as the head, is diagonally attenuate laterally and deeply emarginate 

 at apex, with the angles sharp, but not projecting ; the tarsi of the 

 anterior tibiae have the three penultimate joints slightly ampliated 

 at the tip, but the joints of the other tarsi are normal. 



Length 7-7J- mm. ; width 3f-4 mm. 



Fahrseus's description was made from a female, the type of which 

 I have seen.

Pale testaceous, shining with a faint metallic tinge ; head and 

 prothorax covered with fine punctures nearly equi-distant and 

 separated from each other by a smooth interval equal in width to 

 their diameter, and having a faint supra-lateral impression on each 

 side ; scutellum more or less plainly punctured ; elytra very deeply 

 and closely punctured and having each two dorsal, fine costules 

 edged on each side by a regular row of punctures ; anterior tibiae 

 bi-dentate ; pygidium and underside briefly pubescent ; in the male 

 the clypeus is cleft right to the base, and produced into two long 

 sharply aculeate lobes, slightly divaricating, and also slightly 

 bi-sinuate outwardly, longer than the head, and looking like two 

 porrect horns ; the joints of all the tarsi have a thick brush of hairs 

 underneath, and the three basal ones, particularly the second, are 

 very greatly dilated; in the female the clypeus is very obliquely 

 narrowed laterally towards the median part, which is deeply cleft 

 triangularly, but at its longest part it is only half the length of the 

 head, and all the tarsi, except for a very slight ampliation of the 

 three basal joints of the anterior pair are normal. 



Length 6—7^ mm. ; width 3-|-4 mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Salisbury, Sebakwe, Umtali).
