Pseudogmothela rehni Karny. From the three typical females I select here as the single type that from Lehututu-Kgokong. By the venation of the elytra, P. rehni comes near my P. media, known in the male sex only, while no males are known for P. rehni. In any case, the two species must be different, since even the female of P. rehni has quite long elytra and wings, while even the male of P. media is short-winged. Besides, the fastigial foveolae in P. rehni are rather of the type observed in P. pallida (Kirby) (see my descrip- tion of it, ), and not as narrow as in P. media.

Karny's brief original description may be supplemented by the following remarks and a drawing of the type (fig. 1) ; the latter is an exceedingly poor specimen, having been preserved in alcohol, entirely dis- coloured and shrunk. Frontal ridge convex throughout, broad, scarcely narrowed at the ocellum, the apex not quite acute, separating the fastigial foveolae from each other. The foveolae are vertical, imperfectly marginated below, somewhat longer than broad, not narrowed in front. Fastigium of vertex acute, pentagonal, longer than broad. Lateral pronotal keels angulately inflexed, obsolescent between the first and the second sulcus, in metazona some- what convex. Elytra extending a little bey
