Melyris parvula, Gerst., Himatismus huprestoides, Gerst., Amiantus 
castanopterus, Haag, Sepidium muscorum, Gerst., Anomalipus heral- 
dicus, Gerst., Mylabris kersteni, Gerst., Epicauta diclirocera, Gerst., 
RJiopalizus sansibaricus , Gerst., Phrissoma giganteum, Guerin); others 
are found in most parts of Africa (e.g. Calosoma senegalensis, Dej., 
Oryctes boas, Fabr.). 
Of the new species which I describe, S'caraboeus cribricollis has its 
nearest ally, so far as I know, in an Indian species S. sanctus, Fabr.; 
Amblysterna Johnstoni is nearest to A. natalensis, Fabr. 
Carabid^e. 
Carabus Deckeni, Gerst. 
This interesting species was described by Dr. Gerstaecker (Wiegm. 
Arch. f. Naturg., 1867, p. 10; Yon der Decken’s Reise in Ost-Africa, 
iii. p. 56, pi. iv. f. 2) from a single female example found by Dr. 
Kersten on Kilima-njaro at an elevation of 8000 feet. 
The two examples male and female found by Mr. Johnston differ 
from the female described by Dr. Gerstaecker in being rather smaller 
(only 13 millim. long), and, so far as one can judge from description, 
in having the elytra smoother with less impressed striae. 
Dr. Gerstaecker remarks on the fact of a species of Carabus being- 
found in this locality, none ever having been found before in South 
Africa. The species, however, is not a Carabus, but a Calosoma, as 
is indicated by the compressed third joint of the antennae; a character 
which Dr. Gerstaecker overlooked when he stated that the separate 
joints of the antennae are formed as in Carabus pumilio. 
SCARABiEIDiE. 
SCARABJSUS CRIBRICOLLIS, n. Sp. 
Black, somewhat dull. Head closely and very strongly punctured, 
the punctures longitudinally confluent on the front of the clypeus, 
the anterior teeth of which are rather acute and moderately reflexed. 
Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, moderately convex, with a 
transverse impression in the middle of the base. In the middle of 
the disk is a shining (but finely punctured) line, which does not 
extend much beyond the middle; all the rest of the surface is 
strongly punctured; the punctures near the shining line are a little 
separated from each other, but at the sides and on the fore part they 
are crowded together and asperate ; the sides are strongly rounded, 
finely serrate, and fringed with black hair. The elytra are a little 
narrower than the thorax, very slightly narrowed posteriorly, dull, 
but with the suture shining; the striae are fine, the interstices flat 
and finely coriaceous (except the sutural interstices and the scutellar
