Region of the Middle Limpopo. This magnificent species, quite 
unlike any other known, is dedicated to its discoverer, Karl Mauch.

Herr Mauch also sent home a specimen of this beautiful species. 
It is a male, and probably belongs to the genus Bostrichophorus, 
although the labrum has only three teeth and the tarsi have no trace of 
grooves. These characters differ from those given by Chaudoir as 
those of Bostrichophorus, and drawn up from the female only; but it is 
possible they are sexual. 
OxycGonta ; supplementary note.—Since the account given at pp. 
237-42 appeared, I have detected another published species of this genus, 
in Thomson’s ‘ Arcana Nature,’ p. 91, under the name of Phyllodroma 
Delia. The % only is described, and, if the colours are correctly given, 
it differs from all the species published by me, the only doubt being as 
to its identity with Erichson’s O. prodiga. It is 15 mm. in length, 
above of a metallic green, “ becoming purple on the sides of the head, 
thorax and elytra.” The labrum is black, with two white spots (as in 
O. gloriola and floridula). Beneath it is of a “purple-red.” The 
elytra have each three lateral, white spots, the hindmost of which is the 
largest, and oblique ; and the punctuation resembles the species above 
cited in being irregular, with smooth and deeply punctured spaces.
