Clypeus emarginate, genae not produced. Punctures of pronotum almost equal, these of elytral striae notching flat intervals. Hind metatarsi scarcely longer than next two joints together. 4.3 mm. - RSA (Transvaal) specularls Petrovitz, 1962 2 (1) Hind metatarsi as long as or longer than upper thorn of hind tibiae. 3 (6) Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn. 4 (5) Hind metatarsi as long as next two joints together. Nebulous spot of elytra often reduced. Clypeus weakly emarginate, genae weakly produced. Micropunctures of pronotum mixed with more bigger punctures. Elytral striae strong, with scarcely notching puncutres, intervals on apex more convex. 4.5-5 mm. - RSA (Transvaal, Natal, Cape Province), (= peregrinuB Boheman 1857, timidus Boheman, 1857, fauveli Harold, 1869) hepaticus Roth, 1851 5 (4) Hind metatarsi considerably longer than next two joints together. Vertex and disc of pronotum black, nebulous spot of elytra bright. Very similar to preceding species. 5 mm. - RSA (Cape Province) dien s Balthasar, 1946 6 (3) Hind metatarsi distinctly longer than upper thorn of hind tibiae. 7 (8) Genae not produced beyond eyes. Disc of pronotum with unequal punctures. Nebulous spot of elytra weak. Clypeus truncate. Punctures of elytral striae notching lightly convex intervals. Hind metatarsi longer than upper thorn and almost as long as next three joints together. 4.4-4.7 mm. - RSA (Transvaal) transvaalicus Petrovitz, 1964 8 (7) Genae produced beyond eyes, or other characters different. 9 (10) Elytral suture troughout very narrowly darkened. Apex of clypeus lightly rounded or truncate, genae produced. Pronotum very finely and sparsely punctate, on sides mixed with some bigger punctures. Striae of elytra with punctures notching convex intervals. Legs as in preceding species. 4.5 mm. - RSA (Transvaal) peringueyi Schmidt, 1909 10 (9) Dark colour of elytral suture on apex broader, mostly occupying the whole interval. 11 (12) Nebulous spot situated on anterior half of elytra, reaching sides, but never the suture. Clypeus truncate, genae weakly produced. Punctures of pronotum fine, on sides mixed with bigger ones. Elytral striae fine, punctures not notching scarcely convex intervals. Hind metatarsi as long as next three joints together. 2.5-3 mm. - Zimbabwe-Rhodesia (bicoloratus Schmidt, 1908) Aberrative forms: 1. Nebulous spot not reaching basis of elytra forma typica 2. Spot reaching basis of elytra ab. parti tu s Endrődi, 1956 12 (11) Nebulous spot long and narrower, occupying more than two-thirds of elytral length, sides always bright. 13 (14) Anterior tibiae long and narrow. Disc of pronotum without bigger punctures and latter sparse also on sides. Clypeus not emarginate. Fine punctures of elytral striae lightly notching sides of convex intervals. Hind metatarsi as long as next three joints together. 4-5 mm. - Gallaland, "South Africa"? (

innocens Schmidt, 1911) 14 (13) Anterior tibiae normal. Disc of pronotum between fine punctures with numerous, on sides with dense big punctures. Clypeus as in preceding species. Elytral striae often dark, punctures notching. Hind metatarsi shorter than next three joints together. 4.5-5.5 mm. - RSA (Transvaal) heynei Schmidt, 1911 3. Genus: Psammodaphodius Endrődi, 1976 Bright reddish brown, bald. Clypeus emarginate, both sides sharp, genae produced. Sides of pronotum with trace of a weak impression, surface somewhat stronger punctate than vertex. Elytral striae impressed, intervals convex. Hind femora broad, oval. Hind metatarsi as long as upper thorn and as next two joints together. 4.5 mm. - RSA (Cape Province) kochi Endrődi, 1976 4. Genus: Ingogius Endrődi, 1976 Black. Clypeus emarginate, both aides broadly rounded. Punctation of pronotum only behind anterior margin as fine as on vertex. Elytral striae deep with fine punctures. Hind
