Species of Carabide from South Africa. 47 
somewhat minor points—z.e., by the presence of the well- 
defined postmedian spot on the second and third intervals, 
which is quite absent in seav-pustulatus, and by the shape of 
the transverse bands, which are narrower and much more 
irregular or jagged in outline. The palpi and labrum and 
basal joints of antennz in sex-pustulatus are darker rufo- 
instead of flavo-testaceous. In sculpture and outline there 
seems to be nothing to separate them. 
C. gratus, Pér., is another nearly allied species. It is a 
little smaller and more slender than diversus ; the punctu- 
ration of the head is a little coarser, the prothorax less trans- 
verse, the shoulders of elytra more squarely rounded, and the 
colour beneath is testaceous, more or less infuscated towards 
centre of abdomen. Péringuey has erroneously described 
this species as black beneath. Four examples in my 
possession from Salisbury, Rhodesia, have the whole of the 
pectus, except a narrow infuscated central line and the 
coxee, reddish testaceous. The abdomen varies from reddish 
testaceous to pale brownish testaceous, more or less infuseated 
about middle line. The fascie forming the elytral pattern 
are narrower, the lower one tends more obliquely upwards, 
and the apical sutura! spot is wanting. 
To obviate further confusion as to the identity of C. caffer, 
Boh., I append a fresh description, taken from four speci- 
mens captured by the Rev. J. A. O’Neil at Plum Tree, 
Rhodesia, which I have compared with Bohemau’s descrip- 
tion and I am satisfied belong to that species. 
Callistomimus cajfer, Boh. 
Length 6-6; mm.; width 24-23 mm. 
Head and prothorax light brick-red, the latter more or 
less suffused with fuscous frontally and between eyes, finely 
and closely punctulate, and briefly pubescent; first three 
joints and base of fourth joint of antenne, labrum, mandibles, 
palpi, and beneath testaceous to reddish testaceous. The 
remaining joints of antennz black and terminal joints of 
palpi faintly infuscate at tips. Legs pale testaceous, infus- 
cate at knees and apices of tibiz. 
Prothorax transverse, truncate at apex, angles sharp, 
declivous ; sides roundly ampliated to below middle, mode- 
rately and obliquely narrowed to basal angle, which is sharp 
and very slightly sinuate upwards. 
Elytra dull brownish black with a faint greenish tinge, 
more or less suffused with reddish about the sutures, with 
two transverse bands, a postmedian and an apical sutural spot,
