(= splendidulus Harold, 1866) lucldulus Boheman, 1857 6 (5) Mlcropunctures of pronotum mixed with sparse big punctureB. Colour as in preceding species, but on elytra only suturai interval darker. Elytral striae sharp, intervale almost flat. Hind metatarsi shorter than upper thorn and distinctly shorter than next two joints together. 4 mm. - RSA (Transvaal), (= transvaalensis Endrődi, 1979) dorsaloldes Endrődi, 1981 7 (4) More slender, brownish black, elytra unicoloured yellow. Head without tubercles. Intervals of elytra flat, striae fine. Hind metatarsi much shorter than upper thorn and scarcely longer than second joint. 4-5.5 mm. - RSA (Transvaal, Cape Province) buxelpennis Harold, 1871 8 (1) Hind metatarsi at least as long as next two joints together. 9 (16) Upper thorn of hind tibiae distinctly shorter than hind metatarsi. 10 (11) Elytra bright brown, narrow basis and a line of big spots in intervals 3, 5, 7 and 9 dark. Hind metatarsi almost as long as next three joints together. 6 mm. - RSA (Natal) pantherlnus Petrovitz, 1963 11 (10) Elytra without spots in intervals 3, 5, 7 and 9. 12 (13) Elytral striae on apex strongly impressed, punctures notching the sides of Intervals.

Frontal tubercles in male strong, in female small. Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn and almost as next X PETROVITZ (Reichenb., 1964: 198) ranged "

A. (Bodilus) carlnlfer nov. spec." In group Bodllus in spite of unequal bristles on apex of hind tibiae, and wrote this "unikum" cannot be ranged in an other group. Reddish brown. Clypeus truncated, genae produced, front with three tubercles. Punctures of pronotum not or scarcely unequal. Scutellum triangular. Punctures in elytral striae notching the convex intervals. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn and shorter than next three joints together. 6.4 mm - RSA (Cape Province).
