and that of the present Cape species. The whole insect is black, except the nine last joints 
of the antennee, which are fulvous. M. Gory only states that the three joints of the clava 
are fulvous in the Senegal species; but, perhaps, this is a mere omission, and therefore I 
shall register our Cape insect as follows. 
Sp. 9. (Macrominus) Oplostomus fuliginous, Oliv. 
Cremastocheilus fuliyineus, G. P. p. 110. tab. 15. fig. 1. 
38. We have to pass on now to the following sub-genus. 
Sub-genus 2. Anoplocheilus, M‘L. 
Antenna of ten joints, the first obconic, and the second globose. 
Mandibles having their corneous external process very little longer than the membranaceous 
part. 
Maxilla horny, prismatic, and long, having the terminal process not distinct from the inner. 
Mentum narrow convex, with the anterior edge semicircular. 
Head small, subquadrate. Body convex and thick. Epimeron very visible between 
thorax and elytra. Scutellum large, triangular. Mesosternum blunt, and not produced. 
Feet short and strong, with the fore tibiae tridentate, and the postenor femora some- 
times incrassated, as are also the posterior tibiae, which are always externally sub- 
bidentate. 
This sub-genus has a prismatic maxilla, something like that of Genuchus ; only terminating 
in three equal horny teeth. Genuchus has only two teeth to its maxillae. But both sub- 
genera agree with Oplostomus in the outer side of the terminal process of their maxillae, having 
no brush of hair. 
Sp. 10. (Macrominus) Anoplocheilus spinitarsis, n. s. 
Descr. Anoplocheilus nigronitidus punetatus, clypoo minuto emarginato lateribus rotundatis, 
sutura prominCnte, vertice pilis flavis liirsuto, thorace sub-semicirculari postice sinuato, 
elytris striato-punctatis, corpore subtus pilis liirsuto, femoribus posticis valde incrassatis, 
articulo prime tarsi medii et postici extus in spinam longam triangularem producto, pseudo- 
nychiis distinctis. 
Long. 5| lines. 
39. I do not know whether I am altogether accurate in placing the following Cape insects 
with indistinct pseudonychia in this sub-genus, because I have not dissected them ; but they 
appear to agree in several respects, and possibly only differ as belonging to another section of 
the sub-genus. In external appearance they are all three very much alike. 
Sp. 11. (Macrominus) Anoplocheilus setosus, n. s. 
Descr. Anoplocheilus fuliginosus capitc quadrato clypeo antice reflexo, elytris supra foveolis semi- 
circularibus setigeris impressis, corpore subtus pilis aureis raris vestito. 
Long. 5tj lines. 
Note. This species like the following, differs from Anoplocheilus spinitarsis , in having no spines on the 
first joint of the posterior tarsi. 
Sp. 12. (Macrominus) Anoplocheilus tomentosus. 
Cetonia tomentosa, G. P. p. 226. tab. 51. fig. 5? 
Note The description and figure of Gory and Percheron answer so well to my insect, that I am un- 
willing to believe it to be a distinct species, although they say that the Cetonia tomentosa of Klug is a 
Mexican insect. By the way, with their usual accuracy, these gentlemen have another “ Cetonia tomen- 
tosa" from Mexico, which is probably a true Cetonia. I shall merely now repeat that as the clypeus of
