1892.] to the South African Coleopterous Fauna, 71 



groove, eyes sub-cristate ; prothorax with the sides almost parallel 

 and with three longitudinal impressions, one in the centre, the others 

 on each side of the disk, with the two intervals raised and somewhat 

 tuberculated in the middle ; elytra ovate, twice as broad as the pro- 

 thorax, truncated at the base, with a conspicuous tooth at the humeral 

 angles, very convex, dehiscent behind and acuminated at the apex, 

 costate, the intervals with a double series of deep punctures ; posterior 

 tibiae serrated inwardly. 



Although differing in general facies from the other South-African 

 EUimenistes, I cannot find any character necessitating the creation of 

 a new genus for the present species.
