arcuate ; the elytra are cylindrical ; the legs are somewhat more slender ; 
the upper part of the claw is also pectinate and the lower filiform. 
Differentiated from Zonitomo7yha by the greater development of the 
eyes above and their sub-contiguity beneath, as well as by the shape 
of the antennae.

Pale flavous, with the elytra pink or fleshy pink, antennae deep fuscous 
with the exception of the first joint which is flavous, apex of mandibles, 
knees, tibiae and tarsi fuscous black ; body extremely briefly pubescent on 
the upper and under sides ; head deeply and somewhat closely punctate 
all over, the labrum less so, shiny ; prothorax also shiny and with the 
punctures nearly similar to those on the head but a little more closely 
set ; it is longer than broad, attenuate laterally from near the median part 
to the apex, and nearly linear from the median to the base, only mode- 
rately convex from the middle to the transversely carinate base over the 
centre of which is a shallow depression ; scutellum closely punctulate ; 
elytra finely aciculate punctate with the punctures contiguous, cylin- 
drical, and having on each side two very fine not always distinct dorsal 
longitudinal raised lines ; under side and legs very finely and closely 
* Zonitis tenuicolUs, Fabric, which Kolbe mentions as occurring also in Natal ("Die 
Kaf. Deutsch. Ost.-Afrikas," p. 262), is unknown to me. It may, however, be identical 
with one of the species here described, in which case it will have to be included in 
this genus.
