commencing behind the eye and joining one another ante- 

 riorly, enclosing a triangular space, which is smooth in front 

 and rugose behind ; before the neck are three costae, the 

 median one much the longest ; thorax, lateral margin elevated, 

 with a conspicuous carina on each side which corresponds to 

 the second elytral costa ; behind the neck are four shortened 

 costge placed at equal distances ; elytra have 5 setose costae, 

 the two sutural being close together and less raised than the 

 others, the interstices have two rows of very large punctures, 

 interspaces smooth ; propygidiuin and pygidium very rugose ; 

 prosternuni, the sides are carinate, the carinte are not sinuous, 

 but approach a little anteriorly, at the base there is a round 

 shallow imjjression ; the mesosternum is bisinuate in front, 

 with aroughly fashioned fovea of irregular outline at each ante- 

 rior angle, it is not distinct from the metasternum, and both 

 are deeply pitted with large round punctures, not thickly nor 

 regularly set ; the median line of the metasternum is fine and 

 interrupted by the punctures. 



This species resembles 0. cosiipenm'sj Fahr. ; the deep and 

 round punctures in the sterna are a distinguishing character. 



Hab. Zanzibar (Bagamoyo, Rajfray). 



OntJwpliilus hipartitus, Lew. — On further examining a 

 series of this species I find that it is distinct from 0. costi- 

 pennis^ Fahr.

Ovalis, iiiger, subopacus, pedibus rufis ; fronte escavata ; pronoto 

 latc'iibus clcvatis, punctatis ; elytris striis l"-4'" integris. suturali 

 posticeobsolcta; propygidio transversim proraiuulo; tibiisdilatatis. 



L. U mill. 



Oval, black, somewhat opaque, legs reddish ; head carinate 

 over the eyes, longitudinally excavated iu the nnddle, sides of 

 excavation raised j thorax anteriorly as wide as long, base a 

 third wider, somewhat closely punctured throughout, sides a 

 little elevated, with a shallow .sulcus within the lateral mar- 

 gin, commencing behind the anterior angle and widest near 

 the middle, scutellar fovea feebly impressed ; elytra punctate 

 like the thorax, striae 1-4 complete and strong, with the inter- 

 stices depressed, giving the strife a raised appearance, all are 

 parallel to each other and a little bowed, the lourth at the base 

 a})j)roaches the sutural, sutural straight and wider than the 

 others anteriorly, a])ically evanescent; propygidium jtunctulate 

 and iipically built up and projecting over the pygitlium ; p}'gi- 

 dium feebly convex, closely but not densely })unctureil ; [)ro- 

 sternum, the keel is narrow, flat, incised at base, anterior lobe 

 minutely and rugosely punctate ; mesosternum produced ante- 

 riorl3r,bisinuous, transverse stria fine, straight, feebly crenulate, 

 and on each siile it merges into a strong and very conspicuous
