SINIERUS, gen. nov. 
Allied to Dinia, Stal, from which it differs in the following 
particulars :—Head shorter and not equal in length to the 
pronotum ; basal joint of antenne passing the apex of the 
head, third joint not longer than first; pronotum with a 
distinct transverse impression, each lobe slightly gibbous, 
its lateral margins sinuate ; scutellum moderately excavated 
at base. 
This genus is founded on the unique type of Aphanus 
capensis, Dall., a carded specimen, not affording opportunity 
for full generic diagnosis. It is, however, necessary to 
properly locate the species, which has hitherto only been 
enumerated in the “ species incerti generis’ of catalogues.
