Anterior part of clypeus strongly declivous; prothorax plainly at- 
tenuated laterally in the anterior part, not in the posterior .. .. clypeata. 
ALLOKOTARSA ROTUNDICOLLIS, Nn. Spec. 
Pale testaceous, sometimes light brick-red, the head is usually 
darker than the body and very often black; club of antenne 
flavous; clypeus strongly narrowed laterally in the anterior part 
for about one-third of the length, anterior margin strongly reflexed, 
tri-dentate, but with the median tooth sharper than the outer angles, 
the nearly median keel is slightly arcuate and runs parallel to the 
frontal suture which is somewhat shallow and moderately arcuate, 
the genz are long and are formed by a prolongation of the lateral 
margins, both head and clypeus are moderately deeply punctate ; 
prothorax plainly rounded laterally in the centre and equally nar- 
rowed in the anterior and posterior parts, slightly convex, finely and 
somewhat closely punctate and having a lateral fringe of long sete ; 
scutellum acuminate, punctulate; elytra sub-parallel, or very slightly 
ampliated behind in the female, punctulato-striate, with the intervals 
very little raised, and with deep, irregular punctures, the outer 
margins have a fringe of moderately short bristles; pygidium and 
under side punctulate. 
Length 5-6 mm.; width 3-34 mm, 
Hab. Damaraland (Walfish Bay); Southern Rhodesia (Hnkel- 
doorn, Sebakwe) ; Cape Colony (Carnarvon). 
ALLOKOTARSA CLYPEATA, ND. spec. 
Very closely allied to the preceding species; the colour is the 
same, but the head is not infuscate; the clypeus is more declivous 
in the anterior part, the lateral angles of the anterior margin are as 
sharp as the median aculeate part, which is not the case in 
A. rotundicollis, and the prothorax, which is also more closely 
punctured, is slightly yet plainly attenuate laterally in the anterior, 
but not at all in the posterior part the basal angles of which are 
quite distinct, although not sharp, while in A. rotwndicollis the basal 
angles are conspicuously broadly rounded; the shape and sculpture 
of the elytra are similar in both species. 
Length 51-64 mm.; width 3-3} mm. 
Hab. Damaraland; Ovampoland.
