Teretriosoma saginatum, sp. n. 



Cylindricum, breve, robustum, nigrum, nitidum, undique punc- 

 tatum ; antennis pedibusque obscure rutis ; pygidio convex© ; 

 mesostemo valde marginato ; tibiis anticis 6-7-denticulati3. 



L. 3 miU. 



Cylindrical, rather short and robust, black and shining; 

 antennai and legs somewhat obscurely red ; the punctuation 

 above is evenly dispersed and fairly close (closer tiian that of 

 T. ofruni) ; the thorax is clearly marginate, the lateral stria 

 is strong and before the base sinuous ; the propygidiura, the 

 punctuation is slightly larger than that of tiie elytra and the 

 pygidium is similar except that about one-third of the apical 

 part is somewhat rugose-punctate ; the sterna are equally 

 and rather coarsely punctate, punctures somewhat shallow 

 and not very close ; the mesosternum is strongly marginate 

 anteriorly ; the anterior tibiae are G-7-denticulate and micro- 

 scopically strigose on the upper surface. 



This species is rather smaller and broader than T. chaly- 

 bceum, Horn, and smaller and not nearly so robust as T. afrum^ 

 Lew., but the general punctuation and the form of the tibiae 

 scarcely differ from ofrum. It is a species without any very 

 conspicuous differentiating characters. 



Eah. Lake Chad, Central Africa {Dr. J. Decorse, 1904). 



Five examples in the Museum of Paris and my own 

 collection.

 piceie ; fronte plana, baud striata, impunctata ; pronoto stria 

 marginali tenuiter impressa, brevi in angulo antico ; elytris striis 

 1-3 intcgris, 4 apicali, dimidiata ; propygidio disperse punctu-
