Hah. Cape of Good Hope. 



This very distinct species may be placed near the preceding, 

 but it is very unlike any known to me. I believe it is well 

 known in collections under the name which I have retained 

 for it. 



Copris sodalisj Walker. 



The type of this species is a small female from Ceylon. 

 The only specimen in the Museum Collection agreeing with 

 it is from Cachar. It is very near C. sulcicolUs^ Lansb., and 

 has the same deeply impressed strise to the elyti'aand strongly 

 punctured pygidium, but differs in having the whole of the 

 disk of the thorax and the sides nearly to the middle almost 

 impunctate. It differs from the female example of C. sarpe- 

 don, Har., in having the sides of the thorax rather more 

 rounded anteriorly and in the punctuation. 



Copris sinicuSf Hope. 



I think this can scarcely be separated from C. sulcicolUs, 

 Lansb. The typical specimen, however, has only the outer 

 tubercles on the disk of the thorax, the middle pair being 

 merely indicated by a slight swelling.
