Male : Head and prothorax light testaceous-red, elytra, under side, 

 and legs flavescent ; clypeus somewhat blunt in front but with the 

 angles broadly rounded, as in G. lurida, but it is punctate laterally 

 only, the suture is slightly arcuate in the centre, the frontal carina 

 is far removed from the clypeal suture, not very much raised and 

 deeply bi-sinuate, the space between the suture and the carina has 

 only a very few scattered, shallow punctures, but the vertex is 

 deeply and closely punctate ; prothorax shaped as in the other 

 species, covered with round, irregular punctures, separated by smooth 

 also irregular intervals, the anterior and the outer margins have a 

 fringe of somewhat remote longish hairs, and the base has a dense 

 fringe of flavous hairs, but the punctures on the disk are not 

 setigerous ; clypeus impunctate and with the basal part only covered 

 by the basal fringe of hairs ; elytra more ampliated laterally in the 

 middle than in the other species, and like them without costules or 

 striae w r ith the exception of the sutural stria ; propygidium finely 

 aciculate ; pygidium punctulate in the central part only from base to 

 apex ; abdomen almost glabrous, and bearing somewhat scattered 

 and shallow punctures ; pectus clothed with a long, thick, flavous 

 pubescence ; tarsi long, oblique ridge on the posterior tarsi culmi- 

 nating in a conspicuous triangular inner tooth. 



Length 19 mm. ; width 10 mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Western Province, but exact locality unknown). 

 Brenske gave the Transvaal as the habitat of this species, but I think 

 that this locality is erroneous.

Mentiun transverse, sub-quadrate, not very convex in the lower 

 part, plainly bi-impressed in the anterior the margin of which is 

 deeply incised in the middle, the incision is straight (qucesita), oftener 

 triangular, but sometimes only moderately deeply incised (caffra, 

 &c.) ; labial palpi inserted on the outer face, close to the sides, basal
