the shoulder to the suture ; two indistinct setigerous punctures 

 towards the apex ; under side smooth ; episterna of prosternum with 

 a very shght granulation. Length 35 mm. ; width 13 mm. 



Hab. Zululand, according to De Chaudoir. 



I am indebted to Mons. E. Oberthur for one example, ex collection 

 Bates, labelled Caffraria. 



Haploteachelus latesulcatus, Bates, 

 Entom. Month. Mag., 1875, vol. xi., p. 177. 

 H. rugosostriatus, Chaud., Monogr., loc. cit., p. 165. 



Head similar to that of the two preceding species ; the shape of the 

 prothorax is identical with that of H.polypleurus, but is quite smooth, 

 with the sides not plicate ; the elytra are hardly broader than the 

 prothorax, elongato-ovate, one-third longer than broad, truncate and 

 emarginate at the base with the humeral angles sharp, convex in the 

 posterior part, with seven moderately raised blunt lines reaching from 

 the base to near the apex, separated by broad rugose intervals, 

 blunter near the suture, but the sixth and seventh are more sharply 

 carinate, the intra-marginal carina reaches from the humeral angle 

 to the suture ; two indistinct setigerous punctures a short distance 

 from the apex, also a series of small punctures in the basal excavation 

 and between the intra-marginal carina and the margin ; episterna of 

 the prosternum granulose ; anterior tibiae not dentate above the 

 digitation. Length 33-36 mm. ; width 11-12 mm. 



Hah. Transvaal (Barberton). 



Haploteachelus holcopleueus, Chaud., 

 Bull. Mosc, 1855, i., p. 16. 



Head with the two usual deep impressions (plicate impres- 

 sions) reaching a little further towards the hind part in the male 

 than in the female ; shape of prothorax identical with that of H. 

 latesulcatus and quite smooth ; elytra elongato-ovate, truncate 

 and emarginate at the base, outer sides nearly straight in the 

 male, slightly ampliated towards the middle in the female, nearly 

 twice as long as broad, narrowly striate with the intervals adjoining 

 the suture moderately convex, the fifth, sixth, and seventh more 

 carinate, principally in the male, the intra-marginal carina very 

 acute, intervals nearly smooth or faintly plicate, two setigerous 

 punctures in the apical part of the third interval, a series of distant 

 ones on the eighth, extending from base to apex, and a few punctures 

 in the excavation of the base ; under side of prosternum slightly 

 granulose ; anterior tibige tridentate above the digitation. 



In this species the outer sides of the elytra of the male are much
