profunde punctato-striatis, puiictis piceis, interstitiis apicem versus 



coiivexis, limbo inflexo piceo-tessellato ; scutello rufo-piceo ; fe- 



moribus posticis valde incrassatis. 

 Var. A. Elytris rufo-piceis, flavo irroratis. 



Mas. CEdeagus vix curvatus, apice ovatus, apicc ipso subacuminato. 

 Long. 3-3^- lin. 



Hab. Port Natal. 



More ovate than P. evanida ; very similar in form and size to 

 P. stolida : from the latter species it may be known by the 

 coarser and rather more distant punctures on the elytra. 



Podontia nigrotessellata. 

 P. ovata, convexa, pallida picea, nitida ; thorace subremote punc- 



tato, basi biinipresso, antice utrlnque longitudinaliter sulcato ; 



elytris sordide fidvis, sat profunde punctato-striatis, punctis piceis, 



interspatiis remote nigro tessellatis, ad apicem convexiusculis ; 



femoribus posticis valde incrassatis. 

 Mas. (Edeagus vix curvatus, lateribus pai'allelis, apice lanceolato- 



ovato. 

 Long. 2i-2f lin. 



Hab. Port Natal. 



The much smaller size and the different coloration of the 

 elytra will without difficulty distinguish this species from its 

 congeners. 



Podontia reticulata. 



P. anguste oblonga, convexa, pallide piceo-fulva, nitida, antennis 

 extrorsum infuscatis, capite scutelloque rufo-piceis ; thorace piceo- 

 marmorato, apice utrinque longitudinaliter impresso ; elytris tiavis, 

 rufo-piceo reticulatis, profunde punctato-striatis, punctis piceis, 

 limbo inflexo piceo-tessellato j femoribus posticis valde incrassatis. 



Long. 3^ lin. 



Hab. South Africa. 



Larger and more parallel than P. stolida, more convex than 



P. evanida. I only know a single specimen of this species. 



Podontia flava. 



P. elongata, parallela, convexa, flavo-nitida ; thorace basi biimpresso, 

 ad latera foveolato, utrinque infra medium ad apicem longitudi- 

 naliter sulcato ; elytris ante medium gibbosis, sat fortiter punctato- 

 striatis, interspatiis ad apicem convexiusculis ; femoribus posticis 

 modice incrassatis. 



Long. 6 lin. 



Hab. Sarawak. 



This species may be at once known from P. lutea, Oliv., by 

 the unicolorous body and legs, as well as by the coarser punctua- 

 tion of the elytra.
