12 (11) Elytral striae shallow, on apex much finer, or other characters different. 13 (14) Suturai interval darker than others. Clypeus truncate, genae small. Pronotum with very fine punctures, on sides mixed with bigger punctures. Elytral striae sharp, distinctly punctate, intervals weakly convex, finely, sparsely punctate. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn and as long as next three joints together. 3-4 mm. - SWA-Namibia gnu Endrődi, 1964 14 (13) Elytra yellow to reddish, at most the narrow suture darker. 15 (16) Head, sides of pronotum and elytra strongly reticulated, disc of pronotum very shiny. Apex of clypeus straight, genae not produced. Punctures of elytral striae anteriorly big, apically very obsolete. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn and as long as next three joints together. 3 mm. - RSA (Transvaal) microreticulatus Landin, 1967 16 (15) Combination of characters different. 17 (18) Punctures of pronotum equal, on sides scarcely denser. Clypeus weakly emarginate, genae not produced beyond eyes. Elytral striae fine, very finely punctate, intervals convex, narrow sides reticulated with a row of punctures. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn, almost as long as next three joints together. 3.2 mm. - SWA-Namibia koenigsbaueri Petrovitz, 1973 18 (17) Pronotum finely punctate, on disc with a few, on sides with numerous big punctures. Elytral striae strong, very distinctly punctate, intervals weakly convex. Hind metatarsi scarcely longer than upper thorn and almost as long as next three joints together. 2.8-3 mm. - Zimbabwe-Rhodesia (testaceicolor Balthasar, 1937) Group 23: Alocoderus Brownish red, shiny, vertex and disc of pronotum darker. Clypeus emarginate, genae produced, front of male with three tubercles, of female only raised. Pronotum finely punctate, mixed with much bigger punctures. Elytral striae fine with small punctures, intervals convex. Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn and as next two joints together. 8-10 mm. - South Africa procerus Harold, 1862 Group 24: Loboparius Yellowish brown, head and disc of pronotum dark. Clypeus deeply emarginate, genae strongly produced, front mostly with three small tubercles (Fig. 29). Hind angles of pronotum weakly emarginate, basis finely bordered, surface finely punctate, mixed with somewhat bigger punctures. Elytral striae fine, finely punctate, intervals flat. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn and as long as next three joints together. 3.5-5 mm. - RSA (Transvaal, Natal) auriculatus Schmidt, 1908 Aberrative form: 1. Elytra with dark lateral spot ab. bimaculatopennls Schmidt, 1911 Group 25: Ery tus 1 (2) Bright reddish brown. Clypeus weakly emarginate, genae produced. Pronotum very finely punctate. Elytral striae fine, intervals flat, on sides rather densely punctate, suturai interval strongly narrowed on apex. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn and as long as next three joints together. 5 mm. - RSA (Transvaal), Botswana gracilis Boheman, 1857 2 (1) Very closely related to preceding species. PETROVITZ wrote: Sides of elytra bare, in auriculatus finely pubescens. Punctures of elytral striae very fine, not notching sides of intervals. Anterior tibiae beneath with a dense row of very long hairs, in gracilis normally setose. Hind metatarsi much longer than in gracilis. 5-5.4 mm. - RSA (Transvaal) penicilarius Petrovitz, 1963 Group 26: Calamoetemus 1 (2) Basal border of pronotum strong. Genae weakly produced. Black, shiny. Clypeus broadly emarginate, front with three tubercles (these in female small). Pronotum finely punctate, mixed with bigger punctures. Elytral striae deep, punctures in anterior half notching the sides of weakly convexing intervals. Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn and shorter than next two jointB together. 3-5 mm. - RSA (Cape Province) granarius Linné, 1767
