70 MR. G. A. K. MARSHALL ON COLEOPTERA [Jail. 19, 



surface almost plane, moderately closely set with low rounded 

 tubercles, leaving a shallow central furrow containing an abbrevi- 

 ated carina ; tubercles bare, each with a setigerous punctuie, the 

 interstices with three dorsal and one lateral line of white scales. 

 Elytra elongato-ovate, much narrowei- in c? , shoulders sloping, sides 

 slightly I'ounded, broadest about middle, apical processes in both 

 sexes sharply conical and turned upwards. Upper surface convex, 

 with fairly regular rows of indistinct punctures separated by 

 gi-anules ; interval 1 with a row of small distant depressed tubercles, 

 diminishing posteriorly ; intei-vals 2, 3, 5, and 7 with complete rows 

 of tubercles, those on disk and near base somewhat depressed and 

 elongated, but becoming sharply conical towards the sides and apex ; 

 intervals 4 and 6 plane, or at most with one or two isolated 

 tubercles ; tubercles bare, usually with short depressed setae, 

 intervals 4 and 6 and the latei-al margin with stiipes of white 

 scaling. Legs finely punctui-ed and with sparse setffi ; the posterior 

 tarsi with the 3rd joint .a little broader than the others, 2nd and 

 3rd subequal in length, 1st rather longer. 



Cape Colony ; Knysna, Constantia. 



The type of this species is missing, and not one of the 10 or 12 

 •examples which I have examined exhibits the doi'sal white stripes 

 mentioned by Fahrseus, but these have probably been abraded or 

 <liscoloured. The species is very closely allied to reciirvus F., from 

 wliich it differs, apart from the colouring, in having larger and 

 more pi'ominent granules between the punctures on the elytra, 

 and especially in the much greater development of the ocular lobes.

Long. 22, lat. ^ mm. 



Head convex, with shallow scattered punctuation, forehead with 

 a faint central stiia ; anteoculai* furrows deep. Rostrum not 

 incised at base but evenly continuous with head, as long as head 

 and prothorax, almost porrect near base and deflected beyond 

 middle. Upper surface shallowly excavate near apex, plane and 

 slightly convex in the basal half, where thei-e is a short central 

 sti'ia continuous with that on forehead, punctuation strong and 

 deep but absent from the centiul line ; upper lateiul sulcus obsolete, 

 lower one well develojied ; scrobes curved and directed beneath base 

 of rostrum ; inferior basal furrow absent. Aiitennce with scape 

 barely reaching eye ; 2nd joint of funicle a little longer than 1st 

 in 5 • Prothorax somewhat bi-oader than long, apex scai-cely 

 narrower than base, sides modei-ately rovinded, broadest about 

 middle, dorsal anterioi- margin truncate, ocular lobes prominent. 

 Upper surface almost plane, set with I'ather distant subconical 

 tubercles, which are sharper laterally and leave a distinct central 

 furrow containing a short low cai'ina ; tubercles bare, each with a 

 depressed pale seta, interstices with whitish scaling. Elytra 

 elongato-ovate, shoulders sloping, sides moderately i-ounded, 

 broadest about middle, apical processes in 5 long sharp divaii-
