T^NioLOBUs DEPEESsus, Bohem., 

 Insect. Caffr., i., p. 120. 

 ? T. bisqicadriptmctatus, Klug, Eeise n. Mossamb., p. 158. 



Black, little shining; palpi, the four basal joints of the antenna 

 and legs piceous ; head broad, subquadrate, longitudinally plicate all 

 over from the apex to the neck ; mandibles short, robust ; prothorax 

 nearly straight laterally from the apex to the posterior angle which 

 is sharp ; elytra plane, not broader than the prothorax, subparallel, 

 humeral angle sharp, and base narrowly granulate, narrowly 

 punctato-striate, with the dorsal intervals plane and the seventh 

 slightly carinate at the base, third stria with four equidistant punc- 

 tures and a smaller one at the apex, outer margin finely granulate ; 

 anterior tibiee unidentate above the digitation, intermediate ones 

 serrulate and with one apical tooth, posterior ones not dentate. 

 Length 13 mm. ; width 3|- mm. 



I have seen only Boheman's type, but it seems to me more probable 

 that D. hisquadripunctatus of Klug is the same as Boheman's species 

 instead of being identical with D. planus, as suggested by Be 

 Chaudoir. 



Hah. Caffraria. 



T^NIOLOBUS PICICOENIS, Bej., 



Spec. Col., vol. v., p. 493. 



Black, shining, basal joints of antennae piceous ; head nearly 

 smooth, faintly plicate in the anterior part of the frontal impressions 

 which are ending in a narrow groove, there is a transverse row of 

 punctures on the posterior part ; mandibles short, robust ; prothorax 

 subparallel from the basal to the posterior angle which is not very 

 sharp, lateral part of the base very diagonal, median part narrow ; 

 elytra elongate, parallel from the humeral angle which is sharp to 

 near the median part, and ovate from there to apex, striate with the 

 intervals not quite plane, and the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh 

 slightly convex at base, third stria with three equidistant punctures 

 and a smaller one above the apical margin, the base is densely 

 granulose, but not the outer margin ; anterior tibiae unidentate above 

 the digitation, intermediate ones serrulate and with one apical tooth, 

 posterior ones not dentate. Length 10 mm. ; width 3 mm. 



Hah. Natal (Burban), Mozambique (Eikatla). 



The range of this species is very great ; not only does it occur in 

 Senegal and Zanzibar, but Be Chaudoir says that he had specimens 

 from Ceylon and Beccan entirely similar to the x\frican examples.
