intervals are alike, but the humeral angle projects very little, im- 

 parting thus a more oviform shape to the elytra. Length 34-37 mm. ;

 H. gibbosus, Chaud., Monogr., p. 169. 



Shape and sculpture of H. capicola, but generally a little larger ; 

 the elytra are slightly more ovate, the setigerous punctures on 

 the seventh interval are alike, but there are four punctures in the 

 posterior part of the third interval, one of these punctures is often 

 missing ; anterior tibias tri dentate above the digitation. Length 

 25-27 mm. ; width 8 mm.

Haplotrachelus Atropis, Bates, 

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



Head and prothorax of H. capicola, the latter part with five or six 

 long setae on each of the posterior outer sides ; elytra elongate with- 

 out any humeral angle, striate, with the intervals slightly convex 

 laterally, the eighth very broad, without a supra-marginal carina, 

 the outer margin with a series of well-defined punctures, the base 

 with a few granules, three setigerous punctures in the posterior part 

 of the third interval and one in the apical part of the second ; 

 anterior tibiae bidentate above the digitation. Length 22-24 mm. ; 

 width 6-7 mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Port St. John), Natal (D'Urban, Newcastle). 



Haplotrachelus oviventris, Chaud., 

 Monogr., loc. cit., p. 172.

 the anterior part ; elytra more ovate than in Atrojjis, striate with the 

 intervals slightly convex, the eighth subcarinate, overhanging the 

 margin but slightly, the sixth and seventh striae are distinctly punc- 

 tured, the outer margin has a series of punctures turning to a 

 series of small tubercles in the basal and humeral part, third 

 interval with three setigerous punctures in the posterior part, another 

 puncture at the apex of the second interval ; anterior tibiae obtusely 

 bidentate above the digitation. Length 21-26 mm. ; width 6-8 mm. 



Hab. Natal (D'Urban).
