the puncturing of the elytra is closer and not so coarse; 

 the setae are finer ; and the (^ wants the very deep excava- 

 tions on the vertex; The prothorax and elytral markings 

 are more or less evanescent or variable; the dark va.riety 

 (?) from the same locality has the elytra coloured as in 

 the same sex of P. cephalotes and P. niarginipennis, from 

 which it is separable by its smaller size and shorter antennae. 



17. Pagurodactylus angulatus, n. sp, 



(J. Elongate, narrow, shining, clothed with fine pubescence inter- 

 mixed with long erect hairs ; the head (except in front), prothorax 

 (the basal margin, and the lateral margins thence to the middle 

 excepted), two fasciae on the elytra (basal and post-median), which 

 are connected along the suture, a transverse subapical spot, and the 

 metasternum, piceous, the rest of the body, antennae (except joint 

 1 above), and legs testaceous ; the prothorax densely, finely, the 

 head and elytra more coarsely, punctured. Head rather large and 

 convex, as wide as the prothorax, obliquely narrowed behind the 

 eyes, the latter prominent; antennae short, rather stout. Pro- 

 thorax nearly as long as broad, angularly dilated at a little before 

 the middle. Elytra wider than the prothorax, subparallel. Anterior 

 tarsi thickened, joints 2 and 5 nigro-setulose beneath, the upper 

 claw a little longer and stouter than the lower one. 



$. Head smaller, short; antennae shorter, darker and more 

 slender; elytra widened pasteriorly, testaceous, with a broad, 

 basally and apically dilated, piceous sutural stripe extending from 

 the base to near the tip, the dilated apical portion rhombiform.

Hab. S. Africa, Piquetberg (vi, 1886 : (J), Strand (vii, 

 1887 : ?) {Mns. Cape Toum). 



One pair. A diminutive form of P. cephalotes, with a 

 laterally-angulate, densely pimctured, testaceo-marginate, 

 piceous prothorax; the elytra fusco-bifasciate in ^, and 

 with a basally and apically dilated dark sutural stripe 

 in 9- The $ has been placed in the British Museum. 



18. Pagurodactylus fenestratus, n. sp. 



(^. Moderately elongate, narrow, shining, clothed with scattered 

 pallid pubescence intermixed with long, erect, blackish, bristly 

 hairs ; testaceous, the antennae usually with joints 7-9, 1 at the 

 base above, and 11 at the tip, a transverse patch on the vertex, 

 a spot on the prothorax, two fasciae on the elytra (basal and sub- 

 median, the latter broad, neither reaching the lower outer margin).
