briefly pubescent, the pubescence longer and erect on the vertex, 
prothorax and scutellum clothed with a long appressed flavescent 
pubescence, not dense enough to hide the sculpture; elytra also 
clothed with very minute appressed fine hairs, pectus densely 
pubescent ; abdomen and pygidium with fine appressed hairs; head 
and clypeus covered with very closely set sub-scabrose punctures ; 
prothorax ampliated and rounded laterally in the middle, a little less 
attenuated thence towards the distinct basal angle than in the 
anterior part, but not sinuate, outer margin plainly serrulate in the 
posterior part, base bi-sinuate and having a dense fringe of short 
flavescent pubescence, finely shagreened and with the appressed 
hairs somewhat silky; scutellum closely punctate; elytra almost 
cylindrical but somewhat depressed in the median dorsal part, very 
finely and closely shagreened, having faint traces of four costules on 
each side, the juxta-sutural stria is very often completely obliterated ; 
the humeral callus is denuded and slightly punctate ; propygidium 
and pygidium very closely aciculate, each aciculate puncture bearing 
a moderately long, fine appressed hair similar in length and texture 
to those clothing the finely aciculate upper side of the abdominal 
segments, the median part of the latter is deeply and closely punc- 
tured ; femora deeply punctured, hind ones swollen, joints of hind 
tarsi, especially the broadened basal one very deeply punctate, upper 
hind spur lanceolate ; penultimate abdominal segment broader than 
the antepenultimate, membranaceous hinge of the last joint con- 
spicuous. 
Length 194-23 mm.; width 94-104 mm.

““One single male example from Inhambane, resembling Clitopa 
in structure as well as in colour. Brownish-black, not without 
metallic lustre, and covered with long, reddish-yellow hairs as far 
as this colour extends, the elytra only are differently coloured, being 
brown, but instead of being densely hairy they have a few scattered 
hairs; the head is truncate in front, free of hairs up to the vertex, 
the clypeus is reflexed at the margin and coarsely punctate, sepa- 
rated from the frontal part by an impressed line, the posterior edge 
of the latter is swollen and raised, and the vertex is covered with 
longer, reddish-yellow hairs; the greatly projecting palpi and the 
antennz are brown, excepting the club, which is black; prothorax 
densely and finely scaly; scutellum punctate; elytra punctate,
