Aphodius (Bodilus) karrooensis sp.n. Reddish brown, shiny, vertex and disc of pronotum darker. Clypeus slightly but broadly emarginated on apex. Genae rounded and distinctly produced beyond eyes, distinctly separated from the straight and convergent sides of clypeus. Suturai ridge strong, clypeal knob rounded and weak. Surface very finely and very densely punctate, only knob smooth and shiny. Pronotum broader than long. Sides convergent to apex and slightly curved. Basis finely bordered. Punctation stronger and less dense than on head, on sides somewhat denser than on disc. Scutellum broadly triangular. Striae of elytra narrow, fine, covered with dense and small punctures, being stronger on the sides than on disc. Intervals flat, very finely and densely punctate. Anterior tibiae tridentate, posterior ones with two strong oblique carinae and with short apical bristles of equal length. Basal joint of posterior tarsi about as long as upper thorn and shorter than three following joints together. Length: 7-8 mm. - Examined material 3 specimens. Types: Holotype: S. Africa, Cape-Karroo, Farm Zwartskraal, 33°10' S - 22°32' E, 30.4. 1978, E-Y. 1572, ground traps baited with meat 42 days, leg. ENDRŐDY-YOUNGA. 2 paratypes: with the same data, but 22.9.1980, E-Y. 1716a and 47 days. Types preserved in the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria, one paratype in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Closely related to A. nylsvleyicus Endrodi, but genae distinctly separated from sides of clypeus, head and pronotum more strongly and densely punctate, intervals of elytra more flat, also on apex less convex. Separated from A. holgati sp.n. by its broad body and the strongly, including disc of pronotum, and densely punctate pronotum, etc. Aphodius (Bodilus) holgati sp.n. Body long, uniformly yellowish brown, only sutural canti of elytra dark. Clypeus broad, on apex rather deeply emarginated, both sides of emargination rounded. Sides straight. Genae obtusely angulated, produced beyond eyes. Frontal suture fine, straight. Clypeal knob very weak. Surface finely and rather densely punctate. Pronotum broader than long, broadest at posterior angles. Basis bordered. Sides very weakly curved and weakly convergent to apex. Surface somewhat more strongly punctate than head, disc more finely and sparsely so than sides. Elytra long, striae rather strong, finely punctate, intervals distinctly convex. Anterior tibiae tridentate, longitudinal carina on underside without tooth. Both oblique carinae of posterior ones strong, apical bristles equal and short. Basal joint of posterior tarsi as long as upper thorn and about as long as two following joints together. Length: 6-8 mm. - Examined material 5 specimens. Types: Holotype and 3 paratypes: S. .Africa, Richtersveld, Holgat camp, 28°56' S - 16°41' E, 2.9.1976, E-Y. 1210, singled at night, leg. ENDRODY-YOUNGA. 1 paratype: S. Africa, Richtersveld, Oranje valley flats, 28°28' S - 16°51' E, 3.9.1976, E-Y. 1213, ground traps 37 days baited with feces, leg. ENDRODY-YOUNGA. Types deposited in the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria, one paratype in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Aphodius (Koshantschikovius) holmi sp.n. Surface yellow, vertex and often also disc of pronotum somewhat darker, suturai interval of elytra black. Apex of clypeus rounded, sides nearly straight, genae sharply angulated, distinctly produced beyond eyes. Frontal suture very fine, clypeal knob almost absent. Surface very finely and rather sparsely punctate, knob smooth. Pronotum broader than long, broadest at posterior angles. Sides slightly curved. Apical and basal margins without border. Punctation fine, on disc finer and sparser than on sides. Elytral striae rather deep, distinctly covered with punctures, intervals slightly convex. Anterior tibiae tridentate, posterior ones with two distinct oblique carinae and with unequal
