42 Mr. C. N. Barker on new 
In addition to the species enumerated above, the Collection 
contains two further species of this group (a male and two 
females of one and two pairs of the other), which I believe 
to be new and describe below. 
The species C. oodioides, Chd.= Oodes puncticollis, Boh., 
is quite unknown to me as well as to Dr, Péringuey, who 
states in reference to it that the type is no longer in the 
Stockholm Museum. It is very probable that it is not a 
Chlenius at all, but a Systolocranius, which, if it is truly 
referable to Boheman’s Oodes puncticollis (page 161, Ins. 
Caftrariz), the description certainly suggests it to be. 
To assist in the determination of the new with the pre- 
viously described species of the group, the following brief 
table may be useful :— 
1(10). Colour black; legs, palpi, and 
antennes wholly reddish. 
2 (7). Legs and antenne longer, the 
latter filiform. 
3 (4). Size 123-18 mm.; sexes alike; 
prothorax trapeziform, hardly 
sinuate laterally, densely punc- 
tate ; puncturation beneath 
sparse and fine; elytra sub- 
opaque, intervals nearly plane, 
shagreen-punctate .......... C. piceus, Chaudoir. 
4 (3). Size smaller (10-11 mm.); males 
shiny; females—elytra  sub- 
opaque; prothorax narrower, 
more sinuate laterally above 
posterior angle; puncturation 
beneath coarser and more dis- 
tributed: 3.3. Maemo cnet C. simulatorius, sp. n. 
. Size similar; prothorax straight 
laterally, smooth, very shiny, 
more or less sparsely punctated 
about base and sides; elytra 
hardly shiny, intervals a little 
raised, subcarinate, aciculate- 
punctate on either side ...... C. natalensis, Chaudoir. 
6 (3). Prothorax distinctly rounded 
laterally, very densely and
