 Long. 9 millim. 



Hah. Lake Nyassa (Thehvall). 



Nearly allied to G. Koznigii, ~F., but shorter and more con- 

 vex. The head is finely coriaceous and studded with small 

 shining granules, which are slightly separated from each 

 other; there is no smooth median line. The thorax is of 

 nearly the same form as in G. Kcenigii, but the sides are more 

 rounded in front and crenulate ; the surface is coriaceous or 

 finely granular, thickly studded with small shining granules, 

 which are rather near together ; there is a small median 

 smooth spot on the disk, with three irregular shining spots on 

 each side, and between these and the side (behind the middle) 

 there is an oblique spot, somewhat interrupted in the middle ; 

 there is a small impression in the middle of the base. The 

 elytra have an acute angular projection before the lateral 

 sinuosity ; the surface is dull and studded with minute 

 shining granules, which are generally near together ; each 

 elytron has two very much interrupted, slightly raised, slightly 

 shining stripes, and between the suture and the first stripe 

 there is an elongate but ill-defined smooth spot. The meta- 

 sternum is not produced anteriorly, but slopes down, and is 

 studded with a few asperate punctures. 



Gymnopleurus Bocandei. 



Oblongus, convexus, seneo-fuscus, surdus, fiavo-griseo-pilosus ; capite 

 granulato, antice fere octo-dentato ; thorace antice oblique angus- 

 tato, crebre granulato, maculis septem parum elevatis nitidis, 

 fovea laterali profunda, basi foveis duabus distinctis, lateribus 

 post medium paulo sinuatis, haud serrulatis, angulis posticis paulo 

 productis, obtuse rotundatis ; elytris subtilissime sericeo-granu- 

 latis, tenuiter sat crebre asperato-punctatis, levitcr obtuse striatis, 

 interstitiis alternis maculis obsoletis calvis ornatis ; corpore sub- 

 tus sat nitido, cuprascente. 



Long. 12 milhm. 



Hah. Senegambia. 



This species is closely allied to G. maculosus, McLeay, 

 but is more convex, of a brassy brown colour, and much less 

 distinctly spotted. The head has eight angulations in front, 

 the middle pair more prominent ; above there is on each side 

 an oblique raised line. The thorax is formed as in G. macu- 

 losus, but is more convex and has the posterior angles more 

 prominent ; there is a small smooth spot in the middle and 

 two others on each side of the disk, and another close to the
