1904. | Catalogue of the Coleoptera of South Africa. ai 
more or less deeply infuscate ; club of antenne flavous in the male, 
piceous-red in the female; smaller than C. modesta, but of the same 
shape ; clypeus deeply emarginate in front in the male, slightly less 
in the female, clypeal ridge and frontal suture distinct in both sexes; 
club of antennz 6-jointed in the male, the inner joint being always 
a little shorter than the one following, the fourth joint of the 
pedicel is slightly aculeate, but not laminate; in the female the 
club is 5-jointed, but the inner joint is only half as long as the 
one following, and the fifth one of the pedicel is very sharply 
acuminate ; head and prothorax closely punctulate ; elytra covered 
with somewhat deep round punctures separated by a smooth 
interval equal to their own diameter, the dorsal costules are plainly 
visible. 
Length 10-11 mm.; width 5-6 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Port Elizabeth, Graham’s Town, Uitenhage); 
Natal (Durban, Umvoti). 
CAMENTA (HYBOCAMENTA) CORIACEA, N. spec. 
Closely allied to C. nigrita, and similar in shape; the colour is. 
light or brown chestnut, with the head somewhat infuscate, and the 
punctures on the elytra are divided by irregular raised intervals, 
giving the elytra a very coriaceous appearance. 
Length 94 mm.; width 5 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Kowie). 
CaMENTA (HYBOCAMENTA) PALLIDULA, Fahr., 
Insect. Caffr., ii., p. 115. 
Also closely allied to C. simillima, and merely differs from it by 
the plainly emarginate clypeus and the less parallel shape, this last 
is due to the elytra being a little ampliated laterally past the middle ; 
the colouring is also different, the head is infuscate as in C. simillima, 
but the prothorax and elytra are a deeper testaceous, turning to dark 
chestnut-brown, or nearly black, and the punctures of the elytra 
are slightly deeper; antennal club of male as in C. simillima, but 
flavous instead of black. 
Length 5 mm.; width 3+ mm. 
Hab. Natal (Durban). 
Fahreus in his description compares this species with Ablabera 
testacea, Fahr., loc. cit., p. 114; the latter, however, belongs to the 
Sericid genus, Ablaberoides.
