Mr. 0. O. Waterhouse on new Scarabasidge. 371 



Hob. Port Natal. 



Dull brassy brown. The head with four obtuse triangular 

 teeth in front ; the surface dotted with more shining granules ; 

 those in front are curved, slightly separated from each other ; 

 on the vertex they are closer, smaller, and more elongate; 

 the usual lateral ridges are distinct, and curve inwards pos- 

 teriorly. The thorax is evenly convex ; the surface granular, 

 the granules slightly shining, very distinct ; between the 

 granules the surface is very finely rugose ; the lateral im- 

 pression is small ; the posterior angles obtuse, not produced ; 

 there are no basal impressions. The elytra are a trifle wider 

 than the thorax ; the strias are distinct but dull ; the surface 

 is dotted with minute but distinct shining granules, which 

 are very close together. The pygiclium is rugose. The 

 anterior femora have a small tooth just beyond the middle. 

 The tibia? are moderately broad, with three strong teeth. 

 The metasternum in front is somewhat asperate, with a 

 swelling in the middle which is inclined to be angular ; the 

 sides of the metasternum are strongly asperate. 



This species has much the appearance of G. mundus, but 

 has no basal fovea to the thorax, and the sculpture is quite 

 different. 



Gymnopleurus inconspicuus. 



Oblongus, olivaceus, aeruginoso tinctus, parum nitidus, subtus aeru- 

 ginosas, nitidus ; capite granuloso et subtilissime rugoso, antice 

 obtuse quadri-dentato ; thorace convexo, ante medium oblique 

 angustato, opaco, crebre granuloso, basi biimpresso, lateribus 

 pone medium paulo sinuatis, angulis posticis oblique rotundatis, 

 perparum reflexis ; elytris thorace vix latioribns, sat crebre 

 nitido-granulatis, leviter striatis; metasterno medio nitido, 

 tenuiter parce punctato, antice angulato-tuberoso, opaco, sub- 

 tiliter crebre granulato ; pygidio obsolete punctulato. 



Long. 17 millim.

The head is very finely rugose, with more shining granules 

 scattered over the surface, the granules of unequal size, 

 strongest on each side of the vertex, those at the front part of 

 the epistome range themselves in twos and threes transversely. 

 The thorax is evenly convex, dull, with very distinct de- 

 pressed granules, which are close together on the disk (often 

 touching each other), rather smaller and more separated at the 

 sides ; the posterior angles are slightly impressed and 

 obliquely rounded. The elytra are dull, the granules very 

 distinct and shining, but very small and very slightly 

 raised, moderately close together; with a strong magnifying-
