but for the present, as I have not cared to risk injury by 

 examining the mouth, I leave it in Selasia. 



DORYAGUS. 



Caput exsertum, transversum ; dypeus haud discretus, apice emar- 

 ginatus ; mentum breve, antics rotundatum ; palpi maxillares 

 securiformes. OcmZ{ transversi. ^?i^ennoE claviformes, Protliorax 

 convexus, basi sinuatus. Elytra subconvexa, ovata, humeris 

 denfcato-productis. Femora valida ; tihice anticae in medio late 

 angulatae, apice sulcatas ; tarsi breves. 



The sterna and abdomen are mainly as in Anomah'pus, to 

 which this genus is allied. Its chief differential characters 

 are its prothorax very convex and not dilated at the sides, 

 and its short tarsi in part received into a groove in the tibiae. 

 Perhaps the comparative shortness of the third antennal joint 

 may be a good generic character. 



Doryagus taJpa. (PI. I. fig. 9.) 



D. oblongo-ovalis, niger, subnitidus ; antennis articulo tertio quam 

 primus haud longiore. Long. 5 lin. 



Hah. Natal. 



Oblong-oval, black, somewhat glossy ; head closely granu- 

 late ; antenna pitchy, rather short, the third joint not longer 

 than the first, the rest transverse and gradually thicker to the 

 tenth, the last smaller, rounded ; prothorax semicircularly 

 emarginate anteriorly, the sides rounded and bounded by a 

 fine raised line, disk finely and closely punctured, the spaces 

 between the posterior punctures forming narrow irregular lines ; 

 scutellum very transverse ; elytra moderately convex, rounded 

 at the sides and apex, narrower at the base, the shoulders with 

 a marked tooth-like process ; striate-punctate, punctures small, 

 the fourth stria not attaining the base ; fore tibia? strongly 

 angulated in the middle, the apex, and also of the other tibitje, 

 grooved for the reception of the basal joints of the tarsi, tiiese 

 furnished with a few short spinous hairs beneath. 



Caechaees. 



Caput exsertum, postice constrictum : clypeus a capite hand discre- 

 tus ; labritm transversum ; labium leviter emarginatum ; palpi 

 maxillares articulo ultimo subtriangulari. Ocidi reniformes. 

 Antenna; normales, articulo secundo brevi, tertio elongato, quarto 

 ad septimum sequalibus, caeteris leviter incrassatis, ultimo longiore. 

 Prothorax transversus, convexus, lateraliter rotundatus, margine 

 anguste cariuato. Elytra ovalia, convexa ; epipleura angusta.
