This was found in numbers by Mr. G. A. K. Marshall. 

 It is a small compactly formed species allied to Onitis caffer, 

 Bohem., but less shining and differently sculptured, with the 

 femora quite unarmed in both sexes. It is black, with the 

 head and prothorax sometimes faintly steel-blue, closely 

 punctured and dull above, and moderately shining beneath. 

 The head is closely punctured (the clypeus of the female 

 transversely striated), with an arcuate and entire frontal carina 

 and a slight frontal tubercle. The pronotum is densely and 

 rugosely punctured, with the marginal line not complete 

 behind and the basal fovese elongate ajid rather close together. 

 The elytra are striated, with the intervals convex and finely 

 punctured. 



Melolonthidse.

 posticis arcuatis ; elytris crebre fortiter punctatis, punctis partim
