 remote ; palpi and antennae rufous, antennal club flavous rufous.

 sharp, the base distinctly rounded, produced into an obtuse angle 

 in the middle ; elytra finely striate, the intervals flat and with 2 or 

 3 series of granules ; pygidium fairly large, abundantly but not 

 deeply punctate ; under side and legs black ; tarsi red- brown ;

d'Orbigny compares, loc. cit., this species with 0. gibberosus from 

 Liberia. 



Onthophagus cameloides, d'Orb., L'Abeille, 1900, p. 293. 

 O. urus, Har., Cat. i., p. 219. 



Not aware that the name given by Harold had been used before 

 him by Menetries for a species from Lenkoran, I retained this name, 

 which, however, was changed in 1900 by d'Orbigny (L'Abeille, xxix., 

 1900, p. 293) into O. cameloides. This name must therefore prevail.
