the head, {vnd which is not so close to the margin ; the 

 elytra, dorsal strise 1-3 complete, 4 shortened Ijefore the 

 base, 5 somewhat shorter, sutural almost dimidiate; the 

 propygidium has irregular, shallow, subocellate punctures, 

 chiefly on its sides ; the pygidium has large and deep punc- 

 tures, closely set at the base and apically is margined with a 

 rather wide and smooth, not elevated rim; the anterior 

 tibise are 4-denticulate. 



The species in size is similar to P. vicinale, Lew., but the 

 sculpture of the pygidium distinguishes it from the other 

 known West-African species. 



Hab. Angola. 



Omalodes optatus, sp. n. 



Ovatus, convexiusculus, niger, nitidus ; fronte minute punctulata, 

 in medio modice sulcata ; pronoto lateribus dense puuctulato, 

 stria marginali ad angulos valida ; elytris striis 1 integra, 2 basi 

 abbreviata, apice punctis formata ; propygidio utrinque grosse 

 punctato ; pygidio transverse punctato, basi et apice Ifevi ; pro- 

 sterno baud striate ; mesosterno utrinque marginato ; tibiia 

 anticis 4-dentatis. 



L. 10-11 mill. 



The above is similar in outline to 0. felix, Lew. ; it is not 

 so oblong as O. mesiino, Lew., but its size agrees with that 

 Peruvian species. The fine punctuation of the head distin- 

 guishes it from felix ; the scutellar puncture is very distinct ; 

 the first dorsal stria is very fine on the apical half and has a 

 few fine punctures, the second is more marked posteriorly 

 but much shortened at the base, and close to the apical edge 

 it consists of three or four points only ; the propygidium is 

 almost impunctate on the middle of its disc and the smooth 

 area widens out both before and behind; the pygidium, 

 punctures extend across the disc, leaving the apex and the 

 basal area smooth ; the anterior tibiae are 4-deutate. 



Hab. Alto Parana, Argentina (Bertoni). 



Campy lorhabdus (Teinotarsus) poggei, Har., 1879. 

 Harold^s diagnosis of this species is : — 



*'Ater, subnitidus, thorace dense punctulato, ad latera striolato, 

 elytris fortius et dense subrugoso punctatis, stria humerali et 

 dorsalibus septem extus carinatis, interioribus antice abbreviatis, 

 stria suturali antice abbreviata ; prosterno antice lobato-producto, 

 lobo medio emarginato, mesosterno raargiue antieo subrotundato 

 integro, non emarginato." 



L. 11-5 mill.
