Hub. S. Africa, Salisbury, S. Rhodesia (Dr. Marshall). 



Two c? (J and two ? ? , found on various dates between 

 April 1894 and June 1899. Smaller than C. sellatus, Ab. 

 ( ? only known) ; the elytra with a narrower, incomplete, 

 testaceous fascia, which does not extend to so near the 

 suture, and the puncturing coarser. C. subfaaciatus is 

 nearly related to C. {Antidipiils) piinctatui^, Er., with which 

 the Indian C. gorhami, Champ. {=pu?ictatus, Gorh,), is 

 congeneric. 



1 7. Culotes sellatus, 

 Colotes sellatus, Ab. Kev. d'Eat. xix. pp. 163, 165 ( $ ) (1900). 



Hub. S. Africa, Vryburg, Bechuanaland. 



A small, convex, shining black insect ; the elytra with a 

 very broad, transverse, testaceous fascia (widened outwards 

 and extending to near the shoulder, and almost reaching the 

 suture) below the base, and the surface densely, rather 

 coarsely punctate ; the base of the antenncC, and the legs in 

 great part, testaceous. The ? type has been lent me by 

 Dr. Peringuey. 



18. Colotes capensis. 

 (PI. VI. fig. 37, maxillary palpus, ^ •) 



? Pseudocnlotcs capenais, Pic, L'Ecliange, xx. p. 11 ( J) (1004). 

 ? Pseitdocohtes iiotatiihorax, x&v.Jlavonotatus, Pie, /. c. (J § ). 



Var. Black or bluish-black, the prothorax, and sometimes 

 the head also in J , the basal half or more of the antennae, 

 a transverse or common triangular apical patch extending 

 forward along the elytral suture, and the legs wholly or in 

 part, testaceous. 



S . Head rather small, unimpressed ; antenna) moderately 

 long, joint 1 narrow, simple ; joints 3 and 4 of maxillary 

 palpi black or testaceous, 4 very large, oblong, obliquely 

 truncate at tip, 3 moderately stout, transverse ; anterior 

 tarsi 4~jointed. 



Hah. S. Africa, Dunbrody (types of Pic), Malvern and 

 Estcourt, Natal, and Salisbury, S. Rhodesia [Dr. Marshall). 



A ? from Malvern, bluish-black in colour, with a common, 

 triangular, testaceous apical patch, agrees with the description 

 of C. capensis ; six others, 2> S S and 3 ? ? , including 

 another J from Malvern, seem to correspond with his 

 jlavonotatus. These specimens are allied to C. (Antidipnis)
