CLITOPA BOHEMANI, Blanch., 
Catal. Coll. Entom., 1850, p. 164. 
Head, prothorax, scutellum, and pygidium fuscous-brown, elytra 
bright testaceous with the suture and the outer margins fuscous, 
under side and legs reddish-brown ; antenne and palpi light ferru- 
ginous red; head and clypeus coarsely punctate, the latter a little 
amplhated laterally at the anterior part, straight in front with the 
angles rounded, a little shorter than the head, not separated from 
the frontal part by a suture but having instead a smooth, narrow, 
impunctate, transverse band, difficult to distinguish owing to the 
dense covering of upright fulvous hairs, which, however, are replaced 
on the anterior part of the clypeus, especially on the margin, by stiff 
ciliate ones ; prothorax hardly convex and very sloping, covered with 
almost contiguous punctures, emitting each a very long decumbent 
or appressed flavescent hair, forming thus a very dense pubescence ; 
clypeus as pubescent as the prothorax ; elytra a little broader at the 
base than the prothorax, covered with irregular punctures each 
bearing a very short appressed greyish hair, the juxta-sutural stria 
is distinct, and there are on each side two fairly well marked dis- 
coidal costules and a plainer supra-marginal one, the humeral callus 
is impunctate, and the elytra are broader at the base than across the 
posterior declivity, not distinctly ampliated laterally in the middle, 
and the outer margins have a fringe of not closely set sete; pygidial 
part closely aciculate and with appressed greyish hairs; abdomen, 
pectus, and femora clothed with a long, very dense greyish pubescence 
with a slightly flavescent tinge. 
Length 15-16 mm. ; width 8-84 mm. 
Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Upper Limpopo River). 
CLITOPA ZAMBESINA, nN. Spec. 
Resembles C. bohemamni, but is larger and has a more depressed 
appearance on the upper side; the clypeus and head are clothed 
with similar hairs, but the clypeus is very plainly sinuate in 
front, the prothorax is also sloping but the pubescence is more 
fulvous ; the chestnut-brown elytra are much more closely punctate, 
and are therefore more coriaceous and the appressed hairs more 
numerous, they are plainly broader at the base than across the pos 
terior declivous part, the discoidal depression is very distinct, and 
they are not costulate on both sides, the juxta-sutural stria is 
obliterated past the median part; the pygidial part and under side 
are as in C. bohemani, but even more densely hairy. 
Length 18 mm.; width 10 mm.
