382 Mr. G. C. Champion on 



Hah. S. Africa, Malvern, Natal {Mus. Brit. ; Mus. 

 Durban : viii, 1897, vii, 1901), Scbakwe, Rhodesia {Mus. 

 Cape Toivn). 



Nine specimens seen, including four (^,^ and a pair " in 

 copula." A slender, caeruleous, rather smooth, subopaque 

 insect, not unlike P. lugens Gorh. in size and shape, with 

 inconspicuously punctured longer elytra, the head similarly 

 triangularly hollowed anteriorly. There are various 

 similarly coloured Dasytids in Japan and New Zealand. 



20. Pagurodactylus disjunctus. 



Anlhocomus disjunctus Boh., Ins. Caffraria, i, 2, p. 471 ($) 



(1851). 

 Pagurodactylus apicalis Pic, L'Echange, xx, p. 66 (,^$) 



(1904). 



(J. Anterior tarsi thickened, sparsely nigro-setulose beneath, the 

 upper claw very long, much longer and stouter than the lower one, 

 which is subdentate near the base; antennae moderately long, 

 rather slender. 



$. Anterior tarsi slender, the claws small, equal, similar to the 

 others ; elytra more widened posteriorly ; antennae a little shorter. 



Hah. S. Africa, River Limpopo {type of Bohetnan), 

 Mouth of Umkomaas River and Malvern, Natal {type of 

 Pic; Dr. Marshall : ix, x, 1897), Zululand {ex coll. Fry). 



Not rare in Natal. An elongate, subopaque, iiigro- 

 piceous insect, with the head in front, and along the middle, 

 and an apical patch on the elytra (extending a short dis- 

 tance forward along the suture), rufotestaceous ; the 

 antennae and the anterior legs in part testaceous; the 

 puncturing of the upper surface extremely fine and close ; 

 the vestiture fine and sericeous, without longer hairs inter- 

 mixed ; the prothorax as long as broad, feebly canahculate 

 anteriorly; the elytra narrowly margined. Boheman, 

 whose type has been lent me by Dr. Sjostedt, does not allude 

 to the structure of the tarsal claws, which are described by 

 Pic. The antennae are comparatively short and slender, 

 and very different from those of P. vitticeps Gorh. 



21. Pagurodactylus anguslissimus. 



$. Pagurodactylus (?) angustissimus Pic, L'Echange, xxiii, 

 p. 131 (1907).
