(Scale line = 0-1 mm in Figs 31-33; = 0-5 mm in Figs 34-35.) - Pronotal punctures tuberculate or rimmed at sides. Maxillary palps broadly triangular (Fig. 33). Dorsum brown or black or bicolorous and patterned. Elytral setae not usually uniform, sometimes both erect and semi-erect, or with patches of recumbent setae, often bicolorous. 12 12 Head very large, not retractable under pronotum. Prosternum long in front of coxae; prosternal process well developed (Fig. 34). Pronotal punctures usually simple on disc and tuberculate at sides, sometimes becoming weakly tuberculate on disc also, which then appears rugose (Fig. 20). Elytra usually with short and long, erect or suberect setae, often forming patches. Cuticle or setae bicolorous. (Mauritius, Reunion, E. Africa.) PELECOPHORA(p. 146) - Head smaller, somewhat vertical, partly retractable under pronotum. Prosternum shorter in front of coxae; prosternal process small and pointed (Fig. 35). Pronotal punctures rimmed or tuberculate on disc, or not clearly defined, but never simple. Cuticle either bi- or unicolor- ous; setae variable in length, type and colour 13.
