1908.] Catalogue of the Coleoptera of South Africa. 551 



Hab. Zululand ; Southern Bhodesia (Gazaland, Chirinda 

 Forest). 



Two other species of Passalidce have been described from South 

 Africa by Keuwert, Deutsch. Entom. Zeitschr., 1891. The descrip- 

 tion of both the genera and the species is so very brief that their 

 identification is scarcely possible, and not having seen them I cannot 

 give a more detailed description. 



That these two species occur in the South African area requires 

 confirmation. 



Gen. TIBEEIUS, Kuw. (Basilianus, part. Kaup.), 

 Deutsch. Entom. Zeitschr., 1891, p. 164. 



"The left porrect process of the clypeus is scarcely broader or 

 larger than the right, and extends straight out. Antennal club 5- or 

 6-jointed." 



TlBEEIUS CAFFER, Kuw., 



Log. cit., p. 164. 



"Antennal club consisting of six short joints diminishing gradually 

 towards the pedicel. The side furrows and intervals similar to those 

 found in the genus Cancrus.

 Coleopt, Heft v, 1869, p. 30. 



" Clypeus 4-toothed, the teeth set at about the same distance 

 from each other. Forehead declivous, broad but short, and strewn 

 with deep punctures, the border arcuate towards the clypeal horn.
