I propose the above for several species of South-African 
Cleride, some of which have been described by Boheman 
and others as ‘ Clerus,”’ but which differ entirely from the 
American species now referred to that name. ‘They belong 
to the subfamily of Tillides, the joints of the tarsi being all 
visible from above. They are not Philocal, differing in 
the form of the antenne and of the thorax. With Zhana- 
stmus they have much in common in general appearance, but 
to any one comparing this insect with 7. formicarius the most 
radical differences (apart from the critical one of the basal 
joint of the tarsi) will appear, notably the short antenne with 
abrupt three-jointed lax club, the thorax with subtubercular 
smooth interspaces, the elytra uniformly punctured from the 
base to apex, the fascize not clothed with scales, &c. ; the 
claws scarcely widened at their bases nor dentate, and feebler. 
For type I propose to take the species I now describe as 
Graptoclerus signatus, and I provisionally associate with it 
two other species which Mr. G. A. K. Marshall has sent. 
Graptoclerus signatus, sp. n. 
Niger, capite prothoraceque obscure sanguineis, creberrime subrugose 
punctatis, hoe antice posticeque constricto, disco hie illic levi, 
spatiis levibus parum tumidis; elytris fasciis duabus albis haud 
eburatis, anteriore paullo arcuata et obliqua, prope basin nec 
suturam nec marginem attingente, posteriore communi, pone 
medium, recta, integra ; antennis rufis, basin versus et apice ipso 
dilutioribus.

The head is thickly, confluently, and subrugosely punc- 
tured, obscurely red, covered with long hairs, and the eyes 
have hairs. he thorax is nearly as wide as the elytra and 
of equal width with the eyes; it is constricted in the usual 
way in front and much rounded in to the base, which is 
margined; its disk is rugosely punctured and there are 
smooth uneven spaces a little raised. The whole of the 
elytra are densely and confluently punctured, without any 
series, and the yellow-white fascia are equally punctured.
