segment, the 2nd segment slightly and the sides and apex of the 3rd, with the teeth, 

 blue; the antenna? black from the 3rd joint, the scape green, the 2nd and 3rd joints 

 green, largely tinged with brassy tints; wings fuscous violaceous, the hinder pair paler in 

 tint, the stigma and nervures black. $ 



Length 7 mm. 



KHim<in<ljnro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 1,300 1,900 m. 7th May. 



Covered somewhat thickly with pale pubescence, the hair on the head longer than 

 it is on the thorax, on the latter longer than it is on the abdomen. The upper part of 

 the head is closely rather strongly punctured, the punctures running into reticulations; 

 the frontal depression closely finely transversely striated, the striae finer on the inner 

 than on the outer side; the centre with a fine longitudinal furrow. Mandibles bronze- 

 coloured, brassy at the base. Basal slope of pronotum sparsely punctured round the top 

 and sides; the lower half of the middle with a wide blackish furrow; the apical partis 

 strongly, deeply punctured, the punctures round and clearly separated; there is a wide 

 furrow in the middle of the basal half. Mesonotum slightly more strongly punctured; the 

 parapsidal furrows complete, distinct. The scutellum and metanotum are much more 

 strongly punctured than the mesonotum and more reticulated; the depressed sides of the 

 metanotum ; the depressed sides of the latter are more finely punctured, especially at the 

 base; in the middle of the central part on its sides is a large, oblique ovoid fovea. The 

 propleime in the centre form a large, deep conical depression, its apex a little longer 

 than its length, transverse; from it, the depression becomes gradually roundly narrowed 

 to the base. Mesopleurre deeply punctured, more or less reticulated; the lower part 

 smooth, depressed, longer longitudinally than vertically, the lower edge raised, especially 

 in the centre. Apex of the abdomen smooth, the central teeth longer and more sharply 

 pointed than the lateral; the foveae are clearly defined and the central are deeper than 



the lateral. 



Pentachrysis kihouotoensis, sp. nov. 



Dark green, thickly covered with short white pubescence, the fiagellum of the 

 antenna 1 and the tarsi black; the ocellar region, middle of occiput, the middle lobe of 

 mesonotum, the base of the 2nd abdominal segment narrowly and of the 3rd broadly 

 indigo blue, the pleunc and the abdominal segments with slight brassy tints; the apex 

 of the metanotum in the middle ends in a stout triangular tooth. Fore wings fuscous 

 violaceous, the hinder almost hyaline, the nervures black; $. 



Length 8 mm. 



Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 1,300 1,900 m. 19th May. 



Antennal scape and basal 2 joints of the fiagellum dull green, the flagellum black. 

 Sides of front and of malar space densely covered with white pubescence. Frontal 

 depression finely closely punctured, the upper part with some stout waved stria?; the edge 

 above the depression is transverse, with the sides turned obliquely downwards; above it 

 is an almost transverse keel, which does not extend beyond the outer ocelli, from which 

 a narrower curved keel runs clown to its outer edge from the outer ocelli. Thorax
