Intervals of elytra convex. 4-5 mm. - RSA (South Africa) p ter opus Harold, 1859 5 (4) Punctures of pronotum very shallow, especially on sides. Clypeus weakly emarginate. Hind metatarsi moderately dilated, strongly curved. Elytra only on apex very shortly setose. 5 mm. - RSA (Cape Province) cognatus Péringuey, 1901 6 (3) Hind metatarsi in both sexes normal. 7 (8) Yellowish brown, elytra with numerous dark spots. Clypeus emarginate, both sides rounded, genae produced beyond eyes. Basis of pronotum bordered, surface punctate. Intervals convex with a few setae. Hind metatarsi in male curved, longer than upper thorn and as long as next three joints together. 4-5 mm. - RSA (South Africa), (= variegatus Wiedemann, 1823, non Herbst, 1783) emarginatus Germar, 1824 8 (7) Elytra unicoloured yellow or brown, without darker spots. 9 (10) Head and pronotum black, latter with narrow bright sides, elytra yellow. Similar to preceding species, but inside of anterior tibiae near basis without tooth, outer edge with an indistinct third tooth, hind angles of pronotum not truncate . Hind metatarsi in male as long as upper thorn and as next three joints together, in female shorter than upper thorn and as long as next two joints together. 3 mm. - RSA (Cape Province) pallidipennis Harold. 1868 10 (9) Head and pronotum not black, at most disc darker, elytra more or less dark brown. 11 (12) Elytral intervals flat.
