Genus Toxicum, Latreille. 



*87- Toxicum Matabelicum, Olliff, n. sp. 



Elongate, black and opaque ; head rather broad, narrowed towards 

 the base, somewhat finely and closely punctured in front, the punc- 

 tures slightly closer and stronger near the base ; the anterior margin 

 rounded ; the sides oblique, with a moderately deep transverse ex- 

 cavation between the two frontal horns, which are rather short, stout, 

 and slightly incurved ; eyes not very large, completely divided ; an- 

 tennas with the club four-jointed ; prothorax transverse, strongly con- 

 vex, very slightly narrower in front than behind, rather strongly, very 

 closely and irregularly punctured ; the anterior angles strongly de- 

 flexed ; the sides oblique ; the posterior margin bisinuate ; scutellum 

 transverse, very finely punctured ; elytra slightly broader than the 

 prothorax, strongly convex, moderately strongly and rather irregularly 

 striate-punctate ; the interstices broad with faint indications of trans- 

 verse wrinkles ; under side black, shining ; prosternum closely and 

 rather strongly punctured ; mesosternum, metasternum, and abdominal 

 segments much more finely punctured ; legs black ; tarsi pitchy. 

 Length, g\ mm. 



From Tati. 



This species belongs to the section of the genus Toxicum, in which 

 the eyes are completely divided, and is closely allied to T. aries, Klug 

 (Ins. Madag., 1833, p. 177), from Madagascar. It differs, however, in 

 being slightly broader, in having the anterior angles of the prothorax 

 more strongly deflexed, and the disk more strongly and closely punc- 

 tured. The lines of punctures on the elytra are very similar in the two 

 species, but those of T. Matabelicimi are slightly more irregular.

Genus Oatesius, Westwood. 



Derosfthcerius, Westwood in Oates's Matabele Land, ed. 1, App. 

 p. 362 (1881), (nom. prseoccup.). 



Corpus oblongum, subcylindricum ; capite parvo, conico, ante oculos 

 utrinque rotundato - elevato, antennis longitudine dimidii corporis, 

 articulis aequalibus, externis paullo brevioribus at non crassioribus ; 

 mandibulis capitis longitudine aequalibus curvatis, supra prope basim 

 cornu erecto, apice inciso, armatis ; labro subrotundato, antice emar- 

 ginato ; palpis maxillaribus elongatis, articulo ultimo vix securiformi ; 

 mentum traversum antice angustatum ; palpis labialibus parvis, sub- 

 cylindricis ; prothorax rotundatus, subglobosus ; pedes satis graciles ; 

 tarsis heteromeris, simplicibus, unguibus simplicibus. 



This genus is apparently allied to Centronipus and Stenochia.
