560 DescrijHive Catalogue [1896. 



two setigerous supra-orbital punctures ; prothorax variable in shape 

 but nearly as broad as long, truncate at apex, sinuate at base ; el}'tra 

 generally oblong or oblongo- parallel, moderately convex, sinuate 

 laterally behind, with or without scutellary stria, and with or without 

 puncture on the third interval ; legs moderately long, anterior tibiae 

 fossorial, tarsi not grooved, the three basal ones of the anterior pair 

 broadly dilated, cordiform and densely squamulose underneath. 



Tschisch^rine has established two sub-genera for the South African 

 species in the Hor. Soc. Ent. Eoss., but all the South African species 

 cannot, however, be included in them.
