1904. ] Catalogue of the Coleoptera of South Africa. 5) 
I have seen only one male example of this species, which is easily 
recognised by the transverse impressed line running parallel with 
the base of the prothorax. 
Length 64 mm. ; width 44 mm. 
Hab. Mozambique (Beira). 
DOLEROSERICA FESTA, 1. spec. 
Moderately shining, bronze-green on the head and _prothorax, 
redder bronze on the elytra, almost black on the under side, antennze 
flavous; clypeus attenuated laterally from the gene to the anterior 
angle, anterior part arcuately emarginate but slightly angular in the 
centre, clypeal part deeply and closely punctate, frontal deeply punc- 
tate in the anterior but not in the basal; prothorax slightly 
arcuate from the apex to near the median part, and nearly straight 
thence to the base which is, however, wider than across the apex, 
deeply and very closely punctured ; scutellum also closely punctate ; 
elytra sub-parallel, not very convex in the anterior part, very deeply 
striate in the dorsal, and plainly so on the sides, the intervals, which 
are somewhat convex in the posterior part, are very deeply and 
somewhat roughly punctate; the basal joint of the hind tarsi is 
somewhat shorter than the second, and the hind tibize are not 
broadly dilated inwardly as in the three preceding species. 
Length 5-6 mm.; width 3-32 mm. 
Hab. Transvaal (Lydenburg). 
DOLEROSERICA AUSPICATA, N. spec. 
Bronze-black underneath, with the head, the prothorax with the 
exception of a very broad median patch, and the scutellum bronze- 
green; elytra flavescent; legs testaceous-red, antenne flavous, 
moderately shiny on the upper side and slightly iridescent in the 
posterior part of the elytra; the antennal club of the male is as long 
as the prothorax ; clypeus attenuate laterally, quite straight in front, 
deeply punctured, frontal part less deeply punctured; prothorax 
slightly arcuate from the apex to about the median part, nearly 
straight thence to the base which is, however, wider than the apex, 
somewhat closely and moderately deeply punctate ; scutellum ogival, 
punctate ; elytra sub-parallel, deeply striate in the dorsal part, and 
less distinctly so on the sides, intervals roughly punctate, shghtly 
convex in the posterior part ; basal joint of hind tarsi much shorter 
than the second, hind tibie not broadly dilated inwardly. 
Length 44 mm.; width 24 mm. 
This species is not unlike in general appearance dA blaberoides enews,
