not aculeate ; the genital armature of the male is much simpler than 
in L. proteana. 
Length 74-84 mm. ; width 4-5 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Bathurst) ; Transvaal (Lydenburg). 
AUTOSERICA RHODESIANA, Ni. Spec. 
Brownish-red with a fleshy tinge, a sericeous appearance, and a 
sub-opaline sheen in fresh specimens; clypeus slightly attenuate 
laterally, slightly emarginate on the anterior part, but not aculeate 
in the centre, very roughly punctured, clypeal suture arcuate and 
plain, frontal part vaguely punctulate, club of antenne of male 
long, but shorter than the head, and flavous; prothorax very faintly 
punctate, slightly attenuate laterally in the anterior part; scutellum 
closely punctate; elytra elongate but slightly ampliate laterally 
before the median part, costulate with the costules somewhat raised, 
or moderately plane, the punctures very shallow and somewhat 
indistinct, but each bearing a most minute greyish hair, the series 
of longer and very remote hairs on the alternate costules are usually 
obliterated on the disk, but can still be traced on the sides; 
pygidium, abdomen, cox, and pectus with the usual sculpture 
and vestiture. 
Closely allied in general appearance to flesh-coloured examples of 
Neoserica carneola and N. natalensis, and distinguished merely by 
the three-jointed club of the male. The shape of the genitalia of 
the male differs much from that of the other South African species 
of Autoserica and Neoserica. 
Length 8-93 mm. ; width 43-54 mm. 
Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Buluwayo, Enkeldoorn, Salisbury) ; 
Transvaal (Rustenburg). 
AUTOSERICA CONCORDANS, N. spec. 
Smaller than A. rhodesiana, and more parallel, the head, prothorax, 
and under side are fleshy-red, the elytra flavescent, it has a faint, 
silky, not iridescent sheen ; the clypeus, the fore margin of which is 
slightly sinuate and plainly angular in the centre, is foveolato- 
punctate, and so is the anterior part of the head, the antennal club of 
the male is very long, but a little shorter than the head, and the 5-7 
joints of the pedicel are almost fused together, the suture being hardly 
distinct even under a high magnifying power, but they are of normal 
shape in the female, the fifth and seventh are aculeate inwardly, 
the club is also normally elongato-ovate, but is longer than usual in
