Aphodius (Blackburneus) agullasi sp.n. Yellow, moderately shiny, only disc of pronotum and suturai intervals of elytra somewhat darker, end of wings darker transparent in last third. Knob of antennae black. Apex of clypeus more or less strongly rounded. Genae sharply angular, strongly produced beyond eyes. Surface very finely punctate. Frons with a small tubercle. Pronotum broader than long, apex and basis without margin. Sides almost straight, finely emarginated, almost parallel. Surface simply convex, very finely punctate, mixed with somewhat bigger punctures. Elytra distinctly longer than broad together, sides almost parallel, almost straight. Striae fine, striai punctures very small. Pygidium mostly covered by elytra. Anterior tibiae tridentate. Both oblique carinae of posterior tibiae very distinct, apical bristles unequal. Basal joint of posterior tarsi much longer than upper thorn and somewhat longer than three following joints together. Length: 3-4 mm. Examined material 90 specimens. Types: Holotype and 89 paratypes: S. Africa, Cape Agullas, 34°S, 20°E, 24.2.1981, E-Y No. 1748, leg. ENDRODY-YOUNGA. Types preserved in the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria, paratypes also in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. The new species is related to A. gnu Endrôdi, separable from it in my key (ENDRÓDI, 1984, in press) as follows: 12 (11) Elytral striae 12a (12b) Upper side yellow, only disc of pronotum and suturai interval somewhat darker. Apex of clypeus rounded, genae strongly produced. Pronotum very finely punctate, mixed with somewhat bigger punctures, punctures of elytral striae also very small. Metatarsi of posterior tarsi much longer than upper thorn and somewhat longer than three following joints together. RSA (Cape Prov.) agullasi sp.n. 12b (12a) Combination of characters not as above. 13 (14) Suturai interval darker.... The long series, collected by my son, deriving from sand dunes of the southernmost part of the peninsula Agullas, are probably phyto-saprophagous, as are many Psammobiini and also Tenebrionids. Aphodius (Koshantschikovius) erytoides sp.n. Yellowish brown, vertex, middle of pronotum and suture of elytra sometimes darker. Shiny. Apex of clypeus broadly and deeply emarginated, both sides of emargination obtusely angulated, almost as in the group Allobodilus. Sides strongly converging to apex, straight, genae not delimited and not produced beyond eyes. Frontal suture fine, clypeal knob weak. Punctation of head very fine and rather sparse. Pronotum broader than long, rather strongly convex, sides slightly curved, basis finely emarginated. Surface similarly punctured as head. Scutellum triangular. Elytral striae fine with very small punctures, latter often indistinct. Striae on apex somewhat deeper. Intervals flat, smooth, more convex only on apex. Anterior tibiae tridentate, oblique carinae of posterior ones dinstinct, apical bristles unequal. Basal joint of posterior tarsi about as long as upper thorn and somewhat shorter than three following joints together. Length: 5-5.5 mm. - Examined material 43 specimens.
