2.   COPTORHINA  KlUGII. 
Copt,  nigra;  clypei  dentihus  suhrejiexis ;  thoracis  prominentia  media  indistincte  foveolatd. 
Long,  corporis  6  lin.  ;  lat.  4. 
Hab.  ad  Caput  Bonse  Spei. 
Mus.  Hope. 
Dedicated  to  the  distinguished  Klug,  the  first  of  German  entomologists. 
Except  in  the  particulars  noticed  in  the  specific  character,  Copt.  Klugii  agrees 
generally  with  the  preceding  species.    It  is,  however,  considerably  smaller. 
A  third  species  of  Coptorhina  has  also  come  under  my  notice,  the  locality  of  which  I 
believe  to  be  the  Soudan.
