apical bristles. Basal joint of posterior tarsi longer than upper thorn and somewhat shorter than three following joints together. Length: 3-4 mm. - Examined material 2 specimens. Types: Holotype: Botsvana, Nata, SE 20, 26 Aa, 14.1.1978, leg. HOLM, TABACAS, KIRSTEN, SCHOLZ. 1 paratype: S. Africa, Marieskop, SE 24, 31 Ca, 25.

III. 1978, leg. HOLM. Holotype proeversed in the Department of Entomology, University of Pretoria, paratype in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. The new species is related to A. neohaematicus Landin, but the apex of clypeus is evenly rounded, genae produced and sharply angulated, etc. Aphodius (Bodilus) kalaharicus Endrődi The species is apparently very variable. In a long series from Gemsbok vlatke several specimens, have upper thorn of posterior tibiae only a little shorter than the basal joint of posterior tarsi. In some specimens the intervals of elytra are stronger and more densely punctate than in the types. Sugrames capensis sp.n. Moderately shiny, uniformly dark reddish brown. Fig.l. Aedoeagus of Sugrames Apex of clypeus broadly and rather deeply emarginated, capensis sp.n. both sides of emargination obtusely angulated. Sides straight, strongly convergent to apex. Genae not separated from sides of clypeus, rounded and weakly produced beyond eyes. Frontal suture impressed. Surface rather strongly and very densely punctate, only vertex, behind frontal suture, almost smooth. Without clypeal and frontal tubercle. Pronotum much broader than long. Sides strongly curved. Posterior angles broadly rounded. Basis bordered. Surface simply convex, very finely reticulated with very sparse micropunctures. Elytra oval with 10 fine striae, punctures in here very fine and dense. Intervals flat and very finely reticulated. Anterior tibiae tridentate, posterior ones short and strongly dilated to apex, both oblique carinae strong, apex with two thorns and fine hairs. Upper thorn strongly dilated to apex. Posterior tarsi very small and shorter than thorns. Apical joint with two fine hairs. Basal part of aedeoagus very big, páraméra much shorter and narrow (Fig. 1). Length: 5-5.2 mm. Examined material 2 specimens. Holotype and 1 paratype: S. Africa, SE 26.15, ad.

1980. (near Lüderitz in SWAfrica), leg. Dept. Entomologie U.P. Holotype in the Entomological Department, University of Pretoria, paratype in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. The genus Sugrames has so far been unknown from South Africa. Three species inhabit the Sahara (South Algeria and South Tunis) and on other five the Palaearctic Region. Aphodoharmogaster gen.n. The new genus combin the characters of Aphodius, especially the 10 striae on each elytron, and those of Harmogaster transltoria Péringuey, which has 12 very similar elytral striae; differing from Harmogaster Harold by the frontal suture being absent, in the middle only with a very small tubercle and shoulders without a denticle, also differing from Aphodius Illiger in its whole habitus, especially in its sculpture of the elytra (broad striae, very narrow intervals), etc. Type of genus: Aphodoharmogaster costata sp.n.
