frontal part is sharper than in the male ; the prothorax is strongly- 

 convex in the middle, as broad as long and with the hind angles 

 rounded ; elytra more rugose than punctured, and not without 

 indication of some imperfectly formed shallow grooves ; femora and 

 tibiae short, thickened, covered with impressed punctures, lightly 

 hairy, tarsal joints rudimentary and becoming still smaller towards 

 the claw joint, claws also very small, but not without the tooth 

 underneath." 



Length 17^-20 mm. ; width 8^-10 mm. 



I have received from Durban two examples taken at the same 

 time, one with fuscous, the other with testaceous-red elytra. The 

 latter greatly resembles the figure of C. castanca, Kl. 



Hab. Natal (Durban), Mozambique (Inhambane, teste Klug). 



The description of the female is taken from Klug. 



Cyclomera rikatlensis, n. spec. 



Very closely allied to C. delagoensis, but a little more slender ; the 

 colour is the same, and so is the general facies, but it differs in the 

 following points : the clypeus is plainly aculeate in the middle of 

 the anterior part, the margin is more renexed, and the median part 

 of the surface is impunctate, the sides only have some sub-foveate 

 punctures, the frontal part has a longitudinally raised prominence, 

 the transverse ledge on the vertex is very distinct, and the surface 

 is broadly foveate ; the prothorax is very finely s^agreened and 

 plainly rounded and ampliated in the middle laterally, but it is 

 sinuate in the posterior part with the outer angle sharp, the pubes- 

 cence is the same as in C. natalensis ; the elytra, however, are very 

 coriaceous instead of being shagreened, and are glabrous except 

 along the outer margins under the humeral and the rounded pos- 

 terior parts where there are a few appressed, short, fulvous hairs 

 in addition to the marginal fringe, which is rather long ; legs as in 

 C. natalensis, but the two basal joints of the hind tibiae are not quite 

 so broad, and the upper spur is more broadly dilated and rounded 

 at the tip.
