which differs greatly in structure 

 from the present species. 



10. Pagurodactylus translucidus, n. sp. 



^. Elongate, narrow, depi-essed, slightly widened posteriorly, 

 shining, somewhat thickly clothed with long, erect hairs ; brassy 

 black, the basal margin of the prothorax, and the lateral margin^ 

 thence to the middle, a transverse, translucid ante-median fascia on 

 the elytra (not reaching the suture), the basal joints of the antennae 

 beneath, and the extreme bases of the tibiae, flavous or testaceous; 

 the entire upper suiface coarsely, rather closely punctured. Head 

 narrow, somewhat elongate, flattened anteriorly, the sides of the 

 front raised and cariniform, the eyes prominent; antennae pilose, 

 long, slender, joints 3-6 gradually increasing in length, 6-11 very 

 elongate. Prothorax narrow, longer than broad, grooved along the 

 sides posteriorly. Elytra elongate, much wider than the prothorax. 

 Legs slender, clothed with long haiis; anterior tarsi with joint 5 

 nigro-setulose and thickened at the tip beneath ; claws long, slightly 

 widened in their basal half, those of the anterior pair subequal. 



$. Antennae much shorter ; elytra more widened posteriorly, the 

 fascia almost obsolete; anterior tarsal joint 5 slender to tip, the 

 claws smaller, equal.

One pair. Larger than Dasytophasis (Attalus) albo- 

 fascialus Gorh. (infra), the entire upper surface coarsely 

 punctured, the head and prothorax broader, the apices of 

 the elytra immaculate. The simple, elongate antennae, 

 the apically-thickened, nigro-setulose terminal joint of the 

 anterior tarsi, and the longer tarsal claws, separate P. 

 translucidus, (^, from the same sex of Dasytophasis capicola 

 and D. albofasciatus. The anterior tarsal claws are almost
