Genus Toreus Purcell. 
Toreus capensis Purcell, 1899. Annals S. Af. Mus. 1 . p. 399, figs. 15-15 b. 
Originally described as a species of Ceroma, the genus Toreus being after- 
wards founded for its reception ( Annals S. Af. Mus. in. p. 9, fig. 7, 1903). 
The type came from the farm Bergvliet in the Cape Peninsula. According 
to the description, the most striking feature of the species is that presented 
by the fang of the upper jaw, which is long and slender and divided into two 
portions: the shorter basal portion is directed forwards: the longer distal 
portion, which is a continuation of the median half of the basal portion, is 
bent sharply outwards from the base, forming a right angle with its fellow of 
the other jaw. The lower jaw is also strongly curved upwards and outwards 
at the apex. The single series of teeth in the upper jaw is represented only 
by a low black crenular keel without any separate teeth.

Genus Ceroma Karsch. 
Ceroma sclateri Purcell, 1899. Annals S. Af. Mus. 1. p. 395, fig. 13. 
The type male came from Houwhoek, Caledon div. C.P. 
An immature specimen was also recorded from Ashton, Robertson div. 
It was recorded from Damaraland in Das Tierreich, but this was evidently 
an error, as is now admitted by Kraepelin.
