SPARRMANNIA LEO, Gyllenh., 
Schonh. Syn. Ins., i., 3; Append., p. 62. 
“Testaceous, shining, densely clothed with pallid hairs; elytra 
glabrous. 
Length 8-9 lin. 
Claws longer and more strongly curved, with three teeth, those 
of the male with a fine notch next to the apex, and a broad but 
short tooth at the base, that of the female shorter, the apex is simple 
and they have two distinct sharp separate teeth at the base.” 
I have not yet met with this species. 
SPARRMANNIA TRANSVAALICA, nN. Spec. 
This species, of which I have seen two females only, resembles 
closely S. vertumnus, but it is distinguished by the very much 
thinner pubescence on the head, prothorax, and abdomen, the 
very closely set punctures on the head, which are, however, 
smaller than those on the clypeus, are plainly visible, the margins 
of the clypeus are more reflexed, and the two angles of the median 
incision are much more tooth-like, owing to the margin being some- 
what sinuate next to them; the hind spurs of the tibiz, especially 
the upper one, are very much more broadly dilated than in the 
female of A. vertwmnus, its nearest ally. The elytra are light 
flavous. 
Length 23-24 mm.; width 12 mm.

SPARRMANNIA CAPICOLA, Nn. spec., 
Plate XLVI, fig. 47. 
Smaller than S. vertwmnus, but clothed with a similar pubescence, 
the colour is the same, but the elytra are somewhat more roughly 
punctured, and plainly more coriaceous, but it differs from S. ver- 
twmnus by the more elongated clypeus which is also deeply slit in 
the middle with the angles of the incision not dentate, and the 
whole surface of which is almost impunctate; by the shape of the 
antennal club, the inner joint of which is plainly shorter than the 
one following, and by that of the anterior claws of the male, 
in which the upper tooth is simple, and only in the basal part 
is there a short, vertical one, the basal tooth being obliterated, but in 
the intermediate and posterior legs there is a conspicuous, vertical, 
slightly post-median tooth and a minute basal one; in the female
