obliterated, the apical part of the posterior is moderately broadly 
dilated, the two spurs are on the inner side, set somewhat close to 
each other, slightly compressed and moderately sharp ; tarsi slightly 
longer than the tibiz, the four basal joints are of nearly equal 
length, and those of the hind legs are somewhat short, the claws are 
long, strongly curved, and have a post-median, sharp, vertical tooth 
underneath. 
The only species included in this genus has somewhat the appear- 
ance of a Contopholis of the Melolonthini division, this likeness is 
still increased by the vestiture of the elytra and especially of the 
abdominal segments, where the appressed hair springing from each 
puncture is somewhat squamulose; the maxille have somewhat 
stronger teeth than the majority of the Pachypodini, with the 
exception of some species of Macrophylla. 
KRASEOPHYLLA DISTINCTA, N. spec. 
Fuscous, with the antennal club and the elytra chestnut-brown ; 
head, especially the frontal part and the vertex, with erect, fulvous 
hairs; prothorax and pectus clothed with a very dense, long pubes- 
cence, femora also hairy; each puncture on the elytra bears a 
minute hair, and those on the abdominal segment a short, appressed, 
somewhat squamiform one; clypeus truncate in front with the outer 
angles slightly rounded and the margin somewhat raised, as long as 
the frontal part and divided from it by a plain suture, both parts are 
covered with deep, nearly contiguous, somewhat rough punctures ; 
prothorax slightly convex in the posterior part and sloping in front, 
very closely and somewhat deeply punctured, but the sculpture is 
hidden by the long pubescence; scutellum foveolato-punctate, hairy ; 
elytra with three costules on each side and a juxta-sutural stria, the 
two discoidal costules are distinct, but the other two are very weak, 
and the whole surface is irregularly punctate and somewhat coria- 
ceous ; the punctures on the pygidium and abdominal segments are 
very closely set. 
Length 15 mm.; width 8 mm. 
The habitat of this interesting species is not recorded, but I believe 
it to have been captured in the neighbourhood of East London, in 
the Cape Colony. 
PASAPHYLLA, n, gen. 
Mentum transverse, slightly sinuate laterally, divided from the 
ligular part by a plain transverse suture, and with the outer angle 
slightly rounded, ligular part slightly narrower at the base than the 
mentum, and with the basal angle sharp, very deeply emarginate
