Clypeus deeply emarginate, genae produced, front without tubercle (Fig. 48). Basis of pronotum very finely bordered, punctation on sides somewhat denser than on disc. Elytral striae very fine.

Head and disc of pronotum dark. Humeral tooth small. Clypeus weakly emarginate, genae not produced. Elytral striae very fine. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn and as long as next three joints together. 4-5 mm. - RSA (Transvaal, Cape Province) triangularis Schmidt, 1907 2 (1) Scutellar spot smaller or absent. Elytra without humeral tooth. 3 (6) Punctures of elytral intervals arranged in rows. 4 (5) Punctures of intervals distinct, arranged in even-number intervals in one, in odd-number intervals in two rows. Genae not produced, clypeus scarcely emarginate. Elytra without scutellar spot, only suturai interval dark. Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn and as next two joints together. 3 mm. - SWA-Namibia zavadili Balthasar, 1941 5 (4) Punctures of intervals fine, arranged in all intervals in two rows. Genae produced beyond eyes. Head and pronotum black, elytra yellowish, shiny. Hind metatarsi distinctly longer than upper thorn and as long as next three joints together. 2.8-2.9 mm. - RSA (Natal) zulu Petrovitz, 1962 6 (3) Punctures of intervals scarcely visible, if more distinct, irregularly dispersed. 7 (10) Femora abnormally broadened. 8 (9) Yellow, head, pronotum, scutellum and suturai interval of elytra darker. Clypeus weakly emarginated, genae produced. Punctures of pronotum unequal, in elytral striae indistinct. Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn and shorter than next two joints together. 3.5 mm. - SWA (Ovamboland) ovamboensis Petrovitz, 1962 9 (8) Colour similar, but sides of elytra with a longitudinal spot. Clypeus distinctly emarginate. Punctures of pronotum very fine, mixed with somewhat bigger ones, not very dense. Sculpture of elytra and legs similarly vary as in preceding species. Very small. 2.6 mm. - RSA (Cape Province) offen BUB Petrovitz, 1967 10 (7) Femora normal, narrow. Elytra reticulated. 11 (12) Elytra finely, but under x25 well visible, irregularly punctate. Scutellar spot mostly big, triangular, rarely weak or almost absent. Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn and as next two joints together. 2.5-3 mm. - RSA (Transvaal, Natal), (= probes Péringuey, 1901) dorsallB Klug, 1855 Aberrative form: 1. Scutellar spot almost absent ab. indorsalis Endrődi, 1960 12 (11) Punctures of elytra extremely fine, sparse, without or only with a trace of a scutellar spot. Hind metatarsi somewhat longer than upper thorn and as long as next two joints together. 2.5-3 mm. - RSA (Transvaal) effetus Kolbe, 1908 Group 37: Nobius 1 (2) Hind metatarsi distinctly shorter than upper thorn of hind tibiae. Yellowish brown, very shiny, head, disc of pronotum, suturai interval and a big discal spot of elytra dark. A second species is probably A

. carinifer Petrovitz, 1964, described as A. (Bodilus) with no equal apical bristles on hind tibiae. Reddish brown. Apex of clypeus truncate, genae produced, front with a double tubercle, behind anterior margin with a transversal carina. Pronotum densely punctate. Intervals convex.
