55. P. fortipes. Chaud. 



Recorded from Damaraland, Namaqualand minor, Cape Colony 

 (Kimberley). 



Gen. Scarites. Fabric. 



56. S. Molossus ? Klug. 



„ from Northern Transvaal. 



Gen. Clivina. Latr. 



57. C. grandis, Dej. 



„ from Damaraland, Natal, Transvaal, Cape Colony. 



Gen. Tefflus. Latr. 



58. T. Megerlei. Fabric. 



A very large example which I cannot differentiate from E. Dele- 

 gorguei. This last species is not even for me a variety of Megerlei, 

 but quite identical. 



„ from Tongaland and Delagoa Bay. 



Zeloticus. gen. nov. 



Allied to Chloznius. Head narrow, sub-declivous, and narrowed 

 behind the eyes, third articulation of maxillary and labial palpi very 

 short and strongly securiform ; antennae sub-pubescent with the 

 median articulations compressed ; prothorax very long, slightly 

 ampliated in the middle and not much broader than the head ; elytra 

 elongato-ovate, sub-convex, front tarsi spongy with the three basal 

 articulations extremely dilated in the male. 



The characteristic difference between Zeloticus and Chloznius is 

 found in the extreme securiform shape of the third articulation of the 

 palpi and its shortness ; the general facies is also different ; the head 

 is much more elongated, the prothorax narrower, longer and less 

 ampliated than in the group Vertagus, and the colouring of the elytra 

 is also very different from that of any Chloznius. 



59. Z. TR1STIS. 



Niger, sub-nitidus, capite prothoraceque glabris, hoc capite paulo 

 I ongiore, angusto, in medio breviter ampliato, longitudinaliter canali- 

 culato, posticeque utrinque longe sulcato ; elytris elongatis, sub-ovatis
