The two species included in the genus are very delicate insects 
remarkable for the very long slender hairs clothing the hind legs. 
The genus is not recorded outside the South African limit.

Loe. cit., p. 409. 
Péring., Trans. 8. Afric. Philos: Soc., 1888, vol. iv., pt. 2, pl. i., f. 10. 
Head black, clypeus, prothorax, and legs reddish, antenne and 
under side flavescent, elytra pale straw-coloured ; clypeus transverse, 
straight in front and with the outer angles not rounded, broadly but 
not deeply punctate, clypeal carina sharp, frontal part impressed 
and with a few shallow punctures bearing a long erect flavescent 
hair; antennz as long as the pedicel; prothorax with somewhat 
scattered punctures bearing each a very long erect hair equal in 
length to those forming a dense fringe along the outer margins, the 
punctures are a little more closely set on each side of the median 
part of the disk, which has, however, an impunctate longitudinal 
band, the basal part is simuate and has a somewhat deep impression 
in the centre of the sinuation; scutellum very densely hairy, the 
flavescent hairs appressed; elytra deeply and irregularly punctate, 
each puncture bearing an erect setulose hair, they are faintly bi- 
striate on the dorsal part in addition to the plain juxta-sutural stria, 
and the outer margins have a thick fringe of hairs as long as those 
on the prothorax, the pubescence on the pygidial part, the abdomen, 
the pectus, and the femora is also very long and not appressed ; the 
intermediate tarsi have very long setulose hairs at the apical part of 
each joint, and the hind tibiz as well as the hind tarsi bristle with 
erect fine hairs, each one as long as the joints, the basal one of 
which is longer than the second. 
Length 94 mm.; width 4 mm.

TRICHINOPUS TITANIA, 0. spec. 
Similar in shape to 7’. flavipennis, but differing not only in the 
colouring (the body being fuscous with the elytra also straw-coloured), 
but the clypeus is a little shorter, more broadly rounded laterally in
