briefly pubescent, the frontal part is somewhat scrobiculate, very 
plainly carinate laterally and densely hairy especially on the vertex ; 
club of antennz more than twice as long as the pedicel, the joint 
preceding the club sub-laminate ; prothorax clothed with a very 
dense fulvous pubescence, finely shagreened, rounded laterally just 
a little before the median part; sinuate in the posterior the outer 
angle of which is sharp; scutellum covered with a pubescence 
similar to that of the prothorax; elytra very coriaceous, and 
covered with minute flavescent appressed hairs springing from 
every interstice, plainly sinuate laterally, depressed on the dorsal 
part, the juxta-sutural stria is well defined, and there is on each 
side two very faint dorsal striae and two supra-lateral costules, 
the margins, including the sutural ones, have a fringe of densely 
set, short, fulvous ciliz; propygidium, pygidium, and abdominal 
segments aciculate, each puncture bearing a fine somewhat flaves- 
cent hair, these hairs being much more dense on the upper side of 
the segments ; pectus and femora covered with a very dense, long, 
light fulvous pubescence; intermediate and posterior tibize with a 
very rudimentary oblique carina, anterior ones bi-dentate outwardly 
but having also an indication of a third rudimentary basal tooth ; 
hind tarsi somewhat bristly underneath; apical spurs of hind tarsi 
sharp. 
Length 19 mm.; width 9 mm. 
Hab. Transvaal (Lydenburg). 
PERICLITOPA GARIEPINA, N. spec. 
Piceous, with the antenne fulvous, the long pubescence clothing 
the prothorax, the scutellum and the pectus is light fulvous ; head 
and clypeus closely and roughly punctured, briefly pubescent, but 
the hairs on the vertex are long; the clypeus is plainly narrowed 
laterally towards the truncate apical part and is separated from the 
head by a very sharp keel, the ledge on the vertex is very plain and 
is united with the clypeal keel by a longitudinal median ledge; the 
club of the antenne is three times as long as the whole pedicel and 
strongly curved, the joint preceding the club is produced into a 
short laminated process; prothorax finely shagreened, moderately 
rounded laterally, but slightly less narrowed towards the posterior 
than towards the anterior part, and with the basal angle rounded ; 
elytra sub-parallel, but slightly narrower at the posterior declivous 
part than at the base, strongly coriaceous and with a minute, 
appressed greyish hair in each interstice; pygidial part with 
appressed, somewhat long hairs; abdominal segments more deeply
